How much effort did you personally "put forth" figuring out the answer? 
Sorry, couldn't resist. I was laughing like crazy after reading your post on "put forth" the other day.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

I admit I was confused when I read the article, but following one of the links, all became clear. It seems that there have been claims that there has been a takeover plot in Birmingham by Islamist extremists. There looks to be a lot of claims being made, but the proof looks thin.
My conclusion is that it's one of:
- Paranoia
- Inflammatory claims by the far right
- Really happening and the left is oblivious
- Really happening and the left is in on it
- Pure coincidence
I.e., I don't have a clue!

Well, it's the Friday before Christmas, and I hope you are all well organised rather than running round like blue bottomed flies trying to sort last minute pressies and suchlike?
In an effort to get into the Christmas Spirit, I loaded my "Christmas playlist" into the PC player, and the first thing it randomly came up with was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlIs27Z5Hrk[^] and it looks like what will follow is a load of Trans Siberian Orchestra.
So what are you listening to?
[edit]
Nope, I was wrong - the next up was "Jingle Bells (from Serious Sam the Second Encounter)" - That's more like it!

Yes! I've got it on "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" but the video is good (as always with TSO)

Sad to think that the kitten from the video is probably dead now. 
If you want some alternative Christmas music, try this list[^].

Griff, you're letting your Grinch-like façade slip. Careful!

Alas, perhaps you only remember the Grinch at the beginning of the story and not at the end?

Ah, but Christmas is not actually here yet!
... and we all know that OG is not really a Grinch anyway, he was just having a quite understandable reaction to cats and Christmas trees, which are often a bad combination.
Clearly his sangfroid is returning. Maybe the cat left?

Well, yes, but it's a bit like Groundhog Day, except there's a year between the repeats:
Griff puts up the tree, fixing it to the stairs with nails, wire, scaffolding, girders, epoxy and duct tape. After which the cat jumps through the tree, scares Griff and then proceeds to try to destroy the tree.
After which Griff has a quiet little rant on CP about how he hates Christmas.

Mostly Bob Rivers. 
I finally got around to ripping a couple dozen seasonal CDs last week and added them to what I have on my phone.

I can recommend a few for other aging hippies like myself:
An Evening of Carols and Capers by Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band has a lovely folky, almost medieval sound.
A Midnight Clear by Gordon Giltrap. Giltrap is a truly magnificent guitarist and this album has some great Christmas instrumentals.
Any album by The Albion Christmas Band (lead by Ashley Hutchings, the founder of both Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span). I have An Albion Christmas, which has a nice mix of music and readings by Mr Hutchings.
I have lots of others, but these 3 are among my favourite Christmas listens and are maybe a little more obscure.
Enjoy!

A programming language with Radium without article for Nitrogen in a foe and Chlorine added to a male offspring to save from the flood not in order? (6, 8)
Bonus one for the weekend:
The first two of the German goblin at a water body with a burnt residue, Roman one and Japanese ship ending for a fictional test? (9, 4)
Not too difficult I think. Good luck!
Your time will come, if you let it be right.
