WE HOLD BRITISH POLICE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING

Imran Khan, has blamed Altaf Hussain for Zahra’s killing in Karachi.

In a tweet, the PTI chief has said that he holds Altaf Hussain directly responsible for the killing as he (Altaf) openly threatened the PTI activists and leader through public broadcasts. Khan, in another tweet, also holds British government responsible for the ‘murder’ of Zahra Shahid as he said that he had warned them about British citizen Hussain after his open threats to PTI workers’ lives.
We strongly condemn the Brutal killing of a Pakistan political activist belonging to Imran Khan and hold the British government responsible when clear message was given by 500000 Pakistani M-16 which is protecting a Terrorist in London forced the Police not to take any action
Shame on M-15 the British spy Agency.
All Pakistani must come forward to condemn the Bruytal muder with the help of British and boycot British and stop all supplies to Nato immediatly Block all roads that carry any supplies to British forces in Afghanistan

BRITISH ARE WORST THEN NAZI SHOOT THEM

Thousands of Pakistani victims targeted by bombers and blasts could still have been alive if these detectors were not fake and had worked effectively. James McCormick, 56, was found guilty of three counts of fraud at London’s Old Bailey for selling completely ineffective devices based on an American novelty golf ball finder. McCormick made an estimated £50 million from sales of his three models to customers that included Iraq, Belgium, the United Nations, Pakistan, Yemen, Georgia, Niger, and several other countries.

“The devices did not work and he knew they did not work,” prosecutor Richard Whittam told jurors. Each device was sold for £27,000. Bomb detectors are used widely in Pakistan by private and state security forces but public and private agencies will have to buy new and authentic equipment.

“And despite the fact they did not work, people bought them for a handsome but unwarranted profit.” McCormick has been bailed until his sentencing on May 2. The businessman, who is from Langport in Somerset, southwest England, is believed to have made around £37 million from sales to Iraq alone, while other customers included Georgia and Niger.

A source has told The News that the crooked businessman is believed to have sold fake equipment worth millions to Pakistan as well in the last 10 years. When contacted by The News, Pakistani security officials sought more time to find details about the nature of the equipment bought by Pakistan. It will be interesting to see whether the fake bomb detectors were bought by Pakistan’s armed forces or the police services and who facilitated this deal.

This high-profile case with serious ramifications for Pakistan has almost gone unnoticed in Pakistan but questions arise about those who will be found involved in this deal, definitely lining their own pockets. But more importantly, there is an issue of the lives lost in Pakistan.

More than 40,000 Pakistanis have lost their lives since the start of the so-called ‘war on terror’ and since the start of this war, Pakistan has been buying equipment from western countries and these countries have been giving weapons to Pakistan also. Several Pakistanis may have lost their lives due to these ineffectual detectors, used by security forces at check points and elsewhere. Many of the suicide bombings and bomb attacks could have been stopped if these detectors were effective and working but after the trial in London and the expose of the businessman’s fraud it is becoming certain that his company has the blood of Pakistanis on his hands. McCormick stressed during court proceedings that he mainly sold equipment to military establishments but he didn’t say whether he had sold this equipment directly to Pakistan military or through civilian government, if in the last five years.

It has been said that the British government officials advised the conman on how to market his products to the conflict ridden countries. McCormick was able to persuade governments and military chiefs that they could detect tiny traces of explosives, drugs, ivory and even humans at a distance of up to three miles.

British media has focused on how this fraud could have cost the lives of thousands of Iraqis but nothing has been mentioned about Pakistanis who have been killed and maimed in more than 10 years of the ‘war on terror’.

The Iraqi government spent £56 million on the fake bomb detectors, some of which was paid as bribes to senior figures. A spokesman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills denied any knowledge about McCormick’s business deal, including with Pakistan.

Discreet head does not recall royal beating THE DUKE OF YARD WAS SPANKED FLOGGING

An eight-year-old Prince Andrew is greeted by James Edwards at Heatherdown Preparatory School in 1968

THE headmaster who beat the Duke of York at his preparatory school said yesterday that he had no recollection of the event. James Edwards, 75, recalled that the standard form of punishment at Heatherdown, near Ascot, was a clothes brush administered to the backside.

Mr Edwards, who lives in retirement in the West Country, was head of the school seven miles from Windsor Castle that the young Prince Andrew attended between 1968 and 1973 before going to Gordonstoun.

Even if he could recall the incident he would not dream of breaking the confidentiality, he said.

In an interview to launch the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children's Full Stop appeal against cruelty to children, the Duke said that he had once been beaten at his prep school, but would never beat his own children. His parents had never hit him, he added.

Mr Edwards recalled yesterday that he had inherited the clothes brush, the school's only form of corporal punishment, from his predecessor as headmaster. "I disapproved of the cane, and I strongly disapproved of older boys administering punishment to younger ones, as happened in some schools," he said.

The clothes brush was used only rarely. "If you have to have corporal punishment, it has to be standardised, which is why I never entrusted it to anyone else," Mr Edwards said.

He has mixed feelings about corporal punishment being banned in schools. "Its danger was that it was always open to abuse," he said.

Before Heatherdown, set in its own 30 acres of grounds, closed in 1982, it also schooled to Prince Edward, James Ogilvy, the son of Princess Alexandra, and the Earl of St Andrews, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent. There is no record of any of them having suffered the clothes brush, which was clearly an effective instrument: the Duke of York said that, when he moved on to Gordonstoun, he never suffered corporal punishment again.

Neither the Duke nor his headmaster was prepared to say what misdemeanour prompted the punishment. Suspicion remains that the clothes brush was administered following an incident during a school outing to the Natural History Museum in London, when Prince Andrew was 11. Some Heatherdown boys were involved in a scuffle with teenagers who were said to have approached them demanding money.

Buckingham Palace vehemently denied that the Prince had been involved. The discreet Mr Edwards may have known better.

UNITED KINGDOM FLOGGING

UK Navy, early 19th century FLOGGING IN UK ARMY "Kissing the gunner's daughter" Flo

Lord Louis Mountbatten (1900 - 1979)

 

Mountbatten was a British naval officer who oversaw the defeat of the Japanese offensive towards India during World War Two. He was appointed the last viceroy of British India and first governor general of independent India.

Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten was born in Windsor on 25 June 1900. A German aristocrat, as the son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse, he also shared close links with the British royal family (his great grandmother was Queen Victoria and he himself was uncle to Prince Philip).

Mountbatten's father was first sea lord at the outbreak of World War One, but anti-German feeling forced his resignation. In 1917, the family changed their name from Battenberg to the less-Germanic sounding Mountbatten.

Mountbatten, known as 'Dickie' to family and close friends, was educated mainly at home until 1914 when he went to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. He joined the Royal Navy in 1916 and saw action in World War One, then briefly attended Cambridge University for a year after the war.

Mountbatten spent the inter-war period pursuing his naval career, where he specialised in communications. In 1934, he received his first command on the destroyer, HMS 'Daring'. In June 1939, shortly before the outbreak of war, Mountbatten gained command of a flotilla of destroyers which saw considerable action in the Mediterranean. In May 1941, his ship HMS 'Kelly' was sunk by German dive bombers off the coast of Crete with the loss of more than half the crew. 'Kelly' and her captain were later immortalised in Noel Coward's film 'In Which We Serve'.

In April 1942, Mountbatten was appointed chief of combined operations, with responsibility for the preparation of the eventual invasion of occupied Europe. In the meantime, he organised raids against Europe's coastline, overseeing the disastrous Dieppe raid of August 1942. In October 1943, he became the supreme allied commander, South East Asia Command (SEAC), a position he held until 1946. Working with General William Slim, Mountbatten achieved the defeat of the Japanese offensive towards India and the reconquest of Burma. In September 1945, he received the Japanese surrender at Singapore.

In March 1947, Mountbatten became viceroy of India with a mandate to oversee the British withdrawal. He established good relations with leading politicians, particularly with Jawaharlal Nehru, but was unable to persuade the Muslim leader Mohammad Ali Jinnah of the benefits of a united, independent India.

Mountbatten soon gave up hope of a united country and on 14-15 August 1947, British India was partitioned into the new states of India and Pakistan. This resulted in widespread inter-communal violence, particularly in the Punjab, which now sat in East India, and West Pakistan. There were huge population movements as 3.5 million Hindus and Sikhs fled from the areas that had become Pakistan and around five million Muslims migrated to Pakistan.

Mountbatten remained as interim governor-general of India until June 1948. For his services during the war and in India he was created viscount in 1946 and Earl Mountbatten of Burma the following year.

In 1953, Mountbatten returned to the Royal Navy, becoming commander of a new NATO Mediterranean command. Then in 1954 he was appointed first sea lord, a position which had been held by his father more than 40 years before. Finally, in 1959, he became chief of the defence staff, then in 1965 he retired from the navy.

On 27 August 1979, Mountbatten was murdered when IRA terrorists blew up his boat off the coast of County Sligo, Ireland, near his family holiday home at Classiebawn Castle. Two of Mountbatten's relations and a 15-year old local boy were also killed.

Mountbatten's funeral took place in Westminster Abbey and he was buried at Romsey Abbey, near Broadlands. He had no sons, which meant that Mountbatten's eldest daughter, Patricia, inherited his title.

Prince Harry's Romance With A Shopgirl Revealed!

An otherwise rather predictable new biography of Prince Harry serialized in the Daily Mail over the weekend and again today does contain one bona fide scoop – the tale of Harry’s schoolboy romance with a lowly shopgirl named Margaret. At least, we are told by author Chris Hutchins, that is her middle name as she refused to be fully identified, for reasons which will become clear.

Chris Jackson/Getty

The romance developed after Harry’s passionate Valentine cards and declarations of love for Laura Gerard Leigh, the daughter of a multi-millionaire stockbroker who was a pal of his grandpa Prince Philip, went unrequited. With the posh girls giving him no dice, it seems Harry re-adjusted his targeting somewhat, and instead opted for proximity.

'Margaret' worked at one of the many convenience stores that line Eton High Street, where boys are allowed to shop for extra food.

According to Hutchins, ‘Margaret’ didn’t recognize Harry when he came in to buy some supplies, and even when he asked her to go out for a drink with him (presumably an illegal mission to one of the pubs in nearby Windsor) it was left to one of her co-workers to inform her that her date was Prince Harry.

Hutchins – who claims that the veracity of the ‘Margaret’ story has been confirmed to him by palace insiders – says that the two did indeed go for a drink, but there was a problem.

‘Margaret’ had a boyfriend of her own, and she wasn't prepared to drop him for Harry! She even says she knew what she was doing was 'wrong' and was desperate for no-one to see them together.

It's all very Romeo and Juliet, and she goes into details about being from the 'wrong side of the tracks' etc etc.

And although Harry was nice and pleasant and a certain amount of hand-holding and even some kissing took place over the next few dates, the relationship never really got off the ground – not least because Margaret “risked losing the boy I'd been courting for nearly two years” and “there was a man who was obviously his minder hovering in the background” which is enough to put anyone off their snogging technique.

"Harry called me several times after that but I had to tell him I couldn't see him again. He was pleading but I knew it was wrong. I could never be part of his world. I cried buckets after that last call but he never rang me again. I went on to marry my boyfriend, and I'm pleased to say we're very happy and have two lovely children.”

And guess what – she still hasn’t told her husband!

IRON LADY IS NO MORE

LONDON | Mon Apr 8, 2013 12:27pm EDT

(Reuters) - Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" who transformed Britain and inspired conservatives around the world by radically rolling back the state during her 11 years in power, died on Monday following a stroke. She was 87.

Britain's only woman prime minister, the unyielding, outspoken Thatcher led the Conservatives to three election victories, governing from 1979 to 1990, the longest continuous period in office by a British premier since the early 19th century.

 

A grocer's daughter with a steely resolve, she was loved and loathed in equal measure as she crushed the unions, privatized vast swathes of British industry, clashed with the European Union and fought a war to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invaders.

She struck up a close relationship with U.S. President Ronald Reagan in the Cold War, backed the first President George Bush during the 1991 Gulf War, and declared that Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was a man she could do business with.

"Very few leaders get to change not only the political landscape of their country but of the world. Margaret was such a leader. Her global impact was vast," said Tony Blair, Labour prime minister from 1997-2007.

"Some of the changes she made in Britain were, in certain respects at least, retained by the 1997 Labour Government, and came to be implemented by governments around the world," said Blair.

Prime Minister David Cameron cut short a visit to Europe to return to Britain after the death was announced and British flags on government buildings and royal palaces across London were lowered to half mast.

U.S. President Barack Obama said: "America has lost a true friend."

Mourners began to lay roses, tulips and lilies on the doorstep of her house in Belgravia, one of London's most exclusive areas. One note said: "The greatest British leader" while another said to "the iron lady".

Thatcher died peacefully on Monday morning at the Ritz hotel after a stroke. She had been in poor health for months and had declined into dementia in her final years.

Lord Bell, a spokesman for the family, compared her to her hero Winston Churchill, while Cameron said she would go down as Britain's greatest peacetime prime minister.

"We've lost a great leader, a great prime minister and a great Briton," Cameron said. "The real thing about Margaret Thatcher is that she didn't just lead our country, she saved our country."

The British government said Thatcher would have a ceremonial funeral with military honors at London's St Paul's Cathedral, which falls short of a full state funeral, in accordance with the wishes of her family.

COLD WAR WARRIOR

The abiding domestic images of her premiership will remain those of conflict: huge police confrontations with the miners' union, her riding a tank in a white headscarf, and flames rising above Trafalgar Square in the riots over an unpopular local tax which ultimately led to her downfall.

"It's very sad to hear of her death but her legacy and death are two different things. Politically, she did not leave a good legacy for the working class," Kevin Robertson, a 39-year-old garage manager, told Reuters in Edinburgh.

Some opponents said on social media that they would hold a party to celebrate her death while a website set up to ask if Thatcher was dead had received 170,000 likes by midday.

To those who opposed her she was blunt to a degree.

"The lady's not for turning", she once informed members of her own Conservative Party who were urging her to moderate her policies. In power she faced plotting inside her party from those who thought she was unreasonably divisive.

While often deeply unpopular at home - especially in northern England, Wales, Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland - Thatcher's strength won her praise and high regard in both Washington, Berlin and Moscow.

The Soviet defense ministry newspaper Red Star dubbed Thatcher the "Iron Lady" and she reveled in the nickname though she worked closely with Gorbachev as he opened up the Soviet Union.

She formed a strong alliance against communism with Reagan and was rewarded by seeing the Berlin Wall torn down in 1989, though she warned Gorbachev that a unified Germany would come to dominate Europe.

"Thatcher was a politician whose word carried great weight," said Gorbachev, who sought to reform the Soviet Union and improved ties with the West but failed to avert the collapse of the nuclear-armed superpower.

"Our first meeting in 1984 marked the beginning of a relationship that was at times difficult, not always smooth, but was treated seriously and responsibly by both sides," Gorbachev, 82, said.

Months before Gorbachev succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as Soviet leader, Thatcher said of Gorbachev: "We can do business together".

'IRON LADY'

Others who crossed her path, particularly in Europe, were subjected to withering diatribes often referred to as "handbaggings", named after the black leather bag she invariably carried.

Her personal credo, founded on competition, private enterprise, thrift and self-reliance, gave birth to a political philosophy known as "Thatcherism".

"A lot of people, my contemporaries from where I grew up, didn't like her. But I bought my first property age 22. I thank her for getting me out of that council estate," said Mark Guard, a 48-year-old filmmaker who grew up in public housing in northern England.

"She was a very patriotic leader of this country and I think she changed it for the better," he said as he dropped off a bunch of flowers at her house in London.

Thatcher's combative opposition to greater European integration antagonized allies in Europe and ultimately helped to sow the seeds of her own downfall.

"She saved the pound and if we didn't have the pound we'd be another Greece or Portugal," said Jack Hikmet, who has owned a pharmacy in Thatcher's former constituency of Finchley for 35 years.

In a few tense weeks at the end of 1990, Thatcher fell from power as some of her most senior ministers turned on her in what she said later was treachery.

"Her memory will live long after the world has forgotten the grey suits of today's politics," said London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Indians hated British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill.

It is said that sixty four years ago, during the last days of the British rule, Indians hated British Prime Minister The Right Honorable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, FRS, PC who steadfastly opposed the grant of freedom to India by his vituperative statements such as:

Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and sillyhearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.”

“India is merely a geographical expression. It is no more a single country than the equator.

Sir Winston Churchill was a visionary and was able to visualize what kind of political set-up, bureaucratic and Education system the Britishers were leaving behind them. After 65 years of Independence we now realize that Churchill was a true prophet and foretold of what was in store for the good people of India – a social welfare state.

Later, it is said, that Churchill always described the years1896 to1897, when he served as a soldier and journalist in India, as “the university of his life.”

We have to admit, barring a very few notable exceptions among our leaders, that all our present day Indian politicians are of ‘low caliber’ who make hay while sun shines by mortgaging our freedom for the welfare of their own families.

In the present political arena in India, the political parties keep aside all their moral principles just before the elections and ally with their political enemies.

While canvassing for votes, these ‘rascals, rogues and freebooters’ come to our doorsteps, and with ‘sweet tongues’ inviegle us by competing with each other by doling out instant cash as per the number of votes in each household and also promise to give non-existing freebies when their party wins.

After the elections, the winning parties part their ways and “will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles’.

Sir Winston Churchil’s prediction, ‘A day would come when even air and water would be taxed’ has come true. Even polluted and contaminated water is taxed by municipal corporations, townships, and village panchayats.

Selling water, once considered a sin, is now a booming business because the government is unable to supply clean, potable water to its citizens. Raw water is supplied by tankers and purified potable mineral water in canisters and bottles.

Air is not taxed at the moment. Even now, the Central Government of India and its satellite States, might be conferring and analyzing the ways and means of levying tax on the contaminated impure air that we are now being forced to breath.

“Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.”

The above passage that I used at the beginning of this post has often been cited and purported to a speech on the eve of Indian Independence in 1947 by Sir Winston Churchill or even from a speech in the house of Commons. However, it does not appear to have any credible source.

It might have first appeared in the 1979 Annual Report of the discredited “Institute for Rewriting Indian History” launched by Purushottam Nagesh Oak commonly referred to as P N Oak. This bigoted persona, an Indian writer, notable for his Hinducentric brand of historical revisionism claimed that Christianity and Islam are both derivatives of Hinduism, or that the Catholic Vatican, Kaaba and the Taj Mahal were once Hindu temples to Shiva. Hence, if Oak had quoted this passage, then it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Furthermore, the passage purported to Sir Winston Churchill has found its way into at least three books, as well as countless media and websites, for example, “Anything multiplied by zero is zero indeed!” by M. R. Venkatesh in Rediff India Abroad (11 April 2007).

Even so, if these are not the words of Sir Winston Churchill, then I beg your pardon. Nevertheless, I stand by whatever I have said in this post.

BRITISH SAD

A spokesperson for the Met Police could also not confirm reports of people being stripped in Deptford, south London. Elsewhere, a shocking video showed an unnamed teenager being apparently assisted by kind-hearted passers-by after being spotted injured and bleeding on the ground. But seconds after the vulnerable boy is helped up, callous looters instead start rifling through his rucksack. With over a dozen thugs standing nearby, the teenager tries to stop the bleeding from his head as thieves continue the daylight robbery. A man who is clearly seen picking items from the teenager's bag then wanders off with his loot, before carelessly discarding the items on the floor.

The image appeared on Twitter as internet rumours claimed that, on top of widespread violence and looting across London, thugs were even removing clothing from  their victims.

Several people on Twitter claimed there have been incidents of victims being stripped naked in Deptford, South London and Birmingham but, because of the very nature of the alleged incidents, the reports remain unsubstantiated.
