The Gurkha's who for hundreds of years have taken up arms for this land, helped us in both World Wars, The Falklands, Afghanistan, Iraq and other wars want the right to settle here in the UK.
New Labour fought this every inch of the way, lies were told by the unelected PM Gordon Brown and his ministers as to the cost should they be allowed to stay.
Thankfully the vote was successful for the Gurkha's, but lots of MP's opposed the view of the majority of the UK people and followed the party line in attempted to keep these brave men out of the UK.
Other MP's followed the cowards line in not voting, showing their contempt for these men by secretly agreeing with unelected Gordon Brown and the Labour filth.
See how your MP voted and if they were not present to vote or voted against these brave men then remember that fact; remember to vote out those self serving amoral scum on election day:
My local MP the Rt Hon. Paul Flynn MP, is an expenses fiddler who claimed £10,000 pounds in legal defence costs off the taxpayer for a libel case he lost, a libel case he could have avoided in the first place.
He has stolen on expenses a cool £7,052 for new kitchen, as well as work back in 2006 on his kitchen coming to £1580. He has also stolen from the taxpayers £1,153 on carpets and £1,200 decoration for his London property in 2005.
He also claimed £9,629 in stamp duty and fees, yet more money off of you and me.
Then we have £1000 deposit on kitchen equipment, and back in 2006 he charged the taxpayers £1201.90 on decorating his humble abode.
Plus he has claimed back mortgage interest as well, nice work if you can get it.
He also doesn't like paying his bills, he gets you to pay them instead: water, electricity, council Tax and even his television license all paid for by you.
Other perks include: £1745 on a sofa and a chair. £189 on a bathroom cabinet.
One ravel small sofa bed beige, costing £750 quid and a vanilla pluto chair costing £995 quid.
Then we have one tv table £150, one side table £90, a dining table & four chairs both £150 quid.
One leather look manager chair coming to £64.98. Oh and £424 on a bed.
His legal expenses can be seen here and his additional cost allowance found here.
Paul Flynn has also "flipped" his home as this spreadsheet
shows. Flipping a home does not imply wrongdoing, but often the MP's use the power to bill the taxpayer for furnishing more than one property.
Newport deserves better than Paul Flynn.
Gordonomics: the true cost.
Gordonomics is the economic theory behind New Labour, that has resulted in an over complicated tax structure that costs billions to administer.
A system that pours money taken in taxes from the private sector to fund a bloated public sector that produces not a penny.
A system that has left us the last G7 nation still in recession. Led by a PM who has broken his own golden rules on borrowing, leading to a national debt rising at over £6000 pounds a second.
Using government figures we will all owe £1.1 trillion by 2010. As of March 2009 the debt was £796 billions or 55.5% of our gross domestic product.
Thanks to Gordonomics we all owe £13,678 and rising. The interest on Gordon's spending will cost us over £42 billion a year, and to pay for it all Gordon plans is more tax rises.
If a company ran its books in that manner it would either remove the chairman and put matters right, something we can not do until election time or would be declared bankrupt.
See here for more details on the UK's debt bombshell.
Gordon the man who had the plan of clearing the UK's overdraft by sticking all on the nations credit card, an any day now the shaven headed bailiffs will knocking on the nations door; all thanks to this window licking hoon.
Even the head of the US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke said that the UK was ill-prepared to deal with the crisis in the wake of decisions made by Mr Brown when he was chancellor.
Remember the police are no longer there to help you, they are there to get targets for arrests and will arrest you under any pretext, if given the slightest chance to do so.
MUSLIM supermarket checkout staff who refuse to sell alcohol are being allowed to opt out of handling customers’ bottles and cans of drink.
Islamic workers at Sainsbury’s who object to alcohol on religious grounds are told to raise their hands when encountering any drink at their till so that a colleague can temporarily take their place or scan items for them.
Other staff have refused to work stacking shelves with wine, beer and spirits and have been found alternative roles in the company.
**I think that what they will find is that their faith says that they are not to drink, by handling bottles/cans they are not actually breaking any religious ruling.
Sainsbury’s said this weekend it was keen to accommodate the religious beliefs of all staff but some Islamic scholars condemned the practice, saying Muslims who refused to sell alcohol were reneging on their agreements with the store.
Islam states that Muslims should not consume alcohol, but opinion is divided on whether it is permissible to be involved in the sale of it.
Mustapha, a Muslim checkout worker at the company’s store in Swiss Cottage, northwest London, interrupts his work to ensure that he does not have to sell or handle alcohol.
Each time a bottle or can of alcohol comes along the conveyor belt in front of him, Mustapha either swaps places discreetly with a neighbouring attendant or raises his hand so that another member of staff can come over and pass the offending items in front of the scanner before he resumes work.
Some of the staff delegated to handle the drink for Mustapha are themselves obviously Muslim, including women in hijab head coverings. However, a staff member at the store told a reporter that two other employees had asked to be given alternative duties after objecting to stacking drinks shelves.
Mustapha told one customer: “I can’t sell the alcohol because of my religion. It is Ramadan at the moment.”
His customers did not appear to have any objection to his polite refusal to work with alcohol. One said: “I have no issues with it at all, it really doesn’t bother me.”
However, some senior Muslims were less approving.
Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, director of the Muslim Institute and leader of the Muslim parliament, said: “This is some kind of overenthusiasm. One expects professional behaviour from people working in a professional capacity and this shows a lack of maturity.
**Could not have put it better myself.
“Sainsbury’s is being very good, they are trying to accommodate the wishes of their employees and we commend that. The fault lies with the employee who is exploiting and misusing their goodwill. It makes no difference if it is only happening over Ramadan.”
Ibrahim Mogra, chairman of the inter-faith committee of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), said: “Muslim employees should look at the allowances within Muslim law to enable them to be better operating employees and not be seen as rather difficult to cater for.”
A spokeswoman for Sainsbury’s, confirming Mustapha’s stance, said: “At the application stage we ask the relevant questions regarding any issues about handling different products and where we can we will try and accommodate any requirements people have, but it depends on the needs of the particular store.”
**If I ever came across this in a store I would leave my shopping at the checkout and walk out, thus costing Sainsbury's or whatever store this happened in the time and cost of paying a member of staff to put back all the items I was going to purchase.
If Sainsburys wish to be dhimmi's then fine that is their problem, but when even moslem leaders state that they are not following the teachings of a religion and acting immature and of exploiting their employers then I think it is time for P45's to be issued...Inshalla
Now we know what unelected PM Brown meant when he said that he was going to be listening...
Officials from the top of Government to lowly council officers will be given unprecedented powers to access details of every phone call in Britain under laws coming into force tomorrow.
The new rules compel phone companies to retain information, however private, about all landline and mobile calls, and make them available to some 795 public bodies and quangos.
The move, enacted by the personal decree of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, will give police and security services a right they have long demanded: to delve at will into the phone records of British citizens and businesses.But the same powers will also be handed to the tax authorities, 475 local councils, and a host of other organisations, including the Food Standards Agency, the Department of Health, the Immigration Service, the Gaming Board and the Charity Commission. The initiative, formulated in the wake of the Madrid and London terrorist attacks
of 2004 and 2005, was put forward as a vital tool in the fight against terrorism. However, civil liberties campaigners say the new powers amount to a 'free for all' for the State snooping on its citizens.
And they angrily questioned why the records were being made available to so many organisations. Similar provisions are being brought in across Europe, but under much tighter regulation. In Britain, say critics, private and sensitive information will inevitably fall into the wrong hands.
Records will detail precisely what calls are made, their time and duration, and the name and address of the registered user of the phone.
The files will even reveal where people are when they made mobile phone calls. By knowing which mast transmitted the signal, officials will be able to pinpoint the source of a call to within a few feet. This can even be used to track someone's route if, for example, they make a call from a moving car.
Files will also be kept on the sending and receipt of text messages.
By 2009 the Government plans to extend the rules to cover internet use: the websites we have visited, the people we have emailed and phone calls made over the net. The new laws will make it a legal requirement for phone companies to keep records for at least a year, and to make them available to the authorities. Until now, companies have been reluctant to allow unfettered access to their files, citing data protection laws, although they have had a voluntary arrangement with law enforcement agencies since 2003.
Many of the organisations granted access to the records already have systems allowing them to search phone-call databases over a computer link without needing staff at the phone company to intervene.
Police requests for phone records will need the approval of a superintendent or inspector, while council officials must get permission from the authority's assistant chief officer.Thousands of staff in other agencies will be legally entitled to retrieve the records once the request is approved by a senior official.
The new measures were implemented after the Home Secretary signed a 'statutory instrument' on July 26. The process allows the Government to alter laws without a full act of Parliament.
**So what were our overpaid, indolent MP's doing whilst the fascist scum of New Liebour pushed through this bill? Not a lot by the look of things. Same applies to the House of Lords, seems that most of the members of that house were busy in the bar whilst our freedoms were being removed. Shame on them all.
The move was nodded through the House of Lords two days earlier without a debate.
It puts into UK law a European Directive aimed at the 'investigation, detection and prosecution of serious crime'. But the British law allows the information to be used much more widely to combat all crimes, however minor.
The huge number of organisations allowed to access this data was attacked by Liberty, the civil liberties campaign group. Other organisations allowed to see the data include the Royal Navy Regulating Branch, the Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary, the Department of Trade and Industry, NHS Trusts, ambulance and fire services, the Department of Transport and the Department for the Environment.
A spokesman for Liberty said: 'Hundreds of bodies have been given the power to look at this highly sensitive information. It is yet another example of how greater and greater access is being given to information on our movements with little debate and little public accountability.
'It is a free for all. There is a lack of oversight of how and why public bodies are using these records. There is no public record of what they are using this information for.'
Tony Bunyan, of civil liberties group Statewatch, said: 'The retention of everyone's communications data is a momentous decision, one that should not be slipped through Parliament without anyone noticing.'
Last year, the voluntary arrangement allowed 439,000 searches of phone records. But the Government brought in legislation because the industry did not routinely keep all the information it wanted.
Different authorities will have different levels of access to the systems. Police and intelligence services will be able to see more detailed information than local authorities. And officials at NHS Trusts and ambulance and fire services can obtain the records only in rare cases when, for example, they are trying to save a patient's life.
The new system will be overseen by the Interception of Communications Commissioner, who also ensures security and intelligence services' phone taps are legal.(and if you believe that the o doubt you will vote Labour and believe that pigs are capable of flight...)
The commissioner, Sir Paul Kennedy, reports to the Prime Minister and already carries out random inspections of some agencies legally allowed to see phone records under the existing voluntary scheme. Last year inspectors visited 22 councils already making 'significant' use of their powers' to access phone records. A report said the results were 'variable', but within the law.
Privacy watchdog the Information Commissioner, which has responsibly for protecting personal information and policing the Data Protection Act had virtually no role in the new laws.
A spokeswoman said its only function was to ensure 'data security' at the phone companies, adding: 'We have no oversight role over the release of this information.'
The Home Office said there were safeguards to ensure the new law was being used properly. Every authority had a nominated senior member of staff who was legally responsible for the use the phone data was put to, 'the integrity of the process' and for 'reporting errors'.
A spokesman said: 'The most detailed level of data can be accessed only by law enforcement agencies such as the police. More basic access is available to local authority bodies such as trading standards and environmental health who can only use these powers to prevent and detect crime.'
A spokesman for the Local Government Association, which represents councils across England and Wales, said: 'Councils would only use these powers in circumstances such as benefit fraud, when the taxpayer is being ripped off for many thousands of pounds.'
He added that it was 'very unlikely' the powers would be used against non-payers of council tax or for parking fines 'as the sums involved are not sufficient to justify the use of this sort of information or the costs involved in applying it'.(But and this is the important point, they do not rule out that at some point they will be using that information to track down coucil tax defaulters or people who owe parking fines. In short they can now snoop at will.)

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – A group of European lawmakers has thrown its support behind a campaign calling on EU capitals to grant asylum to 45 men wrongly-imprisoned(like the Tipton Taliban who although released thanks to the cowardice of New Liebour were guilty as hell) in the US military base in Guantanamo, Cuba.
"Innocent civilians continue to languish in Guantanamo despite being cleared for release...EU governments should step in and offer this group of persecuted individuals some hope", Dutch green MEP Kathalijne Buitenweg told EUobserver on Wednesday (26 September).
**They languish there because they have refused to leave and go back to their home nations, claiming that they might be tortured and knowing that soft wester nations will take them in and give them a David Cameron style hug.
"By not acting the European Union will become responsible for their misery", Ms Buitenweg added. **This so shows the typical attitude of the EU, we have to take them otherwise we are responsible for their problems. Quite why some asian nation is unable to take them the EU doesn't explain?...

Some more lunacy from PC Britain, you read these stories and aside from them being true the saddest point is the utter waste of police time and effort in bringing these cases through the legal system in the first place.
A schoolboy who caused one penny's worth of criminal damage to a plastic bag was dragged through the courts at a cost of £5,000.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named, yesterday pleaded guilty to snatching a carrier bag from a 13-year-old girl and breaking its handles.
Magistrates ordered him to complete six hours' community work after hearing that the incident left the younger pupil too scared to walk to school.
But wait it gets better after dealing with such major crime as carrier bag assault, we see that in the next case that police are catching the criminal element at an early age, and for such serious crimes as being armed in a built up area with a crayon.
GIRL Guide Shannon Smith, 10, was fingerprinted by the police and fined £40 after marking a neighbour’s wall with crayon. The tearful little girl was also threatened with an Asbo.
Last night the fine was withdrawn but Shannon’s mother Helen said: “It is obvious the police didn’t have anything better to do at that time of day – like chasing proper criminals.”
Nice to see that they teach them how to be tough on serious criminals at Hendon. But it gets better, next up the fine boys and gals in blue catch themselves so famous tree climbing criminals.
To the 12-year-old friends planning to build themselves a den, the cherry tree seemed an inviting source of material.
But the afternoon adventure turned into a frightening ordeal for Sam Cannon, Amy Higgins and Katy Smith after they climbed into the 20ft tree - then found themselves hauled into a police station and locked in cells for up to two hours.
Their shoes were removed and mugshots, DNA samples and mouth swabs were taken.
Officers told the children they had been seen damaging the tree which is in a wooded area of public land near their homes.
Questioned by police, the scared friends admitted they had broken some loose branches because they had wanted to build a tree house, but said they did not realise what they had done was wrong.
But not all these are so petty, indeed the rise of the hopscotch criminal is also being tackled in New Labours Cool Britannia.
When Lisa Badland gave her five-year-old son Ryan some coloured chalks to mark out a hopscotch court outside her home, she expected him to have an afternoon of innocent fun.
Little did she imagine that he would end up in trouble with the police.
Yet that is what happened when two policemen, acting on a tip-off from a neighbour, arrived in a quiet cul-de-sac, lined up Ryan and five young friends and told them off for drawing "graffiti".
Remarkably, when the children's parents emerged from their homes to find out what was going on, the constables instructed them not to let their children play in the street or draw on the road or pavement. One mother said that she was also advised that one child was not dressed warmly enough.
Mind at least when arresting these serious criminals the police are not standing about watching children die.
**It used to be that when we joked about the lunatics taking over the asylum, we were normally referring to the politicians, judges, members of the chattering classes, Guardian readers and other members of the out of touch elite. Sadly it seems that the wave of madness has reached the levels of the humble police constable.
The average family hands over 50 per cent more of their annual earnings in tax than they did before Labour came to power a decade ago.
If they move home, they can expect to lose more than half of their annual wages in taxes on income, spending and property, according to research for The Daily Telegraph by the accountants Smith & Williamson.
The soaring tax burden has been driven largely by the number of people falling into the higher stamp duty tax band on property, along with rising council tax and increases in the National Insurance contributions.
Smith & Williamson estimates that the total taxes paid by a typical family with two children, buying an ordinary terrace house, have soared from 36p in the pound to 54p since 1997.
Richard Mannion, the national tax director at Smith & Williamson, said that for higher rate taxpayers in particular, the cost of these tax rises "far outweigh the benefits received through child tax credit and child benefit".
The higher stamp duty thresholds have not changed since they were introduced by Gordon Brown back in 1997, paid at three per cent of the purchase between £250,000 and £500,000, and four per cent above that, while properties under £250,000 are taxed at one per cent.
This has failed to keep pace with soaring house prices.
As the Conservative Party gathers for its conference starting tomorrow, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Philip Hammond, said: "This is more bad news for families struggling to reach the next rung on the property ladder."
A Treasury spokesman said the tax burden on the average family had fallen since 1997.
He said: "This analysis misleadingly claims to represent the average situation, but it is undermined by the carefully-selected assumptions on which it is based."
Britain's former spy chief accused the BBC of "parroting" Al Qaeda propaganda to children as young as six.
Dame Pauline Neville Jones, who is also a former BBC governor, is infuriated at the stance the corporation's Newsround programme took on the September 11 attacks.
She accused the flagship children's news bulletin of feeding an "ugly undercurrent" which suggests the terrorist outrage was somehow justifiable.
Newsround is aimed at viewers aged between six and 12.
On its website it answered the question concerning 9/11, "Why did they do it" by saying: "The way America has got involved in conflicts in regions like the Middle East has made some people very angry, including a group called al Qaeda - who are widely thought to have been behind the attacks."
After the public complained, the text was amended.
It now reads: "Al Qaeda is unhappy with America and other countries getting involved in places like the Middle East.
"People linked to al Qaeda have used violence to make this point in the U.S.A, and in other countries."
Dame Pauline, who headed the Government's Joint Intelligence Committee and is described as the most formidable female diplomat Britain has produced, said the new version was even worse.
"It still says it's all America's fault, and now for daring to be involved in the Middle East at all," she said.
"It wasn't 'people linked to' al Qaeda who killed 3,000 people that day, it was al Qaeda itself.
"Osama bin Laden even boasted of the attacks. Is the BBC really saying that if you're 'unhappy' it's quite normal behaviour to murder people?
"Is the BBC so naive as to take al Qaeda's propaganda at face value? Or is there something more sinister at work here?"
Dame Pauline, who is now a shadow security spokesman, added: "Al Qaeda make the manifestly false claim that America is part of an enormous Jewish-Christian conspiracy to dominate the world and kill Muslims.
"This is no secret - Osama bin Laden has said as much himself.
"We know that in the long run the struggle against terrorists is a battle for hearts and minds.
"How can we expect to win when our national broadcaster is parroting their line to our own children?
"There is only one set of people who are ever to blame for terrorist attacks and that's the perpetrators themselves."
Dame Pauline said the BBC was a "national treasure" and she had been proud to serve as a governor.
"But from time to time I have found myself asking questions about BBC's attitude to terrorism. It even orders its journalists not to use the word terrorist," she added.
"Although almost everyone in Britain quite rightly reacted with horror to the attacks of September 11, there was an ugly undercurrent that blamed America for being attacked.
"Just two days after the attacks the BBC screened an edition of the Question Time programme where they invited an anti-American audience that laid into the American ambassador, leaving him close to tears. In fairness, the BBC apologised for that outrage.
"Even though this was an appalling example of knee-jerk prejudice, at least it was meant for adults.
"I never imagined the rot would spread to the BBC's children's programmes. I was wrong."
Dame Pauline has complained to the BBC's head of journalism Mark Byford, who is understood to have defended the text as "clear and concise".
Sinead Rocks, editor of the Newsround programme, said the first version of the text was several years old and should no longer have been available.
But she defended the new version, insisting it was not an attempt to "justify" the events of September 11.
"We feel it is entirely legitimate to question the motives of the people who carried out the attacks," she said.
"Our contact with our audience has shown that their understanding is helped by events being put into some kind of context.
"We often have to translate complex and emotive issues into language appropriate for children. It's a responsibility we take very seriously." A little tune on the license tax.http://homepage.ntlworld.com/seb.hunt/
**Might be worth to keep asking the bloated, left wing, anti American and anti-semitic BBC when they will (if ever) be releasing the Balen report into anti Israel bias?
In what has to be one of the most disgusting,degraded, stomach turning acts of moral equivalence,the moonbats of that “defender of freedom and human rights” Amnesty International sent a press release , asking us to plead for the lives of the Bali bombers.
**When the men charged with putting down the shits fire bullets into those cunts and sent them them to the ethernal hell they deserve I shall raise a glass and remember the dead the poor bastards who had to put down those sick islamonazi animals.
A stunned silence was heard, followed by a torrent of rage, including at least fifty Australians who would like nothing better than to personally pull the trigger, and send these little monsters to the Hell they so richly deserve.
**I see the asshats from amnesty collecting money should each just try to remember the 200 people butcher by jehadonazi scum, and as the post I linked to quotes...
What about the human rights of the TWO HUNDRED they murdered in cold blood, you fucking quisling?????
Read and weep.
FRIENDS and relatives of Bali bombing victims have rejected calls by Amnesty International for the lives of three Bali bombers to be spared.
The human rights group has called on Australians to write to the Indonesian authorities in a bid to avert the execution of Imam Samudra, Ali Ghufron and Amrozi bin Nurhasyim.
The three could soon face the firing squad after Indonesia's Supreme Court rejected their final appeals.
The three played key roles in the 2002 terrorist attacks on the resort island of Bali, which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
Coogee Dolphins member Eric de Haart lost teammates Clint Thompson and Josh Iliffe in the deadly car bombings in Kuta.
Mr de Haart said he was "gobsmacked" by Amnesty's action.
"I honestly can't believe they would expect anyone who has had anything to do with Bali, or who has been associated with Bali, to support that motion," Mr de Haart told AAP.
"That's just beyond belief."
He said the bombers had laughed at their crimes and shown no remorse.
"There certainly couldn't have been anyone from Amnesty International walking through the morgue like I did, trying to sort through body parts trying to identify my mates.
"If Amnesty International should be going in for anyone it should be going in for the Australians, the Bali Nine or Schapelle Corby, trying to get those ones out of jail.
"Surely they're the ones they should be concentrating on.
"I mean, the Bali Nine have been sentenced to death for carrying drugs.
"These people killed 202 people."
Amnesty International Australia anti-death-penalty coordinator Tim Goodwin said the group was stepping up efforts to lobby Indonesian authorities to put a stay on the executions of the bombers.
He said Amnesty was universally opposed to the death penalty in any case.
But Ray Mavroudis, the cousin of Coogee Dolphins rugby league club member David Mavroudis, 29, who died in the bombings, said he had no sympathy for the convicted bombers.
"We're never going to get our relatives and friends and so forth back, so why should they be around?" Mr Mavroudis said.
He could not understand why the bombers should have their sentences commuted.
"Why, when they've just turned around and done what they've done, knowing full well they were going to kill a certain amount of people?"
The Mavroudis family was still struggling with the loss, he said.
"You remember the people that you lost at this time of year, not the killers.
"They should have already been dealt with."
Family and friends of six Coogee Dolphins players who died in the bombings will mark the fifth anniversary of their deaths with a ceremony at Dolphin Point, Coogee, in Sydney's east on October 12.
**How to reslove terrorism in three easy steps.
1. Rope.
2. Tree.
3. Terrorist.
Some assembly required and then terrorism resolved.
A reader has sent me deeply disturbing evidence of the indoctrination into hatred and lies being perpetrated in at least one of our schools. This is a questionnaire that was distributed to pupils at a large mixed comprehensive school in Britain (the reader has asked me not to identify the school for personal reasons).
The seven questions included litter, racism, refugees, a petition against ‘British attacks on Iraq’, dolphin friendly tuna, racism again and then the last question:
‘You know that Israel’s actions against Palestinian civilians go against international law. Which of the following do you decide?
a) People like us in Britain should stop buying goods made in Israel, to help put pressure on Israel to stop attacking Palestinians (3) b) This conflict has nothing to do with us and there is nothing we can do (1) c) Our government should put pressure on Israel to do what international law says, and cut down its occupation of Palestine (2) d) We need to find out more about the conflict between Israel and Palestine before we say what we do (3)’
The numbers in brackets indicate the score a student would receive for their answer - the higher the better. The week before they had a number of photos they had to group together - one was an Israeli tank and a Palestinian boy that was put under ‘Oppression.’
This travesty is being perpetrated in ‘citizenship’ lessons. The teacher who devised this question clearly is completely ignorant of international law, within which Israel acts, and is merely recycling the ideological equivalent of saloon-bar bigotry that passes for discourse about the Middle East in Britain. Thus the calibre of those entrusted to pass on to the next generation a sense of national identity grounded in the values of this country. Once, these values included truthfulness, integrity and academic rigour. No more. We are now a country where the uninformed are instructed by the bigoted. From the Olympian heights of Britain’s once unsurpassed education system, which produced the fairest, gentlest and most rational society on earth, Britain’s children are now being equipped instead to inhabit Planet Virulence, where ignorance, irrationality and injustice rule.
I warned from the very introduction of these ‘citizenship’ lessons that they would become a vehicle for crude propaganda. So it has proved. The irony is that the government introduced them in the first place because it was so alarmed that British identity and values were being eroded from within in the face of the threat to the nation from without. Now we can see the result. British citizenship includes hatred of Israel by way of the propaganda of one of the Big Lies of history – the very same Big Lie that is fuelling the murderous onslaught on the western world.

Marco has been condemned by the racial equality watchdog after he used the word "pikey" on his ITV show.
The Commission for Racial Equality called on the chef to apologise after he was heard telling celebrity contestants on Hell's Kitchen: "I don't think it was a pikey's picnic tonight."
His use of the derogatory term for travellers and Gipsies led to a row with Lee Ryan, former member of the boy band Blue.
Ryan, 24, said: "I have a lot of friends who are travellers... and I know they don't like being called pikeys." White replied: "What is wrong with being a pikey?"
A spokesman for the CRE said yesterday: "These distasteful comments are highly derogatory and have caused much offence. "These high-profile figures should realise that fame brings responsibility. He (White) ought to acknowledge his mistake and apologise for the offence he has caused. ITV said it had received "a handful" of complaints following Thursday evening's show. A spokesman said the language had been flagged as "controversial" at the start and use of the word pikey was "robustly challenged" during it. "In this context, we feel that the broadcast of the word was responsible and justified," added the spokesman. And the CRE threaten a chap over referring to pikeys as itinerant travellers s part of his election campaign to win a council seat, Carl Lewis started a petition to evict travellers from an illegal caravan park.

Come to think about it no one elected Ceausecsu either, so come on cyclops give us an election.

But first some Australians hunting down Taliscum, the friends of Paul Flynn MP(proven liar, amoral coward and grade a shit who passes himself off as an MP and brings dishonor on the title he holds** More on him at the bottom of this post..) who spits bile and hate at our mission to help the Afghan people. BAGHDAD — A year ago the area to the east of Ramadi was a haven for insurgents who attacked the city. These days much has changed in the surrounding rural lands of the east.
The once violent lands of the east are patrolled and guarded by the Abu-Bali Iraqi Police (IP) and Soldiers from Company A, 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment. Their latest mission was a joint operation, which gathered intelligence and pushed insurgents further from the city of Ramadi and its outlying towns.
“Today, we did routine clearance missions east of Ramadi,” said 1st Lt. Cory Sharbo, a platoon leader with Co. A, 3-69 Armor. “Normally we work alongside the IP, but today we’re only here to supervise.”
Sharbo, 25, from Pittsburgh, Pa., said that the area they patrol is much different than what people at home would normally expect when they think of Iraq.
“Everyone always thinks that it’s all desert,” Sharbo said. “Lots of the Soldiers look at this area we’re in with an almost Vietnam-style terrain with canals, tall grass and sweltering heat.”
During the operation, IPs scoured the surrounding countryside of Abu Waitha and began walking through neighborhoods greeting locals and asking if they needed any assistance. While they were meeting the locals, the IPs asked about terrorist activity in the area.
Sharbo said the mission was important because it served as a show of force for the IPs.
“Since we came into this area, the IP have shown lots of improvement,” he said. “They are more organized, able to do handle the different tasks required of a policeman and now handle detainees real well – they are running the show here.”
Although there is often much work associated with the IP, the Soldiers said, they don’t have much work left in order for the IP to be self-sufficient.
“Part of our duty here, outside of combat operations, is to make sure the IPs are getting paid, they are receiving fuel, and they are receiving equipment,” Sharbo said. “Right now we’re helping supply them, but it’s not a permanent thing. We are still setting them up to sustain themselves and when we leave we’re going to make sure they can support themselves.”
Although the mission failed to turn up any insurgents, the IP and Coalition forces considered their work that evening a success.
“The mission today helped a lot to cement the local support for the police and Coalition force efforts here,” Sharbo said. “The insurgents closed off all the business here and people were prisoners in their own homes. Now people can come and go as they please.”
For the Soldiers working in Abu Bali, serving with the Iraqi Security Forces and seeing the effects of their combined efforts on the people is a good feeling.
“Most of the success here is from the Iraqi Police,” said Spc. Dustin Dunckel, an infantryman with Co. A, 3-69 Armor. “They are from this area, and know the people and the land. By us building up a strong police force here, we’ve established a confidence among the IPs and the people.”
The missions the troops conduct with the Iraqi Security Forces are a far cry from the combat the troops experienced less than six months ago.
“When we first got here there were lots of improvised explosive devices, sniper and mortar fire here,” said the 26-year-old, Lansing, Mich., native. Dunckel added, “Working with the Iraqi Security Forces and patrolling the area has made this place safer now. The groups here are proud and stern Iraqis who I can trust to do their job well.”

Coalition forces capture wanted terrorist, detain six suspects
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces captured a wanted suspected terrorist and detained six other suspects during operations Friday to disrupt al-Qaeda in Iraq operations in the Tigris River Valley.
Coalition forces captured a suspected terrorist in Bayji believed to be associated with al-Qaeda in Iraq and have a significant role in recent attacks in the city. Intelligence led the ground force to his exact location where he identified himself and was captured without incident.
In two precision operations in Tarmiyah and Baghdad, Coalition forces detained three suspected terrorists during raids targeting individuals reported to be key communications links to al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders and their associates in and outside the country. Also in Baghdad, Coalition forces targeted an individual believed to be involved in attacks on Coalition forces in the area. Three suspected terrorists were detained on site.
“We’re steadily chipping away at the al-Qaeda in Iraq network,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. “The disruption to their operations and supply of information hinders al-Qaeda in Iraq’s ability to attack innocent Iraqis.”
Iraqi Army, Coalition Forces partner to detain six Multi-National Division – Center
ZAMBRANIYAH — Iraqi army troops and Paratroopers detained six suspected al-Qaeda insurgents in an early morning air assault.
As paratroopers of Troop B, 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment approached the target area, suspects fled and hid in a canal near known safehouses. Three of the suspects were hiding among the vegetation in the canal.
“At first I was hoping that it wasn’t an ambush,” said 1st Lt. Travis J. Basset, platoon leader for Troop B.
Basset said the AH-64 Apache attack helicopters overhead informed him that the suspects were just hiding, which gave him the confidence to send his Paratroopers after them.
“They were just trying to get away from us, so we decided to just go after them,” Basset said. Having secured the four suspects, paratroopers moved on to the location of the houses they originally targeted.
Once the Iraqi army soldiers completed their search of the houses, Coalition Forces were alerted by the Apache attack helicopters that the other two suspected insurgents were attempting to escape via the same canal.
The Iraqi Army troops and paratroopers quickly moved to the location of the canal and apprehended the other two insurgents.
Sgt. Paul J. Benoit, a scout with 2nd platoon, Troop B, said the paratrooper-scout training he and his platoon provided to the Iraqi Army the week before was beginning to pay off, and he was glad to see them begin to do their part.
The 1-40th Cav. Regt. is operationally assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team 3rd Infantry Division, from the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained 21 suspected terrorists during operations Wednesday and Thursday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq members in central and northern Iraq.
Coalition forces captured seven suspected terrorists Thursday during an operation south of Samarra, including an alleged foreign terrorist facilitator operating in the Salah ad Din province who identified himself to the ground force. During the operation, one armed individual was wounded while attempting to evade capture. He was treated on site and transported to a military medical facility for further treatment.
In an operation in Bayji, Coalition forces captured a suspected associate to al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders believed to facilitate meetings in the Tigris River Valley. Based on credible intelligence, the suspect is also believed to be responsible for attacks on Iraqi security forces in the region. In addition to the targeted individual, four suspected terrorists were detained on site.
Near Baghdad, Coalition forces targeted a suspect believed to be responsible for the movement of an al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader involved in foreign terrorist facilitation and supply for the Baghdad car-bombing network. Four suspected terrorists were detained during the operation. Coalition forces also detained five suspected terrorists Wednesday in a precision operation west of Tarmiyah targeting an associate of the al-Qaeda in Iraq foreign terrorist network.
"We're continuing to relentlessly pursue al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorists who facilitate and conduct attacks against the Iraqi people and the security forces that protect them," said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman.
Coalition forces capture suspected Special Groups members
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces killed one terrorist and detained two suspected Iraqi Special Groups members during an operation in northern Baghdad early Thursday.
Credible intelligence led Coalition forces to an individual suspected of weapons facilitation throughout central Iraq. The suspect is believed to have direct communication with senior Special Groups members as well as ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Corps – Quds Force.
During the operation, Coalition forces discovered a suspected terrorist making threatening movements on top of a building. After repeated attempts to direct the man to discontinue his actions, the individual did not comply. Perceiving a hostile threat, the ground force engaged the terrorist, killing him. Two suspected terrorists were detained on site.
"We will continue to target any group with followers who commit hostile actions and oppose security and stability in Iraq," said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. "Each time we capture one of these criminals, it brings us one step closer to a secure future for Iraq."

Rashid citizens march in support of security volunteers
Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD — Multi-National Division - Baghdad Soldiers observed a peaceful demonstration in support of Iraqi Security Volunteers in the West Rashid District of the Iraqi capital Sept. 26.
The demonstrators, who numbered approximately between 600 to 1000 people, marched through the streets of Saydiyah during the morning hours in a show of approval for the ongoing reconciliation efforts of an area that has been a source of sectarian friction in recent weeks.
Troops from Company C, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment “Vanguards” observed the event and made sure that the people in attendance were allowed to express their position without significant incident.
“A peaceful demonstration on the streets of Saydiyah is one of the most powerful symbols of a growing democracy there is,” said Col. Ricky D. Gibbs, commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.

Iraqi Security Forces, U.S. Special Forces detain 12 suspected insurgents during four separate raids Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO
BAGHDAD – In four separate early-morning raids Sept. 24, Iraqi Security Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained twelve suspected insurgents.
During one operation, Iraqi Security Forces conducted a security raid that resulted in the capture of an al-Qaeda in Iraq key leader and four suspected operatives near Tal ‘Afar. While clearing a row of homes in the village of Shaykh Ibrahim, the assault force received small-arms fire from one of the insurgents. The team responded with well-aimed suppressive fire and detained the armed terrorists. The targeted individual is believed to be an international financier with connections to several high-level al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders.
In a separate operation, Iraqi Special Operations Forces detained a suspected extremist cell leader and four cell members in Baghdad. The cell is responsible for improvised explosive device and mortar attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces in the Baghdad area.
The detained extremist cell leader in Al Baya’a and has allegedly participated in multiple IED attacks resulting in several U.S. Army tactical vehicles destroyed. The group is further linked to more than 10 Katyusha rocket attacks against the International Zone area of Baghdad July 13, 14 and 19. In addition, the group is known for conducting extra judicial killings of Sunni citizens, installing illegal checkpoints and murdering five Sunnis in August.
During the operation, the assault force received small-arms fire. The forces responded with well-aimed and proportional fire and continued on the mission. There were no casualties resulting from this exchange of fire.
In a later raid, members of the 6th Iraqi Army Scouts detained a suspected extremist special group commander in Baghdad who is thought to be responsible for conducting explosively formed penetrator, mortar and IED attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces in Kamaliya and Sadr City.
The group he leads is suspected of conducting extra judicial killings of Sunni citizens, to include a March 22 IED attack and a Dec. 4, 2006 mortar attack against a Coalition installation in Baladiyat.
Another suspected extremist special group cell leader, suspected of establishing an assassination cell and killing an Iraqi Army officer, was detained in Ad Diwaniyah by members of the 8th Iraqi Army Scouts. He is additionally suspected of distributing large weapons caches of EFPs and IEDs to other insurgent cells within Ad Diwaniyah.
No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured during these operations.
WASHINGTON - U.S.-led forces have killed one of the most important leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq, a Tunisian believed connected to the kidnapping and killings last summer of American soldiers, a top commander said Friday.
Brig. Gen. Joseph Anderson said the death of the suspected terrorist in a U.S. airstrike Tuesday south of Baghdad, and recent similar operations against al-Qaida, have left the organization in Iraq fractured. “Abu Usama al-Tunisi was one of the most senior leaders ... the emir of foreign terrorists in Iraq and part of the inner leadership circle,” Anderson said.
Al-Tunisi was a leader in helping bring foreign terrorists into the country and his death “is a key loss” to al-Qaida leadership there, Anderson told a Pentagon news conference. “He operated in Yusufiyah, southwest of Baghdad, since the second battle of Fallujah in November ‘04 and became the overall emir of Yusufiyah in the summer of ‘06,” Anderson said in a videoconference from Baghdad. “His group was responsible for kidnapping our American soldiers in June 2006,” Anderson said.
