Where has your money gone?

The latest report written in the 'Daily Telegraph' the money Britain gives in Overseas Aid (as below). The Minister for Overseas Aid was also heard on the BBC World News programme with his report of the Foreign Aid Programme Britain’s donations. It came after the report of the UK Budget. A follow up was the sacking of 2,000 experienced long term servicemen, *One Sgt Major was actually serving on the front line in Afghanistan when he was informed he was going to be sacked. The government state the MOD cannot afford to keep them. Pilots were shelved near the completion of the course they only had two weeks left to finish. Fighter planes are being scrapped, as are essential RN Ships.

The Defence budget has had a 30% reduction cut while British Forces in Afghanistan are in desperate need for safety vehicles and essential equipment the government say they cannot provide because of lack of funds.  The Overseas Aid and the Welfare costs the UK pay out should have been the first reduction in finance, and cut drastically to make sure the money is available towards the safety of our troops which should be paramount. The government should stop the money given to the Imams (have never worked in 19 years and get over 2,000 pounds a month to support the kids he knocks out with three wives), also his other social security dissident parasites who have no intention of ever working, they should be kicked out with the riff raff and millions of other scroungers Blairs 'New Labour mob let in.

They should immediately, bring in National Service to get the millions of UK's bone idle youths of their arses. And get out of the EU that is also robbing the British public blind, while Germany and France reap all the benefits. and live in luxury. The British government should wake up from their own self indulgence and make sure Britain do not donate anymore more funds to the EU and shelf the inane laws and legislation they think up and bring into force from week to week, absolutely ridiculous laws that affect British citizens, thought up by a mob of overpaid pigs in the trough foreigners who now run Britain, which is now known as the "European Nanny Welfare State." 

Also unbelievable the billions of dollars India and Pakistan spend on cricket while Britain subsidise their starving millions living in abject poverty and squalor on their streets. Also note the money Pakistan are spending on Defence. We thought the Australian government were wasting our tax payer’s money. According to the UK list of benefactors the countries involved receive aid from both OZ and the UK. A serious case of double dipping while our own pensioners, hospitals and clinics close, and essential services suffer because both governments say they do not have the funds.   Bloody farcical!!!

And I was under the false impression that UK was broke and owes the IMF some £650bn + (unless you know different) how wrong you can be.

 Just in case you missed the figures for the UK Overseas Aid Budget for 2011/2012, here are the details

Courtesy of the Daily Telegraph:-

In £ Millions:-

Ethiopia                                  290

India                                        280

Pakistan                                 267

Bangladesh                            200

Nigeria                                    180

Sudan                                     140

Don't Forget Portugal         ???

Don`t Forget Spain             ???

On top of this there is a suggestion of a £100 M for Zimbabwe.

You will be aware that statements had been made to exempt India from the Aid Budget, but that country still appears in the listings.

The previous 4 years for Pakistan Education was £250M, the next 4 years could be £650M.You may also be aware that Pakistan is currently negotiating with China for a £1Billion purchase of submarines, and a £1Billion purchase of Fighter Planes.   All make sense?  

 If you had the misfortune to listen to the Minister for Overseas Aid on the radio a few weeks ago, you may remember that the oration was noticeable for his level of conceit and arrogance, not what is needed to get his message accepted by the British Public.

 In “The Big Society” the giving of Overseas Aid could be devolved from Government and left to people to subscribe to Charities.  If the Government has “hidden agendas” concerning National Security, or Anti-terrorism, then in their much vaunted “transparency” they should make those facts known.

They have taken part in all wars, both great and small, waged by the British colonialists on land and sea, and they have appeared in the role of “imperial police” against the peoples of colonial and dependent countries.

          The Marines have a special position in the structure of the British armed forces.

          An article in the English magazine Soldier stated it is their duty to carry out exceptionally dangerous and difficult tasks in the rear of the enemy or in any other sort of country and to conduct  punitive measures against colonial peoples.

          The British Marines recruit their men by signing on the most adventurously inclined of the countries youth, amongst them being elements from the criminal underworld. For the selection of candidates, the basic requirement for future Marines is that they shall be mentally attuned to a spirit of Imperial ideology of brigandage and violence and that they shall have that special stamp of character which knows neither pity or leniency.

          The training of these punitive troops is carried out in several stages. At Deal, recruits go through a course of basic military and ideological training for three months. Here they are taught Corps History

          From here they go for three months to the training centre at Lympstone where particular stress is laid upon training for punitive expeditions and developing and anti-Soviet and anti communist spirit. Marines learn the tactics required to disperse demonstrations by workers and for fighting against partisans in varying types of terrain.

          After that the Marines go to 42 Commando for two months where side by side with general military training, they also specialise in carrying out small diversionary raids, the duties of sabotage parties and how to deal with precipitous coasts and turbulent rivers.

          From this Commando Marines then go aboard warships where they get to know about service afloat together with the duties of naval police, which they undertake aboard ships.

          All this training is concluded with two weeks courses in the final selection takes place. From here the Marines can either join ships detachments or go to 3 Commando Brigade or to landing detachments of the fleet or finally to a so called special services unit.

          Those who go to sea are part of the ships company and form “a crew within a crew”. According to the magazine The Navy, each Aircraft Carrier has a detachment of 90 marine which carries out the police functions over the rest of the ships company. It is not by chance that in English literature, the Marines are called “The obedient armament against disobedient seamen”. They watch for misconduct amongst the ship’s company, carry out political screening of sailors and guard particularly important positions in the ship like the magazines, the navigation section of the ship and so on. When this or any other ship takes part in the suppression of the national liberation movement of a country, the Marines quickly land to quell the disturbance with armed force.

          Thus, in the post war years, British Marines have made short work of the workers of Hong Kong, British Honduras, Malaya, and other countries.

          3 Commando Brigade, consists of a staff and three commandos, two of which are regular and the other a training unit. The Brigade took part in the aggressive war against the Korean Peoples Democratic Republic and it played a dominant part in the recent aggressive venture against Egypt. The Marines of 45 Commando from this Brigade were amongst the first to land in Port Said by helicopters from British Aircraft Carriers.

          Special amphibious units of Marines are to be found in the Home Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the British flotillas on the Rhine and Elbe. They have at their disposal, special amphibious equipment for disembarking diversionary groups.

          Marines who are sent to a special service unit for diversionary duties against ships in port or for carrying out powerful blows in the rear of the enemy are subjected to a particularly thorough selection.

         They are also for destroying Radar posts, communications and so on. How boastfully the magazine Soldier has recorded “that small groups of carefully selected saboteurs from these units would be able to find a way in to place an atomic bomb in one of the enemy’s bases before the outbreak of war”. “In time of war, this magazine goes on to say, “these selected bands of spies and saboteurs must carry out ‘holding raids’ on isolated populated areas and spread fear among the population.

        All the personnel in this unit carry out diving training, the purpose of which is well known as was shown by the affair in Portsmouth Harbour when, in April last year “the human amphibian”, Commander Crabb, attempted to investigate the bottoms of Soviet ships which were in England on a visit of friendship .

           The magazine The Navy points out that the Marines of the Special Service Unit must also be efficient parachutists and they must be able to operate small inflatable boats and they must know all about demolitions.

          The Marines are by far the most reactionary part of Britain’s armed forces. English imperialists have turned Marines into professional murderers and sadists who are ready to commit any kind of bloody crime.

          In Port Said, the Marines of 45 Commando were slaughtering peaceful people, not even sparing old men, women and children. They burnt down their houses, looted their property and defiled national monuments. Even before their actual landing they were shooting up the people in the streets with sten and machine guns from low flying helicopters. In the words of the Swedish photographic correspondent – Anderson- who visited Port Said – I saw the bodies of women and children with bullet wounds in the back. The occupying forces had shot them as they ran for cover.

          What more can I say. It is impossible to put it into words. But my photographs – of a father bending over the body of his small daughter and her wounded mother, hugging the dead child to himself – these are documents which will never be forgotten.

          Such is the evidence left in Port Said by murderers dressed as Marines. They have now been revealed to the world in their true colours – ravishers and savages. The former First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Hailsham, had the face to declare that the Marines had carried out their task in Egypt with “consummate skill and complete devotion to duty”.

          Such are the British Marines –The Police of the British Imperialists.

I'm tired of being told how bad  America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities  America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of  Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press ofChina , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.  

I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.   

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia  to teach love and tolerance. 

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a  three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.
 
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.   

I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?  Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?  And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need. 

Yes, UK Did Release Terrorist for Oil

Gordon Brown’s government made the decision after discussions between Libya and BP over a multi-million-pound oil exploration deal had hit difficulties. These were resolved soon afterwards.

The letters were sent two years ago by Jack Straw, the justice secretary, to Kenny MacAskill, his counterpart in Scotland, who has been widely criticised for taking the formal decision to permit Megrahi’s release.

The correspondence makes it plain that the key decision to include Megrahi in a deal with Libya to allow prisoners to return home was, in fact, taken in London for British national interests.

Edward Davey, the Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, said: “This is the strongest evidence yet that the British government has been involved for a long time in talks over al-Megrahi in which commercial considerations have been central to their thinking.”

Two letters dated five months apart show that Straw initially intended to exclude Megrahi from a prisoner transfer agreement...

Straw then switched his position as Libya used its deal with BP as a bargaining chip to insist the Lockerbie bomber was included.

The exploration deal for oil and gas, potentially worth up to £15 billion, was announced in May 2007. Six months later the agreement was still waiting to be ratified.

In a letter leaked by a Whitehall source, he wrote: “I had previously accepted the importance of the al-Megrahi issue to Scotland and said I would try to get an exclusion for him on the face of the agreement. I have not been able to secure an explicit exclusion.

“The wider negotiations with the Libyans are reaching a critical stage and, in view of the overwhelming interests for the United Kingdom, I have agreed that in this instance the [prisoner transfer agreement] should be in the standard form and not mention any individual.”

Within six weeks of the government climbdown, Libya had ratified the BP deal

Libya alleges terrorist release was for oil deals

Gaddafi's son Seif al-Islam raises the hand of the terrorist in a victory salute.

Meeting Abdel Basset al-Megrahi and his family late on Friday, Gaddafi thanked British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Queen Elizabeth for "encouraging" Scotland to release the dying prisoner from a Scottish jail, Libyan news agency JANA reported.

After receiving a warm embrace from Gaddafi, Megrahi bent forward and kissed the leader's hand, TV images showed.

"This step is in the interest of relations between the two countries ... and of the personal friendship between me and them and will be positively reflected for sure in all areas of cooperation between the two countries," the Libyan leader said.

Earlier, Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam told Megrahi that in negotiations with Britain, he had personally made Megrahi's freedom a condition of potential energy trade deals.

"In all British interests regarding Libya, I always put you on the table," Gaddafi's son's newspaper quoted him as saying.

Britain flatly denied the release was in any way linked to business deals with Libya, which has Africa's largest proven oil reserves. Britain said all responsibility for his release rested with Scotland, which runs its own judicial affairs.

"There is no deal -- all decisions relating to Megrahi's case have been exclusively for Scottish ministers, the Crown Office in Scotland and the Scottish judicial authorities," a spokesman for the Foreign Office said.

"No deal has been made between the UK government and Libya in relation to Megrahi and any commercial interests."

Scotland's government on Thursday released Megrahi from a life sentence for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in Scotland because he has terminal prostate cancer. The attack killed 270 people, most of them Americans.

"At this hour, I want to send a message to our friends in Scotland, the Scottish National Party and the first minister of Scotland, to congratulate them for their bravery," JANA quoted Gaddafi as saying.

"Despite the unacceptable and illogical pressures against them, they took this humanitarian and brave decision."

More than 1,000 young Libyans gathered at an airport in Tripoli on Thursday to welcome Megrahi home, cheering and waving national flags. The images angered Washington and London.

Megrahi promised in an interview with Britain's Times newspaper published on Saturday that he would present new evidence before he died exonerating him of the bombing.

He dismissed the international furore over his release, saying U.S. President Barack Obama should know he would not be doing anything apart from going to hospital and waiting to die. Doctors say he may have less than three months to live.

"My message to the British and Scottish communities is that I will put out the evidence and ask them to be the jury," Megrahi, sentenced in 2001, said without elaborating.

"God knows I'm a very ill person," said Megrahi. "The only place I have to go is the hospital for medical treatment. I'm not interested in going anywhere else. Don't worry, Mr Obama - it's just three months ."

Relatives of many of the Americans who died in the Lockerbie attack have voiced disgust at Megrahi's release and his reception back in Tripoli.

Gaddafi likened the shock of the Lockerbie relatives to that felt by Libyans in 2007 when Bulgarian medics, condemned to death for infecting Libyan children with HIV, were sent back to Bulgaria to serve life terms there, but immediately released.

Libya handed the nurses over to Bulgaria under heavy pressure from the West, advancing the long-isolated north African country's efforts to emerge from diplomatic isolation.

"Is it that we don't have feelings and they have?" Gaddafi was quoted by JANA as saying.

"The world was shocked and surprised that the condemned team were released before they descended from their plane at the airport in Bulgaria," he said. "They received them as heroes."

"Now that Abdel Basset al-Megrahi has been released from prison, illogical voices have been heard saying this is against the feelings of Lockerbie victims' families."

European governments including Britain's are lobbying hard for business in Libya as it emerges from years of sanctions. Oil companies such as BP and Shell are among several British firms hoping to make big profits in the desert country.

Terrafugia Transition 'flying car' gets go-ahead from US air authorities

One cleric claims simply pumping and having the men drink the milk is enough to create this familial bond.  Another, however, does say that "men should suckle the breast milk directly from a woman's breast."

The logic behind the edict is an apparently common practice known as "breast milk siblings" where according to the article, if you provide 5 "fulfilling" breastmilk meals to a male child before the age of two, you and your female family members will not have to cover your faces in front of him later in life, something that is apparently common among nieces and nephews.

But, when translated into somehow trying to provide this connection to an adult, and use it as a loophole in order to allow women to be in the presence of men who are not blood relations, a lot of obvious problems jump to mind.  The first, of course, is the assumption that every woman is lactating, when in fact the only candidates for this process would be married mothers with children under the age of two, the traditional cutoff point for breastfeeding in that country.  Women aren't just wandering around with milk in their breasts all of the time, married or not, mothers or not. This would provide no outlet for any unmarried woman, who tend to suffer the most under these strict guardianship laws, nor for widows or the elderly.

The second problem is what is meant by "fulfilling" meals.  A grown adult obviously would take much more to be "fulfilled" than an infant, or even a toddler, whose stomachs are smaller than an apple.

Third, even with this loophole available, clerics have decreed that it cannot be used with a driver.  As women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to have driver's licenses, no woman would be able to go anywhere outside walking distance without having a man drive her.  If this breastfeeding loophole can't be used with someone who can drive them from place to place, they are still essentially trapped without a family member to accompany them, regardless.

Breastfeeding adult males in order to be allowed to be with someone of the opposite sex who is not a family member is no real solution to the issues of Sharia law.  In fact, it actually exacerbates them, as it simply reinforces the idea that a woman sole purpose in existence is to extend and tend to the family unit.  Women in the country deserve real freedom, not that which is only granted to them if they act as the "sustenance" of the family.
