If you think the Kohinoor is the only gem stolen by the Brits, think again. Here is an article I wrote somewhere else. 8)

Again I am sorry I cannot attach pictures on BRF that went with the article.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


THE CAWNPORE(KANPUR) SAPPHIRE


The Kanpur Sapphire is really a misnomer. It is actually a purple Amethyst gem also called the Gem of Sorrow. It usually goes by the name of the Delhi Sapphire.
The story of this remarkable gem begins during the tumultuous times of the 1857 revolution when Kanpur was first fortified by a force lead by Nana Rao Peshwa and then later the British sent a column to besiege the city and also recapture neighboring Lucknow. The fallout from these events was a terrible retribution on the local population by the subjugating British force where justice was swift, imperfect and summarily performed. Looting, pillaging and marauding by the occupying army of AHS Neill was commonplace. Sadly a road in Kanpur still is named after this despicable marauder.
During these turbulent times a British Colonel of the Bengal Cavalry, Col. W. Ferris, entered a temple in Kanpur and stole this gem from the jewel encrusted murti/idol of the resident deity of the temple. The gem does not necessarily bring death but untold misery and sorrow to whoever has possessed it.
As soon as he returned to England, Ferris began to suffer a series of financial misfortunes which brought the family to the brink of collapse. At first Ferris blamed his own poor judgement, but when every member of the family also suffered a series of debilitating illnesses, his thoughts turned to the gem. His fears were confirmed when he lent the stone to a friend of the family who inexplicably committed suicide.
The stone was next given to Edward Heron-Allen a scientist and a rationalist in 1890. Soon after, Heron-Allen abandoned all reason and a number of unfortunate accidents and misfortunes occurred to him and his family. In 1902, Heron-Allen lent the stone to his friend who started to encounter failures in his life and returned the stone to Heron-Allen. The misfortunes for Heron-Allen started again. In desperation, Heron-Allen threw the stone into the Regent's canal. Soon after the canal was dredged and the stone was found and taken to a local jeweler.
The jeweler immediately recognized the stone as the one he had mounted on a ring for Heron-Allen. Believing that he was performing a kindness, he returned the ring. When much later, a friend asked to borrow the jewel, Heron-Allen once again lent it out. This time the unfortunate recipient was a professional singer who never sang again after wearing the cursed gem. Exasperated, Heron-Allen packed the Delhi Sapphire into seven boxes filled with charms. He then deposited it in the safe of his bank with instructions for it not to be opened until after his death.
Heron-Allen warned that the Delhi Purple sapphire is "accursed and is stained with the blood, and the dishonor of everyone who has ever owned it." Wary of its alleged powers, he kept it locked away in seven boxes and surrounded by good luck charms. In 1944, Heron-Allen died. Despite insisting that the box containing the Delhi Sapphire should not be opened for 33 years after his death, Heron- Allen’s daughter wisely disposed of it as quickly as she could and sent it to the Natural History Museum. There it stayed until 1972, languishing in a drawer until curator Peter Tandy uncovered the sapphire and the strange letter enclosed detailing the particular tales of woe attached to the stone. It ends…” Whoever opens this box, do whatever you want with it. My advice however is to throw it into the sea.”
There are many such looted antiquities in British museums. The Elgin marbles from the Parthenon in Greece, which the Greek government is trying to get back for years and numerous Indian antiquities. Eventually Karma is a bitch. The once British Empire is now overtaken by India in economic prowess and in about 50 years it will be a quaint shell of what it is today.
Here is a picture of the Kanpur gem in the British Natural History museum where the birds killed by Allan Octavian Hume founder of the Indian National Congress Party also reposes.

British should ask British Pakistani MPs whether they are British or Pakistani and whether they want Britain to follow the Pakistani route.

Sunak should reward the Brits by doing away with the radio licence fee and giving BBC the opportunity to stand on its own feet.

The UK seems to be going down the "Pakistani route" anyway. The surprise is that it is the Conservatives that are taking us down that route as most UK Pakistanis support Labour. It would be instructive to discover how many of them hold dual citizenship.

The alternative, a typical reaction (based on history), when global leadership positions are changing hands involuntarily, is a physical attack.

One such physical attack will be the US on China. IMO it (US/China) is historic, inevitable, and imminent.

BBC is state sponsored media terrorist झुण्ड that is very often used by the britshit establishment and a few other allied deep state entities that need the respectable cloak of plausible deniability that has become a part and parcel of the hyped up self created fraud based narrative of the UK's alleged "freedom of the press" ecosystem and it is helped along by the exaggerated and often overemphasized myth of "the independent, fearless media" narrative, which began as a credible and allegedly trusted news source of the benign rulers of the colonial empire but in actual reality, it was a well oiled propaganda outfit, often serving the need crown's need of pushing slanted and doctored news to the outposts of the colonial empire.

It has evolved both in terms prowess of its ability to spew out targeted misinformation, as well as, the practiced artistry to shape public opinion of the target audience, in terms of being to influence issues and events by the sly shifting of overton windows, and suggestive innuendo

The britshits use the BBC exactly like they used their asset and pet primate ghandhy...... and for similar purposes, especially in India

while it may have started out as "radio licence fee" model, today it has morphed into an enforced crowd sourced funding model with almost nil cost to the britshit exchequer...

It is not an asset that they will ever give up

In fact that suggestion has a history and is insensitive.

Turnips were fed to farm animals as well being a staple of the poor. I am surprised this was actually uttered.

Food poverty strikes UK amid growing calls for free meals to kids in schools
Almost 4 million children in the United Kingdom are living in food poverty, meaning they either skip meals, go hungry or not eat meals at all in a 24-hour period — new data shows.
According to a report by London-based 'The Food Foundation', one in five (22 per cent) households reported skipping meals, going hungry or not eating for a whole day in January, up from 12 per cent at the equivalent point in January 2022.

Warm Hubs mushrooming all over UK due to soaring energy prices where even middle class families come from time to time
https://www.voanews.com/a/in-britain-wa ... 89852.html
Warm hubs have sprouted across Britain by the thousands this winter as soaring food and energy prices drive millions to turn down the thermostat or skimp on hot meals. Research by the opposition Labour Party counted almost 13,000 such hubs, funded by a mix of charities, community groups and the government and nestled in libraries, churches, community centers and even a tearoom at King Charles III's Highgrove country estate.
