Actually, it is quite surprising for us too but we know that karma is an unforgiving biatch and will come a-visiting at the most inopportune of moments.

Just to note, former UK is also caught in a wave of Femicide.

Females are not finding any safe space in former-UK. Here is report from al-guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/society/202 ... n-28-weeks

Every 3rd day a female is murdered in former-UK. And here is the confirmation: https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/on ... ys/121352/

It is worse in case of other crimes against women. 97% of women say they have faced sexual harrassment. https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/97 ... uk/105940/

Rape statistics are even more horrible. Some are not reported at all.

Take the case of Bibaa and Nicole sisters. The Police did *not* care. Mediapimps did *not* care. Their case was not even reported till it went to trial in the courts. Why? Because the sisters were black. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-57679755

Well if something like this happens in India, BBC, AL guardian, etc will be the first to spread it using a microphone. And our DDM and slavish mentality media will also post it in their webpage word for world like its gospel truth.

I have never seen toilet paper ever post a opinion from Kenya's daily Nation or Japan's Japan times or Korea's Korea times. It's always BBC, Reuters, CNN, guardian etc etc.

Here's Hockey India's letter notifying of its decision to withdraw from CWG2021. Good idea, and I hope IOA extends that and entirely withdraws.

Kenya's ...Japan's...South Korea's media....

Exactly. I've always wondered why we never see commentary from these and other countries' media? What does the Mongolian media think of secularism and tolerance in India? ; what do the Cambodian media say about historical controversies in India; what is a Kenyan assessment of the caste issue; how does the Ghanian media see gender inequality; what does Peru have to say about Kashmir; what is a Mexican take on India's environmental challenges; how impressed are Venezuelans by India's scientific and industrial achievements; how much does Lithuania like, or dislike, Modi? And so on. Yes, the US and UK media can weigh in on India's many issues, but why do Indians cite only them?

UK lifts its quarantine rule for Indian flyers
British high commissioner Alex Ellis tweeted there would be “no quarantine” for Indian travellers who were fully vaccinated with Covishield or any other UK-approved vaccine, and thanked the Indian government for its close cooperation on the issue over the past month. :mrgreen:

“From Monday... a traveller from India to the UK, double jabbed with Covishield or another vaccine recognised by the UK regulator, does not have to quarantine. It will be easier and cheaper to enter the UK. This is great news,” Ellis said in a video statement

Hoping India dawdles on its response and reciprocation, citing non-functioning bureaucracy due to Navaratri, then Deepavali, then Kartik poornima, then Makara Sankaranti. What to do onlee, off for holiday season. Babooze might even visit UK for vacations, now that the rules are relaxed there :).

Speaking of British MPs, Sir David Amess, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Britain’s governing Conservative Party, has been stabbed multiple times at in Leigh-on-Sea, according to reports. Name of the stabber withheld, so it could be the usual Londonistan shantidoot or another British looney . Britain has been facing weeks long protests by radical environmentalists, so i wouldn't discount them either.

A somalian with peaceful intents.

However, The Independent understands that the suspect is of Somali origin, and the murder is being treated at this point as a probable Islamist terror attack. :roll:

Yes, nicely done.

In a future article, maybe explain that India's "relationship" with Britain should be relegated to a transactional status due to its relative lack of importance.

The quarantine drama was a pathetic attempt to show that they still have some "leverage" over India and also to fleece Indian students and visitors of money. That is all they care about. India could take long-overdue actions:

- Leave the "Commonwealth" and stop participating in the Commonwealth Games.

- Prohibit Indian citizens from availing any benefits from the UK's slyly designed "commonwealth citizen" feature. Under this, Indian citizens can vote (and run for office) in UK elections, and become MPs, military officers, etc. This is a national security threat and probably unconstitutional as well.

- Club UK with Pakistan and Bangladesh for purposes of visa, immigration, and OCI matters.

British Fleet Led By Aircraft Carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth Sails Into Bay Of Bengal, Exercises Planned With Indian Navy
The UK's Carrier Strike Group led by its largest warship HMS Queen Elizabeth sailed into the Bay of Bengal on Friday for the second such voyage in the last three months, in a powerful demonstration of the growing strategic partnership between the two countries.

The British High Commission in India said the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) will take part in the "most demanding exercise" ever between the UK and India, incorporating elements from all three military services.

HMS Queen Elizabeth and its strike task group had carried out a mega wargame with a number of Indian warships and submarines in the Bay of Bengal in July that featured a range of complex drills.
Pictures and press release from the July 2021 exercise:



INDIAN NAVY EXERCISES WITH ROYAL NAVY CARRIER STRIKE GROUP
The maiden exercise between Indian Navy and the Royal Navy’s latest Aircraft Carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth included participation of CSG-21 comprising Type 23 Frigates and an Astute-class submarine in addition to the other surface combatants. Indian Navy was represented by IN Ships Satpura, Ranvir, Jyoti,Kavaratti, Kulish and a submarine. Anti-Submarine Warfare capable Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft P8I also participated in the exercise.

MAIDEN INDIA – UK JOINT TRI-SERVICE EXERCISE KONKAN SHAKTI 2021

The maiden India – UK Joint Tri-Service exercise Ex KONKAN SHAKTI is scheduled in India between 21 - 27 Oct 21.

The maritime component of the exercise, to be conducted off the west coast of India, is scheduled to be held in two phases. The harbour phase is planned at Mumbai from 21 - 23 Oct 21, while at sea, the exercises will be conducted from 24 - 27 Oct 21. The naval linkages between India and the United Kingdom is one of antiquity and, over a period, it has grown substantially in terms of interoperability and synergy. Over decades now, both navies have undertaken bilateral exercises, exchanges and enhanced their technical cooperation. Rightly so, this has formed the basis for the maiden tri-service bilateral exercise, 'Konkan Shakti -21'.

Royal Navy (RN) will be represented by its aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, with her integral F35 fighter aircraft and helicopters, the Type 45 Daring Class air-defence destroyer HMS Defender, the Type 23 frigate HMS Richmond, a Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Fort Victoria, and a Royal Netherland Navy Frigate HNLMS Evertsen. The Indian Navy (IN) would be represented by three of its indigenously built stealth guided missile destroyers INS Kolkata, INS Kochi and INS Chennai, two stealth frigates, INS Talwar and INS Teg, and the tanker INS Aditya. The IN will also be participating with integral Sea King 42B, Kamov-31 and Chetak helicopters, MIG 29K fighter aircraft, Dornier and P8i (maritime patrol aircraft) and a submarine. The exercise will also see participation by IAF aircraft that include Jaguars, SU-30 MKI fighters, AWACS, AEW&C and Flight Refueling Aircraft.

The exercise at sea will feature advanced warfare tactics, Anti-Submarine Warfare exercises, over-the-horizon targeting drills, Air Defence Exercise, Cross Deck landings and other complex manoeuvers at sea. The joint phase of the exercise would also include air-tactical operations involving F35Bs, MiG 29Ks and Indian Air Force elements. To facilitate smooth execution of the exercise, the harbour phase will see active interaction between planners of both navies, exchange of information by respective subject matter experts, and interaction of personnel participating in the exercise. Earlier, the Indian Air Force participated in an operational engagement with the UK CSG on 19 and 20 Oct 21. The exercise focused on multiple areas including enhancing aspects of interoperability and exchange of best practices.

The land phase of the exercise is being conducted between Indian Army and UK Army at Chaubatia from 21 -27 October 2021 under the aegis of Golden Key Division of Surya Command. UK Army is being represented by officers and troops of the 1st Battalion of the Fusilier Regiment and the Indian Army is represented by the troops of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles. The Joint Company Level Exercise between the two nations is aimed at training troops in conduct of Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief Operations by coalition forces in an opposed environment.

Europe’s famed multiculturism in trouble amid growing Islamist radicalisation and assertiveness

Some snippets that caught my eye. Each one of these is more obnoxious than the others.
The Anglican Church is now recommending official recognition to the Shariah and a British court has recently affirmed the acceptance of aspects of Shariah law in divorce.
In Europe, the Islamisation of Sweden is the most startling instance of self-willed societal demise.
Sweden plagued with rape by migrants has addressed the catastrophe by refusing to classify perpetrators by religious and migrant categories. Even the impending bankruptcy of some Swedish towns, owing to the incessant demands placed on them by Muslim immigrant communities who regard welfare payments to them as an absolute right, has not prompted a serious re-evaluation of Swedish refugee policy.
... the Czech Prime Minister has asserted that Sweden and the Netherlands will become Europe’s first Muslim-majority countries.
Many of the ceremonial holders of British mayoral office are Muslims and there are four elected ones who wield actual political power, including the most prominent, Sadiq Khan of London. Such is his clout to affect the personal fortunes of individuals that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s key UK and global adviser is one of his strongest supporters, campaigning against Sadiq Khan’s openly pro-Hindu and pro-Indian Jewish rival.
Any idea who this PM NaMo's UK & global media advisor is? Why is this guy beholden to the p*ki mayor of lund-en?
Much more crucially, Muslim voters are in a position to determine outcomes in anything up to eighty British parliamentary constituencies. It effectively, means that the opposition Labour Party can never form the government in the UK if Muslims and voters of Pakistani origin, who mainly vote for the Labour Party, turn against it. Other political parties, including the so-called Greens and the Liberal Democrats, are also extremely sensitive to the wishes of Pakistani-origin constituents and the ruling Conservative Party is ineluctably also becoming beholding to them.
80 Brishit parliamentary constituencies are in the grip of p*kis? :shock:

Is any/all of this true? What have Britain & Europe done to themselves? :eek:

Could be the same guy who campaigned some years ago in UK & US to deny entry visa to Modi then Gujarat CM. Seems he met Modi once and was won over and has become a touch point for Modi on certain local / muslim affairs. Is he really and advisor? Don't know. Can't recollect his name...
