Brexit. This about sums it all up.
Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
Boris Johnson no-confidence vote 'next week', says SNP MP Stewart Hosie
Mr Hosie said there was growing concern that Mr Johnson may find a way of circumventing the so-called "Benn Bill" which requires him to seek an extension to the UK's departure date if no deal has been agreed.
The aim of a no-confidence vote would be to install an interim prime minister who would secure a short Brexit delay and then call a general election.
"We have to do that because there is now no confidence that the prime minister will obey the law and seek the extension that Parliament voted for only a few weeks ago," he told the Today programme.
"It we are serious about the extension that is the only game in town."

This is Haus von Windsor Castle (WC), hain? I know circa WW1 it was a close thing. Present one has bloodlines from assorted horse-grooms, race-car drivers, chauffers etc etc. The past ones had mostly Knights Errant and page boys' blood. As shown by this new research report, this is why the current and upcoming gen are superior in breeding (I mean in space breeding, thank u)

Should a senior BJP member ask Indians in the UK NOT to vote for Labour on account of its support for a terrorist nation?
If anyone believes yes, then who and how to bell this cat.

Sept 30:
The Labour Party was snubbed by the Indian High Commission and various forums of Indian diaspora on September 29 when they organised India Day in London to mark the 73rd Independence Day that the country celebrated last month.
The special event was organised by India Day UK, NRI Platform UK and India Community Organisations, who had the backing of the High Commission of India in London. Held at Osterley Sports Grounds, India Day event did not have an invitee from the Labour Party.
'Boycott rather than entertain the Labour politicians' is a "policy" decision taken by the Indian government, said Kuldeep Shekhawat, the President of Overseas Friends while speaking to India Today in London.
This is a "pre-decided policy" to not support those taking "anti-India" stand. It resulted in cancellation of the reception dinner hosted by the HCI for Labour Party leaders. The same template is likely to be followed for future events.

They are certainly of German origin, but the main family is Windsor-veettil (which is the house of Saxe-Coburg).eklavya wrote:^^^

There is also intermarriage with some of the Battenberg-veettil folks (who renamed themselves Mountbatten after WW1).

I live in the UQ and am SERIOUSLY thinking of cancelling my TV license. I don't watch BBC live or BBC iPlayer anymore. Only watch streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. Most of the TV license goes to BBC and I am no more willing to pay them money to them. I would recommend people take a real look to see if they can avoid paying TV license - legally, of course - especially if you don't watch BBC at all.

Have met a few over the years and generally speaking they are very self serving.
The USP they put forward to the British and Indian governments is as follows:
To the British government/establishment/political parties
"we have links and influence with the "asian" and especially the Indian community.
"We can get money and votes from the same"
To the Indian government:
"we have links and influence with the British government/establishment/political parties"
"we can influence them"
The reality is that demography is destiny.
I have a friend who has set up a twitter account with a view to influencing the Indian community, it is doing well, about 780 + followers mainly Indian in the UK. He has been warning of this for decades, literally. What he has learned along the way, dealing face to face with Indian community leaders and activists is horrifying.
The peaceful ones are backed by sowdi money. They take over an area and then approach a political party and promise to deliver a block vote....on condition that one of their community is the candidate. This happened to Mukesh Malhotra, the Deputy Mayor of Hounslow (Labour) replaced by a pakistani who was tweeting about Jewish/Israeli conspiracies!!
The Indian community is too divided, by region, by caste.

It is not true that if you do not watch any BBC channels then you do not need a licence.
This is a common misconception that is simply not true. It is in reality a TV tax.
On the plus side, you probably won't be caught. However if you are, you will be prosecuted.

Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
May be you may not remember but India used to have Radio licence which has to be renewed every year at the local post office. The inspectors used to look for the antennas (at that time you needed a long wire antenna like the the one you use to dry your clothes except it is made of wire) to fine people. Those were the days when you waited years to buy a little Vespa or go to the local post office to book for the stately Ambassador.Aditya_V wrote:What kind of nation has a TV tax and License, its not really a free nation.

You don't need a TV license if all you are doing is watching streaming services (other than BBC iPlayer). You can have mobile phones without paying TV license. It is ONLY when you try to watch any kind of "Live TV" that you need a TV license. clickysaip wrote:A single TV Licence covers all of the following in a single property:

Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
I never knew UK still has a TV license fee. It was an annoyance when I was there in the early 80s. BBC claimed since they had no ads, the viewing public had to pay a fee to watch programming, theoretically if you could prove you only watched ITV (there were only four channels then), you could get away without a license. It's a bit like road tax for cars, an archaic system where even if you take your car out once a week you are taxed the same as the guy who is driving a 100 miles a day.saip wrote:A single TV Licence covers all of the following in a single property:

i made the same comment to my relocation assistant when i was told you need a license to use a TV. She was surprised that we dont have to pay any fees.

The license fee is used to fund a left wing pro islamist bbc.

Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
Yes, that's absolutely true. They had warnings on TV that if you were caught watching BBC without a license you would have to pay hefty fines, there were vans roaming the streets to ensure this. We all thought it was better to simply pay up.chetak wrote:i read somewhere, a long time ago, that they used to have special patrolling vans to ferret out TV sets by homing in on the RF radiation emitted by the working TV sets.Primus wrote:

Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
Memory lane: When I was in UK back in the 1980s there was a license fee for watching TV. This was meant for the BBC. However, there was resentment among the British Bhadralok that the BBC spent the money for foreign broadcasts meant to emphasize the British point of view (propaganda for the third world countries). By that time the British Empire was toothless and only the BBC thought that it made a difference. They always said that they read the news much slowly and clearly when compared to the VOA, which was done so that the natives could understand it better. VOA that time was a rival organization and had money to throw around, unlike the BBC. Just as the argument went the MI6 did better job than the CIA with less money and more sophistication. James Bond and all that. When you purchased a TV set in UK, it came with forms for payments this license. I took a risk and did not pay. Now, when I lived in West Berlin there was also a fee for watching TV. But they did not enforce this law in student hostels and I did not pay. UK did have private TV (ITN) but BBC did not show commercials and justified the license fee in this way. Germany had commercials but it was on a very limited scale on designated times. Nothing like what we get in the US. If I remember correctly, Germany even today has a fee for using the Internet. I do remember radio licenses in India too. But then I am ancient with a long memory.
