The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

There are two Independence days this week – that of Pakistan and also of its mother, India. Should the UK not take heed of the overt and increasing anti-India sentiment by the Pakistani backed Khalistani-Kashmiri alliance, then relations with the UK will suffer. Just as relations between US and Pakistan have. Britain is the new battleground for Pakistan in its war against India.
When I worked in the US Congress twenty years ago we had information on Pakistan having the nuclear bomb. Pakistan was outspending India on lobbying however. Add to that that they would use US aid dollars to buy US fighter jets and American politicians bought by Pakistan were more than happy to look the other way.
At the same time from Canada would come the Khalistanis to lobby the US Congress. A handful of extremists with an over-active imagination and delusions of grandeur of their own Taliban-like extremist religious State.
From the UK, Pakistan supports Khalistani and Kashmiri separatists. And with ever more politicians in Parliament willing to listen and advocate their cause, a strategy of Parliamentary infiltration suited to the UK’s special colonial demography, you have from something small and irrelevant something which becomes an international annoyance. One thing I can tell you about the Indian Ministry of External Affairs – they’re never in the mood for bullshit excuses. I’ve only ever met very firm minded individuals. Indian politicians may be distracted with internal childish squabbles but the civil servants are clear on what Britain has to do.
I too believe in Voltaire’s liberal idea that I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. And with Mill’s contention that the State should stay out of the affairs of private individuals if they cause no harm to others.
Well these ideas have been manipulated by these Pakistani supported groups to mean you can call hate speech, free speech, you can use weapons against flags and call it free speech, you can seek the destruction of a democracy (not mild criticism) and call it free speech. The rule of law trumps free speech. And the law needs to be enforced on hate speech. Young minds are too immature, ill-educated and naïve to appreciate this. Older wiser heads must prevail in the age of the snow-flake generation.
Yes, India is Independent. But in the words of Churchill, ironically for India, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Be vigilant Britain, your greatest leader warned you – vigilant against those enemies of India, for they are also enemies of Britain. Just ask America – your closest ally.
