Banning Political Parties will promote violence in Britain

Banning Political Parties will promote violence in Britain

Some members of Parliament celebrated bans on social media that effectively will not allow individuals or political organisations to appear on platforms as Facebook. Some time ago, Jo Cox MP, a Labour Party representative, was murdered by a man that was very much a disenfranchised member of society that expressed his hatred and frustration  killing a Member of Parliament.

Some time ago, Amber Rudd MP, as Home Secretary, banned an organisation called National Action and several people linked to National Action were sent to jail. Unfortunately, no serious thinking ensued. No one asked very serious questions that should have been asked. Most of those involved in National Action had been at one point or another members or supporters of a political party and when the said political party went downhill they found themselves without a political home. To make matters worse, their personal lives have also been affected by political discrimination because they had been members or supporters of the said political party. As day follows night, they got involved in activities that had nothing to do with taking part in elections.

My point is that as the number of those who don't feel represented, who are left without say, is growing so will the potential for political violence in the United Kingdom. Instead of banning or implementing political discrimination, we should be widening the political spectrum so that people feel represented and believe that there is a way of having a voice peacefully.

I have written to several Members of Parliament dealing with the issue of representation and of having an outlet to express grievances peacefully.

Today, there was the furore about environmental rallies and the disruption that they cause. It was soon followed by statements by the Home Secretary and Police authorities talking about the rule of law and about adopting repressive measures to counter the rallies. I don't think that repression on social media or repression on the streets will be conducive to peace. Quite the opposite.

As grievances are on the rise, people need to be able to express their frustration, to vent their anger, to express their discontent. In the present environment, bans and repression are the equivalent of building dams that are going to be broken with tragic consequences.

2008: BNP seen as Anti-Semitic - 2019: Labour seen as Anti-Semitic

2008 - Anti-Semites?
2019 - Anti-Semites?
How times change! In 2008, Hope Not Hate (aka Hate Not Hope) and UAF (United Against Freedom) and other political and para-political organisations were shocked by the news that Richard Barnbrook (former Labourt Party member) had won a seat at the London Assembly. Oh God! The Nazis, the Fascists, the Racists, the Anti-Semites have entered the London Assembly. The BBC, Sky News and others called about the shocking rise of the Far Right, although no-one seemed to have paid attention to the fact that the Far Right had a very similar platform to the Labour platform including nationalisation of public services including public transport and shared the views of many Labour Party grassroots - the old working class - that expressed their discontent because the Labour Party was moving farther and farther away from the interests of working men and women and favouring a Globalist Agenda that supported Multinationals.

Some ten years later, the heat is turning towards the Far Left but the arguments are exactly the same. Listening to Luciana Berger and others explaining that they left the Labour Party because the Labour Party is Racist and Anti-Semitic shows that the Labour Party seems to be the new British National Party in the minds of many politicians and mass media, including those like Amber Rudd that used racist vocabulary even when she is desperately trying to show that she is not Racist. The "Coloured Lady" is not "Coloured". She is a British citizen of African descent. But the former Home Secretary who is back in the cabinet who knows for how long doesn't seem to get things right. She seems to have created a new political label. Amber Rudd is not Far Left nor Far Right. Amber Rudd is Far Wrong.

Interestingly enough, the CAA and Mr Falter are proving what they so vigorously deny both in their statements via the mass media and in the courtrooms. They are showing the massive influence of Zionist Lobbies in the United Kingdom and playing a political game. Why they target Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party? Because under its new Leadership the Labour Party is strongly denouncing the atrocities and abuses committed by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu with its policies of occupation, oppression, annexation and aggression in the Middle East. When you see Orthodox Jews being attacked on the streets of Israel by Jewish servicemen that follow orders of Benjamin Netanyahu you are tempted to believe that this is not 2019 Israel but Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. It is a scandal. It is grotesque. If you replaced Stars of David with Swastikas, you could be led to believe that this is not the State of Israel but some Totalitarian Regime of the 1930s and 1940s. 

While the Labour Party is being attacked by those who claim that it is Anti-Semite, the Conservative Party is being attacked by those who claim that it is Anti-Muslim. The British political scene is being used as a battlefield to deal with foreign agendas and in the meantime time is being wasted that should be used to solve the many problems that Britain is facing on a daily basis. 

Some say that Europe is becoming more and more Anti-Semite and others say that Europe is becoming more and more Anti-Muslim. Sooner than later the political imbalances created by Muslim issues and Jewish issues is going to turn into a gigantic nightmare and  violence is already spreading.

What looks like a potpourri of different issues is actually the representation of different pieces of the same political puzzle. 

Tolerance is being replaced by ideologically driven intolerance and this inevitably leads to violence. The gap between rulers and the ruled is growing and growing. Real dialogue is vanishing being replaced with repression. Proper governance is vanishing and in its place we have water cannons, guns and brutality. What is happening in French streets is not reassuring. 

Is this what we call Democracy? To have the high moral ground to criticise other countries, we must ensure that we don't engage in the same kind of actions that we criticise. France is a mess and in such environment it is no wonder that all kinds of Extremist views can prosper. Europe is no more Anti-Semitic nor Anti-Muslim than before. What we are seeing is the rise of intolerance and discontent that can have many faces.

Gatwick Drone: National Security? What a sad joke!

Gatwick Drone: National Security? What a sad joke!

Prime Minister Theresa May vowed to destroy the network of  Russian Intelligence Operations in the United Kingdom. Mmm..... yes. How much money is invested/wasted in clown security operations? 

Is Britain safe? No, it isn't. Political correctness and sheer stupidity are Britain's greatest weakness. National Action a terrorist threat? Really? Who was in charge when National Action was banned? Amber Rudd. Do you really believe that Amber Rudd is somebody you can trust with the reins of the Home Office? Absolutely not. Do you think Amber Rudd is somebody you can trust with Social Security? Absolutely not.

We have rulers that spend more than an hour shouting at each other because they thought that Jeremy Corbyn called Theresa May 'stupid woman'. Is this the way to spend Parliamentary time? People are dying close to the House of Commons. People are killing themselves because of the failures of the state run by a bunch of idiots handsomely paid by taxpayers to do a job that they are not doing. National Security? Really?

When the entire operation of flights to and from the United Kingdom can be disrupted by a single drone, where is National Security. The British government is a shambles but the Official Opposition is not up to scratch. It cannot keep the Government to account not even when the British government is against the ropes. 

The images broadcast yesterday showing Police Officers that were blissfully unaware that they were asking for an identity document that was already in the hands of the authorities show how idiotic Police Services are. Where is coordination of Police Services? Is this the way Police Services operate across the United Kingdom? The whole saga goes on and on and it beggars belief.

Amber Rudd: Take Zero Hour Contract jobs or lose benefits?

Amber Rudd: Take Zero Hour Contract jobs or lose benefits?

She made a mess as Home Office Secretary and now she is making a mess in Social Security. One gaffe was not enough. Here comes another. 

In a country in which the number of people sleeping rough is rising, in which people are killing themselves because they don't have enough to live on, here comes Amber Rudd to tell them that 'they have to take Zero Hour Contract employment not to lose welfare payments'.

Brought back from the cold after taking a bullet that was meant for British Prime Minister Theresa May related to the Windrush Scandal because she didn't know what goes on in the Home Office, she was paid back by bringing her back into the Cabinet. Not enough time went by before there is yet another scandal.

Is Amber Rudd doing it on purpose? Why having such political liability inside the British government?

National Action infiltrated British Armed Forces under Amber Rudd's Watch as Home Secretary

National Action infiltrated British Armed Forces under Amber Rudd's Watch as Home Secretary


The news that elements of National Action infiltrated the British Armed Forces is actually no news at all. For a very long time, elements of the British Armed Forces have been training British para-military groups in several locations in the United Kingdom.

When you have an individual like Amber Rudd in charge you can expect a lot worse to happen. She was incompetent as Home Secretary and this is why she was forced to resign.Why putting Amber Rudd back again in the Cabinet? Because of desperation. She banned National Action. So what? Did she expect that those involved in National Action would be deterred by her legal action? Did she really think that banning National Action things were going to go back to what they were before?

Nothing happens in the lower ranks of any military organisation without the knowledge of the Middle Ranks and this raises very serious questions. To what extent Junior Military Officers respond to National Action? They are armed and they have what it takes. The high ranks of the Chilean Army were oblivious to the designs of General Augusto Pinochet until the very last minute and I suspect that something very similar is happening within the British Armed Forces. The Political Establishment didn't have a clue. Allende was a sitting duck and his top Generals were totally unaware of what was coming. Parliament was easily wiped out because the reality is that Politicians have no real power and if there is a coup most politicians would be running for cover. The mass media operators would follow because they wouldn't want to be shot down. What would happen? The mass media would very quickly 'join in' and seek 'an accommodation deal' to continue to operate.

Those of us who lived through a military coup and dictatorship know how things develop and I am seeing the tell tale signs of things to come.  What individuals like Amber Rudd did was to push people underground thus making them a lot more dangerous. They don't need a name to continue to operate. You need a name if you are a political organisation including a political party willing to stand in elections. Elements of National Action don't want to stand in elections and anonymity is one of their best assets. All National Action is to place sympathetic elements within structures of power and this includes the Armed Forces. They will have people working within the Police and other strategic organisations.

Why the Establishment keeps pestering and targeting individuals like Tommy Robinson, Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen? Because they are publicly known and easily targeted. How do you target people whose existence you are not aware of? You don't because you cannot. They are invisible. They could be standing next to you and you wouldn't be aware of what they are planning to do. I guess Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi paid the ultimate price because of their lack of awareness and the Political Establishment could be about to learn a very harsh lesson and they should be thinking about Jo Cox MP. Did her position as Member of Parliament save her life?

Amber Rudd banned National Action thinking that they were dangerous. What a fool!

Amber Rudd banned National Action thinking that they were dangerous. What a fool!

The Windrush Scandal brought Amber Rudd down but her incompetence was shown long before. I knew Jack Renshaw and many of those accused of being members of National Action. None of them would be capable of any acts of terrorism. The whole thing has been a shameful circus for political posturing.

About 85% of inmates in British jails are Muslim. What does this tell you about what is going on? Then came the reports that more whites are being arrested and charged with terrorism. Why? Because they had to use Police Forces to show that they were not being unduly harsh with Muslim criminals. The fact of the matter remains that all those murdered in terrorists acts in the United Kingdom have been killed by Muslim criminals or Muslim converts. Lee Rigby was killed by Muslim converts. A Police Officer was slaughtered in Westminster stabbed by a Muslim convert. Not a single person has been killed by a white terrorists because there are no white terrorists.

Liberals and Marxists want to justify their ideological stances by blaming innocent whites and pursue their campaign of ethnic cleansing that is destroying Europe. ethnic cleansing that will lead to war and to the disintegration of democratic institutions that has taken centuries to forge.

It took centuries for women to be able to vote. Muslims treat women as slaves or at best as second or third class individuals. Many of them believe that they have to deliberately damage women's bodies with the so called Female Genital Mutilation or that they have to be hidden, covered with bed clothing when they walk on the streets. An Asian Lady Peer denounced that Muslim men were importing women to use them as cash cows by exploiting the welfare state by claiming benefits for children of several wives.

Many Muslims believe and they speak openly about it that women only exist to pleasure men. The promise of tens of virgins to deliver sexual pleasures to those who blow up themselves for Allah more than proves the extraordinary disregard for women to be seen not as wives and mothers but as objects to be exploited. They not even respect their own daughters to the point that for ages there have been ongoing investigations about forced marriages and about girls that have been killed or have had to escape, to run away from their families, because they felt that their lives were in danger. This is the Islam, the so called culture, that Liberals and Marxists want to impose on us.

For more than sixteen years, Police and Politicians looked the other way while thousands of vulnerable children were raped and drugged by Muslim gangs and those raising the alert were accused of racism. Instead of protecting vulnerable children, for the said Police Officers and Politicians it was more important to protect their positions at the expense of vulnerable children and they wilfully protected Muslim criminals.

The rage against Tommy Robinson, Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen, against Nick Griffin and others is that they not only denounced Muslim depravity and terrorism. They have actively campaigned against Muslim depravity and Muslim Terrorism. The Security Services themselves say on a regular basis that they are quashing terror attempt after terror attempt of Muslim Terrorists and when they failed to do so people died. Lee Rigby was beheaded by people that the Security Services were trying to recruit. They couldn't foil attacks in London and Manchester and people died. We have Hate Priests using public spaces, Mosques and Cultural Centres to spread hatred against Non Muslims. Not only that. We have jails being used to promote Muslim Terrorism. 

The real terrorists have not been members of organisations like National Action. The real terrorists have been supported by Liberals and Marxists.

The icing on the cake was Amber Rudd's actions during the Windrush Scandal. She deliberately lied to Parliament about the immigration shambles in which documents were destroyed and families who came to Britain in good faith have been made to suffer. Whether dealing with Terrorism or dealing immigration, Amber Rudd was not fit for purpose and now she is trying to rock the boat to ignore the will of the British People that in a democratic exercise decided to leave the European Union.

Porton Down is Britain's Chernobyl

Porton Down is Britain's Chernobyl

Britain must stop producing chemical weapons in Porton Down. There is one cover up after another to make people forget that Britain is producing dangerous substances near inhabited areas and putting millions of British lives in danger.

The facilities in Porton Down must be closed down and the installations must be made safe before there is a catastrophe. Blaming a foreign country is a childish way of trying to hide the fact that Britain, despite signing treaties against chemical weapons, is producing chemical weapons.

About four months ago, the British authorities said that there was no longer any danger. They knew that there is danger because British authorities have created the danger and taken unacceptable levels of risk and endangering human life in the United Kingdom.

Theresa May knows and others involved know full well that Britain is in violation of conventions regarding chemical weapons and this is why they keep lying and lying and lying even more. Porton Down is Britain's chernobyl and things could get a lot worse.

Amber Rudd MP has blood on her hands


Amber Rudd MP, as the most incompetent Home Secretary Britain has ever had and one of the shortest-lived in her post as Home Secretary after she lied to Parliament about the Windrush Affair involving the destruction of immigration documents that led to deportation of Black immigrants who were brought to Britain to rebuild a country ravaged by war, has blood on her hands.

Sending a man to jail for sticking bacon on the doors of a Mosque only for the said man to be murdered by Muslim Extremists in a British jail was one of the most irrational actions ever undertaken by a British Home Secretary.


Racially aggravated public disorder? Islam is a religion and Muslims are not a race. Aggravated public disorder? If somebody goes around running over pedestrians or a group of people steals vans and uses them to go around killing people on the streets, this is what I would consider aggravated-public disorder but sticking a piece of bacon on doors is not a risk to human life but it is a crime in the minds of an Establishment that has lost the plot completely. 

But not only that and it will go straight to the point. I do believe that killing more than 50 people and injuring many others in an attack in London in 2005 and in other events that followed also in London and in Manchester can be qualified as a terrorist attack. Having said that, I don't think that posting stickers at an University can be classified as a terrorist attack and even so an entire group of people - one of them Paul Hickman - were classed as terrorists and their group was banned.

I know that most people in the United Kingdom reject Capital Punishment but the events that led to the death of Paul Hickman constitute Capital Punishment. Faced with the real threat of being sent to jail, Paul Hickman took his own life. Capital Punishment for what? For posting stickers at an University. Amber Rudd MP's actions at the Home Office constitute Racism on a massive scale. She was complicit and when asked about it in the House of Commons she lied about it and ultimately lost her post as Home Secretary because of it. So she is one of the least qualified in the House of Commons to criticise anybody else for racism after some high ranking officials of a Conservative government engaged in an exercise of Institutionalised Racism.

I knew personally several of those accused of belonging to National Action and I not only knew them. I worked with several of them in perfectly lawful political activities. I worked with Paul Hickman then Regional Organiser. He was a kind and soft man and I remember him with affection.

I do not condone nor support irrational acts of violence but Paul Hickman was not a Terrorist. Idiots like Amber Rudd put lives in danger when she was supposed to prevent loss of life. What can you expect of an administration that via political reshuffles puts incompetent people in charge and gives them extraordinary powers? Cabinet Ministers in posts like the post of Home Secretary must have a proven record showing that they will meet the requirements of the job.

Look at her record both in government and outside government. Can anybody say that she had the qualifications to be Home Secretary, one of the most difficult cabinet posts? No, she had none of the qualifications required. She had no previous experience whatsoever and this is why her actions could only lead to disaster and loss of life.

Listening to Britain First you understand that there are quite a few nutters in the House of Commons

Listening to Britain First you understand that there are quite a few nutters in the House of Commons.

Having seen the twits and having heard what the Prime Minister Theresa May said, what Home Secretary Amber Rudd said, what an SNP MP said and what Labour Party MPs including Yvette Cooper said in the House of Commons, I conclude that the House of Commons is inhabited by quite a few nutters who don't have a clue about what they are talking about. Prime Minister Theresa May - once again - made a fool of herself publicly telling what US President Donald Trump can say or cannot say. After a disastrous election called in a rush, Theresa May is still driven to make silly statements for the sake of very misguided Political Correctness. She accused President Donald Trump of showing what is really going on and she completely forgot to condemn the real perpetrators.

About Yvette Cooper MP I don't hold any hopes. She historically supported an illegal invasion that killed thousands of Iraqis and led to a massive exodus that some say was the trigger for the mess the Middle East Region has become. Her good judgement has gone missing more than once. With regards to SNP, I must say that they promised a false independence for Scotland and their sole role has become to create as many problems as possible for the country as a whole as some kind of retaliation when they didn't get their pseudo independence.

I went to listen to Britain First. I was there from beginning to end of a conference during which Paul Golding as Leader and Jayda Fransen as Deputy Leader explained very clearly their political aims. Not a word of Racism. Not a word of Fascism. What they both said had nothing to do with Racism and had nothing to do with Fascism proving that Members of the House of Commons including the British Prime Minister Theresa May and Home Secretary Amber Rudd have been lying to the British People by totally misrepresenting and falsely accusing the Leadership of Britain First.

The behaviour of several Members of Parliament and of Members of the British Government has been absolutely shameful and degrading. As if we didn't have enough with expenses fraud and improper sexual behaviour, Members of Parliament regularly misrepresent, falsely accuse and demonise fellow British Citizens.

Jez Turner: Who pulls the strings of some members of the British government


Who pull the strings of some members of the British government and uses British Courts to promote its own agenda?

Jez Turner is being targeted for a case that was dismissed by the Crown Prosecution Service and reinstated by the very same Crown Prosecution Service because of pressure exerted by a lobby on very visible figures of the British government.

National Action: Over-generalisation leading to gross injustices

National Action: Over-generalisation leading to gross injustices

Whether National Action has been banned or proscribed for whatever reasons that the British government hasn't fully justified with facts, we need to focus on the rights of individuals and on how those rights are being eroded.

We have seen demonstrations carried out by Islamic organisations in the United Kingdom that have publicly and very loudly talked saying that their fundamental aim is the destruction of the British Way of Life. They have not only burnt Poppies or insulted British Soldiers that were returning from the battlefields. They have actually engaged in the promotion of terrorism against Britain.

I don't see National Action doing anything of the sort. They are not going around detonating bombs in Manchester and London. They are not driving vehicles and killing people on the streets. They are not going around chasing girls and boys to rape them or to ply them with alcohol and drugs as some Muslim groups in the United Kingdom have done.

The British Government is using Anti-Terror Legislation to persecute people who are not involved in acts of terrorism and the definition of what constitutes Terrorism and what doesn't constitute Terrorism is open to abuse by British Authorities.

I happen to personally know individuals who are now facing the courts falsely accused of being involved in acts of terrorism. I did know Paul Hickman who took his own life facing the threat of a  court using kangaroo charges that are a total fabrication. I happen to personally know Jack Renshaw and Jack Renshaw is not the kind of person that would possible be what the British Authorities seem to believe that he is.

This issue affects me personally because I strongly believe that these injustices are being committed on the name of Political Correctness going mad.

I have personally written to the Home Office Secretary Amber Rudd MP, as I have written to Helen Hayes MP, Jo Swinson MP, and to the Head of the North East Counter Terrorism Unit, alerting them that extremely serious injustices are being committed and all for the sake of Political Correctness.

Whether any of the aforementioned British Authorities wants to take any notice of what I have said remains to be seen but the point has to be made.

UK Anti-Terror Legislation is being used for Political Persecution


Anthony Mole - Head of North West Counter Terrorism Unit
UK Anti-Terror Legislation is used for Political Persecution

When Anti-Terror Legislation was passed in the House of Commons after being put forward by then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, there were voices of concern talking about the possibility that Anti-Terror Legislation could be used for purposes that had nothing to do with fighting against Terrorism and what was feared has become reality. A para-political organisation called National Action was banned after being wrongly classified as a Terrorist Organisation, innocent people were arrested and are now being taken to court to be jailed because of their political ideas. But there are other aspects of this tragedy that are unfolding when children are taken away from their families and innocent people take their own lives. This was the case of Paul Hickman who was arrested because he was in possession of stickers used for political purposes. Paul Hickman couldn't bear the thought of being put on trial to be crucified on trumped up charges and of having to spend time in jail as yet another victim of political persecution.

Paul Hickman

I wrote to Anthony Mole as Head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit; I wrote to Amber Rudd MP as Home Secretary; I wrote to Helen Hayes MP whom I approached several times to deal with political issues; I wrote to Jo Swimson MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats. I write to you as ordinary members of the public and ask you to spread the word because this is a very serious matter. 

I lived under a military dictatorship and I can recognise the signs of a dictatorial regime being imposed on the British people. It happens gradually, so gradually that most people fail to stop such signs. Firstly, basic rights of assembly are taken away. People are not allowed to demonstrate in certain public areas. The justification is 'we are concerned about public safety'. Secondly, measures that are nothing more than political discrimination are implemented. "Sorry, you cannot have the job that you want 'because you are a member or have been a member of certain political parties'." "Sorry, you cannot be invited to a debate because you are a member or have been a member of certain political parties or because we don't like what you say". This goes so far as not just banning ordinary people but also US Presidents like President Donald Trump. No official visits to the United Kingdom and no speaking at the House of Commons. 

Now, families are persecuted, children are taken away from their families, organisations that have committed no crime are banned and individuals are persecuted and imprisoned. Britain is becoming a de-facto dictatorial regime.

When the masses support dictatorial behaviour all that is left to say is what Jesus said on the cross: Forgive them father, for they don't know what they are doing. Millions of people across Britain are voluntarily and willingly walking towards a repressive regime. 

Dear Jo Swinsom MP,

This is the original email I sent to Amber Rudd, to Helen Hayes and to the Head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit. It is a very important matter and in the last 24 hours became a case of life and death leading a 37 year old to take his own life. You can contact me directly. I do include a mobile number and I am ready and willing to meet you at the House of Commons to talk about a very important issue.

Anti-Terror Legislation was introduced under a Labour government. Since then, it has been used for purposes that were not originally intended.

Subject: Something very wrong


Dear Amber Rudd,

There is something absolutely wrong concerning the strategy adopted against para-political organizations (not Terrorist organizations). National Action is not a Terrorist organization despite the fact that it has been wrongly classified as a Terrorist organization.

I personally knew Paul Hickman and distributing adhesive campaign propaganda materials is not a terrorist activity. Somebody like Paul Hickman was never involved in any kind of violent activity whatsoever and neither was Jack Renshaw due to appear in court on January 2nd  2018.

When anti-Terror Laws are used for purely political purposes there is the certain danger of a backlash that could lead to others getting involved in activities that otherwise they would not get involved into and this because of the anger that injustices generate.

I know what happened in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile – among other countries - in the 1970s and 1980s. I was a member of the military in those days and of the mass media/intelligence services that led to the arrest, torture and in some cases execution of political detainees and I worry that Britain is walking along a very dangerous path when Anti-Terror Laws are used for purely political purposes.

The present approach can certainly create a danger that didn’t exist before. I sense the resentment and anger that such approach has created, approach that could turn political activists into murderers.

Your approach will not prevent attacks against Members of Parliament. Helen Hayes, that I know personally, is aware of the fact that I do know the subject matter that I am writing about because of my background and my political links.

Common sense and rationality must prevail. The actions in which the North West Counter Terrorism Unit has been involved are not related to Terrorism. They are actions of a political nature and they are totally unjustified.

I hope for Britain’s sake that there is a change of course of action. Anti-Terror Laws should only be used for the purpose they were intended to be used. I hope that Britain stops using Anti-Terror Laws for purely political purposes.

And I take this opportunity to issue a word of caution. It is common knowledge that members of the British Armed Forces have joined or are joining para-political groups. Nothing happens in the military without the knowledge of the higher ranks of the British Armed Forces. It is not the kind of thing that can be kept a secret. If you were to touch a raw nerve, the present approach could be even more catastrophic.

Best regards

Karl Hohenstauffen
