Pakistan suspended from the commonwealth

Whisper pakis are not living in isolation, we are giving business to others getting business from others; i don�t know how much commonwealth kickoff will effect us but emergency did that. I am working in a software house we were expecting some foreign client visits for our products; they all refuse to come during emergency; our company also constructed a power plant for which company hired some foreigners; they refuse to come and ultimately plant is suffering. In the same way many other businesses might also have suffered and if you measure its ripple till the root; who is suffering, we people are suffering?

Well if there is a blackout of news.. most won't hear about it unless they are hooked in by computer..

Duende, I am British and have values.

Love your spirit, but should I take your comment to read that only the Brits have values?

Years past countries were members of the British Empire.

Members of the British Empire?

Didn�t realise it was some sort of a Bingo club? Please educate me on how countries applied for the membership of the British Empire? I would like to take issue with history that makes us believe that these countries were occupied with the help of superior weapons and, yes, with that Royal Navy.

It was changed to the Commonwealth. This meant that Britain no longer had rule over countries.

All my sympathies, but then you know that all Empires come to end one day!

It has nothing to do with money.

Let�s be friends, I live in Manchester, just happen to spend these bleak wet winter months out here in Spain. We can level out, I won�t let anyone even get wind of it!

 

If it weren�t about money then what were the Brits doing spilling all that blood in all those countries? Shall we spell National Interests? Calmly? And, with a deep breath?

It is to do with good relations.

Good relations with who?

We could have tried this good relations exercise, with the Palestinians, we so brutally partitioned to design a Mid East to our own advantage?

Or, even with those pobre Indians, we claimed to be the Jewel in our Crown? I won't even mention the poor Kashmiris, we sold to the Dogras for a mere 7.5 million rupees without even having the title deeds of the place or of the people sold with it.

I was not suggesting anything, I was showing personal growing concern for another nation.

I will back you one hundred percent if you are really concerned with this nation. Let's mail Gordon Brown our concern about this emergency imposed by a half witted desperate Dictator, to prolong his hold on power.

 

Shall we ask the community to have this rolled back, restore basic human rights and re-instate the Judiciary? Hold election, but FREE and FAIR ones. And get your man asylum and settle him around Cheetham Hill area.  

 

I get tired of others criticising Britain.

 

I do too, but when we have been robbing, looting and double crossing people all over the world, for a good 287 years, that�s exactly what we get.

 

In fact, we should be happy with mere criticism than what we have actually come to earn, by sowing terror across the world � like in Iraq and in my country, Afghanistan, just recently 

� only because we ever refused to Apply for the British Empire membership!!!

Martha, if you're expecting some silly replies, you shall have them.

The unfortunate truth you can research for yourself, right here on the
web, is that countries 'unite' only according to what their bankers desire.
It is an extremely frustrating and very well camouflaged fact of life.

What a nation's people want and what it's rulers provide are rarely in
accord, yet we still cling to the idea of 'democratically elected'
representatives to 'lead' us in the best direction.
