The propaganda is aimed at the lower classes in British society to alleviate their daily drudgery of life, and to make them feel good about themselves -- for a while -- by telling them that, despite all their daily problems, they live in mighty Great Britain which a) is upholding the white...

Rest n peace.

You are right but only partially right. The foreign interests will do everything to keep Muslim countries down by empowering divisive troublemakers -- divide and rule. However, religion is not their only weapon. If religion is not available, they will use ethnicity or language. Just see what...

Fixed.

My point is that, if other countries start blacklisting competitors because of "national security", then it will start a war of protectionism. "National security" is a very seductive cover for governments to do all sort of things -- from domestic laws to international actions.

My viewpoint is that "might is right" is, and has been, the way of the world since the beginning of time. It's not a question of what I like or approve, that's just the way the world works, including the current "defenders of freedom". The term "legal" is just a fancy euphemism for "might is...

People are emotional: they will vote for somebody just because their last name is Bhutto or Sharif or Gandhi or Bush or Kennedy. But it's about having alternatives to put pressure on the dynastic parties.

I know that a lot of questionable characters have jumped on the PTI bandwagon. I don't like to see any feudals or anyone from the old parties in PTI, but Imran Khan can't stop them because he is not a dictator. The voters need to decide if someone is a reformer or just an old crook with new...

Yup. It smacks of protectionism. It's protectionism masquerading as 'national security'.

I agree with you that protests are usually a waste of time. People will judge PTI and IK by what they achieve in office, not their protests. Candidates should be selected based on their accomplishments and resume, not their family connections.

If the US has actionable intelligence, it should share it with the UK government, so the UK can make its own risk assessment. Bulling like this is silly.

You are right that IK is to PTI what ZAB was to PPP. If PTI becomes a dynastic mafia, then it will lose legitimacy and, hopefully, another party will come along to claim the mantle of meritocracy.

PTI is not a family-run mafia where the top spots are reserved for family members. Each candidate will be judged by their performance, not their genes. Just because people support Imran Khan and his ideas doesn't mean his son or cousin can expect a free ride to the top.

This debate comes up every few months. In thousands of years, India was united into one political entity once under the Mauryan Empire before the British gifted India a unified political entity. Talking of India as one country, one nation, one anything is about as ridiculous as talking of...

Irrelevant. Only see what's relevant to the topic.

PA may have fired first -- don't know -- but the violation of agreement came from India. An agreement is an agreement. The restrictions were in the agreement for a reason. India deliberately violated the agreement, knowing Pakistan would have to respond, and the situation would escalate.

There is nothing to humiliate. Everyone knows what kind of people are in PML-N, PPP. Pakistani public doesn't care. They like to talk but that's all -- just talk. When it's time to vote, they will bring back the same set of thieves, PML-N, PPP, PML-N, PPP, ...

I thought the world's hardest puzzle was to figure out what exactly is Will Ferrel's talent supposed to be!

If such activity was forbidden by the ceasefire agreement, then it means both sides considered it to be significant. The fact that India unilaterally violated that agreements means India started the provocation.

India started it.
