More on this story. "Terrorists in Pakistan planning over 20 attacks on Britain, says Gordon Brown," by James Kirkup for the Telegraph, December 14:
The Prime Minister named Pakistan as a haven for terrorists planning attacks in Britain, revealing that around three quarters of the most advanced plots monitored by MI5 are have Pakistani links.
Officials say that the Security Service is aware of around 30 serious plots at any given moment, suggesting that at least 21 of them are tied to Pakistani groups. [...]
Many known terrorists including Mohammed Siddique Khan, ringleader of the 7/7 bombings, are known to have trained at al-Qaeda inspired camps in the Pakistani border areas.
In a private meeting Mr Brown told Mr Zardari he must do more to close those camps.
Mr Brown also announced increased British support for Pakistani counter-terrorism work, including greater support for Pakistani police work on detecting and defusing bombs.
The UK will also fund more scanning equipment at Pakistani airports
British police will also work with their Pakistani counterparts providing help with forensic science and contingency planning for major terrorist incidents.
Fund First, Ask Questions Later Alert:
There will also be a £6 million British fund to help Pakistan counter the radicalization of young Muslims.
The Prime Minister said his aim was to form "the most comprehensive anti-terror programme Britain has with any country".
Mr Brown said: "I want to help Pakistan root out terrorism. It is right that we help Pakistan root out terrorism."
He added: "People know that what can happen in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan can affect directly what happens on the streets of our towns. I want to remove the chain of terror."
Mr Brown also demanded Pakistan do more to stop miliants moving over the border into Afghanistan to attack British troops.
He added: "People know that what can happen in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan can affect directly what happens on the streets of our towns.
Must have something to do with the altitude.
It gets them closer to Allah.
Request to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Please keep Muslim's off the mountains.
Mr Brown said: "I want to help Pakistan root out terrorism.
Best way to is mass conversion away from islam.
I used to believe there were 'men in suits' who would step in when matters in the UK went beyond a certain point. I used to believe it was these folk who bumped off Diana because she was planning to marry a Muslim (not that I approved of that murder btw.) But Shariah Law has arrived in the UK, and successive PMs continue to bleat like dhimmi sheep, and yet I hear not a sound from these folk. It must've all been a figment of my imagination...
And I'm sure that the £6m from Flash Gordon will certainly help them with their cause, allowing them to buy superior weaponry with which to cause mass destruction, not forgetting more funding to train more Jihadists. Great thinking there Gordon, you really are on the ball with this one aren't you.
Flash Gordon! I like it, however he also reminds me of an old comic song about a shipwreck.
Most Victorian Music Hall songs have an earthy sub-text not understood by people today and the chorus of this song went,
The bravest man was Captain Brown
Who played his ukulele as the ship went down.
Playing the ukulele requires the player to make short, quick, up and down movements with his right hand..............
Britain and the US are two cows that can be milked by Pakistan at its pleasure. They are laughing at us.
Here's one for you Fred 'off the cuff' as such:
The man is a moron, nothing less!
uk still wants to import 5000 butchers from pakistan to provide halal meat. one of these butchers will assist in butchering innocent people. these politicians need their head examined.
Mr. Brown said: "I want to help Pakistan root out terrorism."
Too late, Mr. Brown. The terrorists have already rooted out Pakistan.
Mr Brown also demanded Pakistan do more to stop miliants moving over the border into Afghanistan to attack British troops...
Why is it that 'demands' from the west always are accompanied by a big check?
I like Teddy Roosevelt's method better...'Talk softly and carry a big stick'.
Pakistan does not need money, it needs compliance training...
"There will also be a £6 million British fund to help Pakistan counter the radicalization of young Muslims..."
Duh, like how will that be done? You've got me there, Gordie ol' boy. By bribing the imams to go easy on the jihad, maybe? Unfortunately a mere six million pounds wont go a very long way to satiate a brigade of imams with squads of wives and platoons of offspring. It will only feed a greed for more infidel money. And not to forget that the intended beneficiaries are past-masters at fudging accounts and diverting funds. Be a leetle more stingy with taxpayer money, Mr Brown. You may go down in History as a statesman yet.
The Prime Minister said his aim was to form "the most comprehensive anti-terror programme Britain has with any country".

Mr brown, meet Mr. Bean; Mr. Bean, your new pupil Mr. brown.
Mr. Bean, you need to know that brown has trouble learning -- go easy and slowly over the material.
Yes, mr brown is rather thick, what?
Mr Bean would quite possibly do a better job than Mr Brown. Mr Bean knows exactly what is at stake in this war - our freedom.
Here is what Mr Bean said two years ago, to The Times, when the bill to suppress freedom of speech was being debated; a marvellous letter, which was shared with us at jihadwatch by a poster named 'shiva':
'Rowan Atkinson's letter to The Times of London - Published Wednesday, October 17, 2006
' RELIGION AS A FIT SUBJECT FOR COMEDY
'From Mr. Rowan Atkinson
'Sir,
' I hope that I am not the only person in the creative arts who feels great disquiet about the proposals outlined by the Home Secretary in the Commons today, to introduce legislation to outlaw what has been described as 'incitement to religious hatred' (reports, October 16).
'Having spent a substantial part of my career parodying religious figures from my own Christian background, I am aghast at the notion that it could, in effect, be made illegal to imply ridicule of a religion or to lampoon religious figures.
'Supporters of the proposed legislation would presumably say that neither I, nor any of my colleagues in the comedy world, are its intended targets,
'but laws governing highly subjective or moral issues tend to drag a very fine net, and some of the most basic freedoms of speech and expression can get caught up in it.
'I have always believed that there should be no subject about which one cannot make jokes, religion included.
'Clearly, one is always constricted by contemporary mores and trends because, after all, what one seeks above all is an appreciative audience.
'However, would a film like 'Monty Python's Life of Brian,' criticized at the time of its release for being anti-Christian, be judged under the proposed law?
'Or that excellent joke in 'Not the Nine O'Clock news' all those years ago, showing worshippers in a mosque simultaneously bowing to the ground with the voiceover: 'And the search goes on for the Ayatollah Khomeini's contact lens'?
'Not respectful, but comedy takes no prisoners.
'However, in period and in context it was extremely funny and I believe that it is the reaction of the audience that should decide the appropriateness of a joke, not the law of the land.
'For telling a good and incisive religious joke, you should be praised.
'For telling a bad one, you should be ridiculed and reviled.
'The idea that you could be prosecuted for the telling of either is quite fantastic."
'Yours faithfully, ROWAN ATKINSON - October 15 2006"

Does anybody in the UK know what Mr Bean is up to, these days? Perhaps he should be persuaded to join the Resistance.
Only 20? More is better. This would be terrorism agaisnt Islam since the UK is already a Muslim country.
