AYO GORKHALI

All I can say is WELL DONE THAT MAN !

WIGAN PATRIOT SUPPORTS THE GURKHAS -

Gurkha ordered back to UK after beheading dead Taliban fighter :


"A Gurkha soldier has been flown back to the UK after hacking the head off a dead Taliban commander with his ceremonial knife to prove the dead man’s identity.

The private, from 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles, was involved in a fierce firefight with insurgents in the Babaji area of central Helmand Province when the incident took place earlier this month.

His unit had been told that they were seeking a ‘high value target,’ a Taliban commander, and that they must prove they had killed the right man.

The Gurkhas had intended to remove the Taliban leader’s body from the battlefield for identification purposes.

But they came under heavy fire as their tried to do so. Military sources said that in the heat of battle, the Gurkha took out his curved kukri knife and beheaded the dead insurgent.

He is understood to have removed the man’s head from the area, leaving the rest of his body on the battlefield.

This is considered a gross insult to the Muslims of Afghanistan, who bury the entire body of their dead even if parts have to be retrieved.

British soldiers often return missing body parts once a battle has ended so the dead can be buried in one piece.

A source said: ‘Removing the head in this way was totally inappropriate.’

Army sources said that the soldier, who is in his early 20s, initially told investigators that he unsheathed his kukri – the symbolic weapon of the Gurkhas – after running out of ammunition.

But later the Taliban fighter was mutilated so his identity could be verified through DNA tests.

The source said: ‘The soldier has been removed from duty and flown home. There is no sense of glory involved here, more a sense of shame. He should not have done what he did.’

The incident, which is being investigated by senior commanders, is hugely embarrassing to the British Army, which is trying to build bridges with local Afghan communities who have spent decades under ­Taliban rule.

It comes just days after a rogue Afghan soldier murdered three British troops from the same Gurkha regiment.

If the Gurkha being investigated by the Army is found guilty of beheading the dead enemy soldier, he will have contravened the Geneva Conventions which dictate the rules of war. Soldiers are banned from demeaning their enemies.

The Gurkha now faces disciplinary action and a possible court martial. If found guilty, he could be jailed.

He is now confined to barracks at the Shorncliffe garrison, near Folkestone, Kent.

The incident happened as the Gurkha troop was advancing towards a hostile area before engaging the enemy in battle.

Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, said: ‘In this case, it appears that the ­soldier was not acting maliciously, but his actions were clearly ill-judged.

‘The Gurkhas are a very fine regiment with a proud tradition of service in the British forces and have fought very bravely in Afghanistan.

'I have no doubt that this behaviour would be as strongly condemned by the other members of that regiment, as it would by all soldiers in the British forces.’

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: ‘We are aware of an incident and have informed the Afghan authorities. An inves-t­igation is underway and it would not be appropriate to comment further until this is concluded.’

The Ministry also revealed yesterday that four British servicemen had been killed in Afghanistan in 24 hours.

An airman from the RAF Regiment died in a road accident near Camp Bastion in Helmand and a marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines was killed in an explosion in Sangin on Friday.

A Royal Dragoon Guard died in a blast in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province yesterday. The fourth serviceman also died in an explosion.

The British death toll in the Afghan campaign since 2001 is now 322.

Afghan troops trained by the British Army recently led a major operation into a Taliban stronghold.

It was one of the first operations organised by the Afghan National Army.

Regiment’s proud symbol of valour

The iconic kukri knife used by the Gurkhas can be a weapon or a tool. It is the traditional utility knife of the Nepalese people, but is mainly known as a symbolic weapon for Gurkha regiments all over the world.

The kukri signifies courage and valour on the battlefield and is sometimes worn by bridegrooms during their wedding ceremony.

The kukri’s heavy blade enables the user to inflict deep wounds and to cut muscle and bone with one stroke.

It can also be used in stealth operations to slash an enemy’s throat, killing him instantly and silently.

What chance do we have when we are told to fight a PC war against a Battle Hardened ISLAMIST TALIBAN?

GIVE THIS MAN MEDAL AND GET BEHIND HIM - SHOW HIM YOUR SUPPORT IN WHATEVER WAY YOU CAN.



MICKEY MOUSE TEACHING

The extravagence of teachers spending taxpayers money on so called educational trips even in these times of economic difficulties seems to know no bounds. The "educational" trips to Disneyland which cost about £500 for each teacher not counting flight and luxury hotel costs have even shocked SOME Labour councillors. The trips were of course taken in school time as teachers holidays are not long enough to fit these trips in and in any case they were work. The total costs for the four teachers from Abraham Guest school plus an unspecified number from the Deanery must run into several thousands of pounds. On top of that perhaps supply teachers had to be taken on to cover for the absent "working" teachers.
I know of schools in the area who lack books and other essential equipment but evidently this visit to Florida is more important than Maths, English and Physics.
As shown in the cutting below the course is full of meaningless jargon incorporating the word "skills" which is always a give away for PC nonsence. Knowledge is what schools should provide. You get "Skills" later in the workplace.
Those who authorised this jolly shold be sacked for wasting taxpayers money.
Do they really think one pupil (not student) will benefit in the slightest or gain a better pass mark?
Oh, perhaps they will as most courses nowadays at school and even university are aptly called "Mickey Mouse" qualifications and are thus useless in obtaining a job
AND YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE UNEMPLOYED.
I SUGGEST THESE TEACHERS JOIN THEM

CIVIL WAR - THE FUTURE OF EUROPE ?

Will you be ready for this ?





Islamists are already emboldened by the lack of Political Will to contain them.
We are already under attack yet nothing is said, serious Islamist and "RACIST" attacks upon us go largely unreported or under reported.
The Police turn on us when we complain, with jackboot and fist.
The powers that be drag us through the courts, enforce Islamists "RIGHTS" to call for murder and mayhem on our streets.
Allow our HEROIC SOLDIERS to be spat on and abused at their homecoming parades with Police Protection.
Those arrested are from the INDIGENOUS POPULATION when they try and fight back against their lands and people being abuse and dispossessd.
Isn't it time we stood up and be counted ?

The predicted future in the film need not happen.
It all depends on what Politics and Politicians do, and we know what they are doing and it's not in OUR INTERESTS.
We need Politicians who only have the best interests of the Country and People at it's heart.
Their is only one Political party who will be able to turn things around, but it needs everyone's support.
UNITED STAND, Divided we fall.
