A town famous for honouring dead British soldiers returning from Afghanistan
reacted defiantly today to news that a controversial Islamic group is to march
through its streets.

Islam4UK – which calls itself a ‘platform’ for extremist movement al-Muhajiroun
- plans to parade through Wootton Bassett, in Wiltshire, in the coming weeks.

The group’s website says the event is being held ‘not in memory of the occupying
and merciless British military’ but of the Muslims its says have been ‘murdered
in the name of democracy and freedom’.

Leader Anjem Choudary said today the protest, involving 500 people, would be
peaceful one, with ’symbolic coffins’ being carried to honour Muslim victims of
the conflict.

But the walk will not coincide with the return of a dead soldier’s body, added
Mr Choudary, 42, a former lawyer from East London

Ex-mayor and councillor Chris Wannell said today: ‘We don’t do what we do at
Wootton Bassett for any political reason at all, but to pay our respects to
those who have given their lives for our freedom.

‘We are a Christian country and a traditional old English market town who honour
very much our Queen and country. We obey the law and pay respects to our
servicemen who protect our freedom.

‘If this man has any decency about him he will not hold a march through Wootton
Bassett.’

North Wiltshire MP James Gray said: ‘I’ve seen in the past assorted groups
threaten to march, but they don’t actually do it. I wouldn’t think they’d get
permission from the police.

‘The people of Wootton Bassett are not interested in politics. They will say,
these are foolish people making a silly point – we’ll get on with our ordinary
lives thank you.

‘This also misunderstands the nature of what the people of Wootton Bassett do.
They are not blood-thirstily in favour of the war. Most people would say they
were not qualified to comment on the rightness or wrongness.

‘The people of Wootton Bassett are decent, quiet, pragmatic people and they’ll
stay at home instead (of reacting to the march).’

Secretary of Wootton Bassett British Legion Anne Bevis urged the group to
reconsider.

She told the Swindon Advertiser: ‘I would say however, that I do hope members of
this group think long and hard about the rights of the people of Wootton Bassett
before going ahead with their proposal.

‘The repatriations have never been political. We turn out to pay our respects to
those who have lost their lives and support the families who must carry on
without them.’

A spokeswoman for Wiltshire Police said it respected the right to peaceful
protest but would deal with any breach of the law appropriately.

THIS BETTER NOT HAPPEN!!!

The CIA and the White House are watching nervously as political and public pressure builds in Britain for the truth to be told about the British role in facilitating the “rendition” of suspects to CIA “black” sites and to pro-Western Middle East intelligence services that routinely use torture.

Just like the clamor that forced the British government to launch an open inquiry into the Iraq war there is now similar pressure for a major investigation into whether the British government of Tony Blair permitted British intelligence services to participate in the rendition process and allowed the CIA to house “ghost detainees” at Britain’s Diego Garcia air base in the Indian Ocean.

A human rights committee set up by both Houses of the British Parliament waded into the fray on August 4, 2009, with a report calling on the government to order an independent inquiry into whether Britain was complicit in the alleged torture of detainees.

The committee also issued a stinging criticism of the government for trying to avoid parliamentary scrutiny of the issue. Some commentators in Britain believe this could have the effect of blowing the lid on rendition and torture.


Sir John Chilcot, chairman of the Iraq Inquiry, speaks at a news conference on July 30 in London. The head of a British inquiry into the Iraq war said he will call former Prime Minister Tony Blair and Bush administration officials to testify, but acknowledged it
is unlikely that they would give any real evidence.

Craig Murray, a former British diplomat, told the committee that when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, she ordered the intelligence services to disregard any evidence, that they knew had been acquired under torture. But Tony Blair changed that policy after 9-11. David Davis, a former shadow cabinet minister, reacted to the committee’s recommendations by saying he was certain Blair and his successor, Gordon Brown, had seen evidence of Britain’s “clear violations of its international obligations.”

For months, the Obama White House has grown increasingly concerned that a British inquiry into rendition could expose the history of the program and how the CIA did business with intelligence services that tortured.  Recently, Obama instructed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to impress upon her British counterpart, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, the need for the British government to keep rendition and intelligence acquisition classified matters. After Clinton met Miliband in Washington, he declared publicly that the U.S. and Britain had a unique intelligence sharing relationship based on “fundamental principle that they did not disclose each other’s intelligence publicly.” Nevertheless, deep down Miliband must have known the rendition train had already left the station.

Most British politicians have made it clear they are fed up with the drip-drip of information from government since 2005 when the practice of rendition was first made public. It took years for the government to admit that at least two renditions took place through Diego Garcia.

Now, MPs want to know why the Diego Garcia flight records for 2002 to 2008 have vanished without trace. A further scandal has erupted over revelations that the British intelligence agency, MI5, may have been aware of the torture in Morocco of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Binyamin Mohammed. Two high court judges have already said, from evidence they reviewed, they believe MI5 sent the CIA questions to ask Mohammed while he was being interrogated.

In 2005, Blair and his then foreign secretary, Jack Straw, gave the House of Commons an assurance that Britain had never played any role in the rendition of suspects.  In 2008, David Miliband was forced to apologize to Parliament, saying the assurance given by Blair and Straw had been inaccurate. That was followed by the home secretary publicly admitting in February 2009 that Britain had played a separate role in the rendition of two suspects from Iraq to U.S. custody in Afghanistan.  There have also been questions asked in Parliament about a “ghost detainee,” Mustafa Naser, whose whereabouts have remained a mystery since 2005. His wife has hired British lawyers to pursue the case of her husband because one of their children was born in Britain. Naser is Spanish and a Spanish judge has also launched an investigation into his disappearance. Two retired CIA officers have told Naser’s lawyers he was in CIA custody in 2005 before being transferred to Syrian intelligence for interrogation. The Spanish authorities have sources that suggest he may still be held somewhere in Syria.

One of the cases that may open up the British role in the CIA’s rendition program is that of Mohammed Madni, who was pulled off the streets of Jakarta in Indonesia in January, 2002, beaten and placed in American custody. His lawyers say he was put in a coffin and flown by way of Diego Garcia to Cairo where he was tortured by Egyptian intelligence. Later he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay and eventually released without charge. According to Madni, the authorities at Guantanamo admitted they had made a mistake and told him that when he was arrested in 2002 he had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If the British government is forced through a court order to admit that Madni was rendered through Diego Garcia, it will open the floodgates to a series of legal actions that could place Britain in the dock of the European Human Rights Court. As Madni’s lawyers have pointed out, if the Blair government knew suspects were being sent for interrogation to countries like Syria and Egypt, they also knew it was not for a Club Med experience.

The ongoing cases in Britain of men who were rendered is very worrying for Washington because it could shine a light into one of the most questionable and secret programs of the Bush era, especially the CIA’s use of what were termed “black sites.” They were facilities housed within prisons, detainee camps and on board ships in international waters.

While Diego Garcia is believed to have housed at least two major al Qaeda suspects, other sites included “the Salt Pit,” an old brick factory outside Kabul in Afghanistan, which was used as a prison but had a sealed off section given over to the CIA. Szymany Airport in Poland, a former Soviet base, was another CIA interrogation and holding center. “Temara,” an interrogation center within the headquarters of the Moroccan security service, was the place where the British detainee, Binyam Mohamed, was held for 18 months. His British lawyers have assembled a large file of information about his captivity including years he later spent at Guantanamo. They claim that while he was being tortured in Morocco his genitals were sliced with a knife. Two other CIA “black sites” were located within the Eagle Base in Bosnia and the Ariana Hotel in the center of Kabul, which has been under CIA control since 2001. Camp Bucca, a detainee holding facility in Iraq, close to the border with Kuwait, had within it a classified area used only by the CIA. It was sometimes visited by members of allied and foreign intelligence services. The two U.S. ships that had CIA interrogation facilities were the USS Bataan and the USS Peleliu. The Bataan was previously used as a floating prison and rendition site during the Clinton era, which raises questions about how long rendition has been a secret practice.

Many focus on the Bush era as though rendition began then. But it clearly did not. During Bill Clinton’s presidency, suspects were also “disappeared” and sent to countries like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia for interrogation. That is why the ObamaWhite House and the CIA fear a wide-ranging investigation of rendition in Europe. It could potentially open up a can of worms and it might prove difficult to put the lid back on.

When Blair was challenged recently about rendition, he shocked the Obama White House by suggesting Obama would probably continue using aspects of rendition. Some of Blair’s critics in Britain said it was a typical example of Blair turning the spotlight on others to shield himself. Of course, Blair has more to worry about than Obama, Bush or Clinton. He sits at the heart of Europe with a court system that would not flinch from trying him for crimes against humanity if evidence pointed to his guilt. Some British lawyers argue that, if it could be shown Blair approved rendition that led to torture, he could be brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. From Obama’s perspective, he has made it clear he does not wish to dwell on the past because it could divide the country and complicate his presidency. However, the British inquiry into the Iraq War has the potential to produce startling revelations and if the rendition program was exposed too through yet another inquiry, both those events could force Obama’s hand.

A group of around 20 men in traditional Islamic dress held up banners and placards that read: “Anglian Soldiers Butchers of Basra”, “Anglian Soldiers Criminals, Murderers Terrorists” and “Baby killers”.

As the battalion, which is nicknamed The Poachers, reached Luton Town Hall the small group shouted and yelled “Terrorists” and “Anglian Soliders Go to Hell.”

The protestors then had to be protected by police as angry supporters of the soldiers turned on them shouting: “Scum” and “No surrender to the Taliban.”

As the parade finished in St George’s Square in front of the Duke of Gloucester, Colonel-in-chief for the regiment, the Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, Sam Whitbread, a General Sir John McColl KCB and the Mayor of Luton, Councillor Lakhbir Singh, police had to force the protestors into a small area reserved for them by the town’s Arndale Shopping Centre.

Two lines of police officers protected the anti-war protestors from a large number of locals, some waving Union and St George’s flags, who turned their attention to them rather than the inspection of the soldiers by the dignitaries. There was a stand off between the two any groups who yelled insults at each other.

Police dogs and riot vans were also called to the scene to keep the two sides apart.

In all 200 soldiers led by a military band marched through Luton to mark their return home from a second six-month tour of Iraq in two years.

Luton’s Mayor Councillor Lakhbir Singh said: “The Royal Anglian Regiment was given freedom of the town some years ago and we are proud to welcome them back. We hope as many people as possible will come out and show their support and appreciation of these brave soldiers.”

Prince Harry’s racist remark about a Pakistani member of his army platoon has prompted widespread criticism.

The prince issued an apology after the News of the World published a video diary in which he calls one of his then Sandhurst colleagues a “Paki”.

An Army spokesperson said it took the allegations “very seriously” and were investigating.

Cabinet minister John Denham said it was “offensive” and the Ramadhan Foundation called the prince a “thug”.

St James’s Palace said he had used the term about a friend and without malice.

In a statement the Army said: “The Army does not tolerate inappropriate behaviour in any shape or form,” a spokesperson for the force added.

“All substantive allegations are investigated. This specific case will be dealt with in line with normal Army procedures.”

‘Unfortunate timing’

The prince filmed parts of the video and in another clip, he is heard calling another cadet a “raghead”.

He had to apologize in 2005 for wearing a swastika armband to a party, which offended many Jewish people.

The video obtained by the News of the World shows Harry while still an officer cadet at Sandhurst military academy.

It was filmed in front of other cadets at an airport departure lounge as they waited for a flight to Cyprus to go on manoeuvres.

The newspaper said the prince, who is third in line to the throne, had called the soldier “our little Paki friend”.

BBC royal correspondent Daniela Relph said this was an extremely embarrassing episode for the prince and the Royal Family.

She said the emergence of the three-year-old video was “unfortunate timing” for Harry, whose image had greatly improved since he served in Afghanistan last year.

“That was a real step up for him, a real sense of maturity that people could see,” she said.

‘Absolutely disgusting’

Politicians and Muslim groups are among those to have condemned the prince’s remarks.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said the words would have caused “considerable offence”, while Tory leader David Cameron said it was “a completely unacceptable thing to say”.

Aki Nawaz, musician and political activist, said: “It’s absolutely disgusting and I think he should be dismissed from the MoD. We don’t accept these things, we’ve had to live with this for 40 years.”

A statement from St James’s Palace, with regards the term “Paki”, said: “Prince Harry fully understands how offensive this term can be, and is extremely sorry for any offence his words might cause.

“However, on this occasion three years ago, Prince Harry used the term without any malice and as a nickname about a highly popular member of his platoon.

“There is no question that Prince Harry was in any way seeking to insult his friend.”

The statement continued: “Prince Harry used the term ‘raghead’ to mean Taleban or Iraqi insurgent.”

A man told BBC Radio Five Live the cadet concerned was his nephew, Ahmed Raza Khan, from Pakistan, who served with Prince Harry at Sandhurst for one year as a Commonwealth cadet.

Iftikhar Raja said his nephew, now a captain in the Pakistani army, would have risen above such terms and had not mentioned the incident to his family.

Mr Raja said: “At no time he told us that he was called Paki or he was a good friend of Prince Harry, I mean, although they served together that is true.

“But I myself am a British subject, I am proud to be British and if someone called me Pakistani I would be proud to be called that, but Paki is definitely a derogatory remark.”

He added: “We expect better from our Royal Family on whom we spend millions and millions of pounds for training and schooling.”

Captain Ahmed Raza Khan graduated with Harry from Sandhurst in 2006 receiving a special award from the Queen for being the best overseas officer cadet.

‘Disturbing allegations’

The Army has been trying to recruit soldiers from ethnic minority backgrounds as these are currently under-represented in the services.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence said: “Neither the Army nor the Armed Forces tolerates inappropriate behaviour in any shape or form.

“The Army takes all allegations of inappropriate behaviour very seriously and all substantive allegations are investigated.

“We are not aware of any complaint having been made by the individual. Bullying and racism are not endemic in the Armed Forces.”

A spokeswoman for the Equality and Human Rights Commission said: “These appear to be disturbing allegations and we will be asking the MoD to see the evidence, share that evidence with us and their plans for dealing with it.

“We will then consider what further action might be necessary.”

Today marks remembrance Sunday in the United Kingdom, the day that we pay tribute and remember our war dead. 

Nordwave Britain is wholly against the slaughter of British Soldiers for the advancement of Alien Interests such as Israel. 

This is down to the corrupt politicians like David Miliband and Gordon Brown who believe in using British youth to police nations that refuse to comply with their New World Order.

That said respect the veteran’s disserve our utmost respect and we will always remember them, we will remember the communist politicians come the day.

We would also like to ask the readers of Nordwave Britain to remember the fallen of Germany and other European Axis soldiers during the Second World War practically those who’d fought and died against Soviet Union and the great evil that is communism.

Your fight against communism meant that many Western European people lived free from the yoke that is Marxism.

As well as those civilians who were Murdered & Raped by at the hands of communist war criminals (lead by Jewish Officers) we will remember you.

The US President-elect Barack Obama has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons and lending support to terrorist organizations.

“Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon I believe is unacceptable. We have to mount an international effort to prevent that from happening.” Obama said at his first press conference since winning Tuesday’s presidential election.

Obama also said, “Iran’s support of terrorist organizations, I think, is something that has to cease.”

He also pointed to a congratulatory message he received from President Ahmadinejad following his historic victory over Republican John McCain.

“I will be reviewing the letter from President Ahmadinejad and we will respond appropriately,” he noted.

A PUZZLED poppy seller from Weymouth has spoken of her shock after being told to pack up and go home by police.

Jan Hinton, 51, has been visiting homes collecting for the Royal British Legion in Littlemoor for the last decade.

She was left stunned when police warned her to stop selling poppies after dark and to stop collecting around Hallowe’en.

Mrs Hinton and poppy partner Charlotte Warren-Sinclaire, 16, were visiting properties in Honeysuckle Close when they were approached.

“The officers said they had received reports of suspicious callers,” she said.

“We understand they have to answer all calls so we showed them our identification badges, our tins and our poppy trays.

“We even had certificates from our Royal British Legion area representative, but it didn’t seem to matter.

“They just told us to stop. They told us not to collect after dark and not to collect this week because it’s Hallowe’en.

“They said if we carried on they’d pull the plug on the Royal British Legion doing house-to-house collections.

“I thought I was hearing it wrong.”

Mrs Hinton, of Culliford Way, said collecting during daylight hours – and avoiding the Hallowe’en period – was impossible.

She said: “Charlotte is at college and everyone’s at work in the day. We don’t collect past 8pm anyway.

“We don’t collect on Hallowe’en night or bonfire night and we don’t do weekends because people don’t appreciate it, so that only gives us eight days.

“We can only collect house-to-house. We’re not licensed street sellers, we have to knock on people’s doors. What else are we supposed to do? I’ve never known anything like it.”

Mrs Hinton said she informed police when and where she would be selling and gave contact details.

“I guess the officers were aggravated because they had to come out and investigate,” she added. We expect to see police cars when we’re out but we never expected that reaction.”

Littlemoor councillor Mark Tewkesbury said: “Why should these people be stopped from selling poppies all of a sudden? It’s just wrong.

“Jan’s been doing it for 11 years. She’d notified the police beforehand and it just seems bizarre to me.”

A Dorset Police spokesman said: “We received a call from a member of the public that we followed up.

“Many people, particularly the elderly, are genuinely worried about bogus callers and we encourage them to notify police if they are concerned.

“I cannot comment on what the officers said but we were quite satisfied that it was nothing untoward. We do not have any problem whatsoever with legitimate collecting of this kind.”

DESCENDANTS of HMS Victory’s skipper at the Battle of Trafalgar are fighting to stop the MoD selling off the historic warship.

Captain Thomas Hardy’s family fear the vessel could be turned into a “Disney-style” attraction.

The Navy spends £1.5million a year on the upkeep of its flagship, which lures 500,000 visitors a year in Portsmouth.

And the Ministry of Defence is looking at funding options — which could include selling it to a private firm.

But Hardy descendant James Smith, 23 — a naval consultant — said: “To sell the Victory would be an attack on the Navy’s soul.

“It shows what a crisis the Navy is in. The ship is a matter of national pride. We are going to fight to protect her.

“If a third party is allowed to buy the ship, who knows what will happen to her? She could just be turned into some tacky theme park.

“If the MoD won’t pay for it we will try and raise the £1.5million ourselves.”

Lord Nelson died on the Victory saving England from invasion by Napoleon in 1805.

His famous last words to his flag captain as he lay shot after routing the French and Spanish fleets were: “Kiss me, Hardy.”

The MoD has said the 249-year-old vessel would remain the flagship for the Navy’s Commander-in-Chief — her official role since 1889.

Second Sea Lord Vice-Admiral Alan Massey insisted: “There has never been any suggestion of giving her away or decommissioning her.

“The speculation concerns a study which seeks to guarantee the long-term future of HMS Victory.”
