Hyndburn Foreign Policy II

Tealeaf · 28-08-2012, 17:12

Oh Dear! It would now appear that our elected representatives – not being satisfied with taking up the cause of the Islamic terrorists of Kashmir are now extending the Borough’s foreign policy sphere of influence. The honourable member for Hyndburn has apparently written to the foreign office to voice his concerns about the treatment of the terrorist Rohingya people of Burma.
Anyway, here’s the link to the local rag:

Of all the people in all the world who suffer from various degrees of oppression, I wonder why Mr Jones has chosen this lot. Why not the Coptic Christians of Egypt...or the Christians of Pakistan? What does he have to say about the 11 year old Christian girl in Pakistan, accused of burning the Koran and despite her learning difficulties, is shortly due to be executed. Why does he not open his gob about that and get his statement in the LT?

Oh dear Lord.

Give me the strength to carry on the fight.

What about making a big stink about the appalling human rights abuses, in countries where women are third class citizens, and people are regularly killed because they happen to love someone of an unacceptable gender, in many, many Islamic countries throughout the world?

Come on Jones, why not start attacking the vile attrocities carried out in Saudi Arabia?

Or Pakistan, say?

Why's Burma any different?

Not many registered voters of Burmese heritage, here in Hyndburn?

Tap, tap, tap.

There goes another nail in the coffin.

I'd guess 95% of your constituents couldn't give a flying fig what's happening in Burma, when they have what they'd consider so many other real worries, much closer to home.

Ya only this morning it was reported that 17 people including 2 women had been beheaded in Afghanistan, for the hyenas crime of enjoying themselves, pity he's not a tad worried about that.

Aye...I wonder how many Afgan refugees we've got in Hyndburn and how many Burmese?

Look, Jay, you've been told about this before. When you get the notion of using one of those clever, posh words like "heinous" just ask an adult first!

garinda · 28-08-2012, 18:19

Wasn't this other out of touch, wanna-be big shot politican, something of a Burmese freedom fighter too?

You live, and learn.

Well, some do.

Approximately 95%.

Some don't.

Hey up....it gets better. It looks like he's been mucking about on the West Bank. I wonder who paid for this little jaunt...Hamas (in other words, Syria or Iran)...the Israeli's (I doubt it)...or the tax payer (me and thee)?

Here it is:

Graham Jones MP: Israeli soldiers break the silence on abuse

By the way, can anyone tell me what is the predominate religion of the Palestinians?

Well it looked right when I had a bee (oh no not bee) in my bonnet

Could have cheetah-ed at cards... if they had the hippo-rtunity.

I wonder how long it will be before Mr Jones joins Mr Galloway's Respect Party?

Am I right in assuming that there are no problems in Hyndburn serious or pressing enough to merit the attention of the Honorable Member?

None at all Eric, everything is Hunky Dory.

I think you'll find they're Muslim.

Suprisingly.

Odd that.

You reckon there's a definite theme developing here, regarding li'l ol' Hyndburn's internationalist policies?

Anti-Indian.

Anti-Zionist.

Perhaps if Ivan the Terrible has been a Muslim, Hyndburn would be backing him one hundred percent.

If there were votes in it.
