HUMAN SMUGGLING GANGS CAUSE REFUGEE CRISIS



The Guardian Newspaper revealed that a ring leader of al-Maskhou was attacked on Friday and eight other men in Tripoli’ suburbs of Furnaj by a strong hit squad and killed. The leader was reported to be killed but relatives announced him to be still alive.

At long last the government is looking behind the scenes of the refugee and migrants’ crisis. There is no doubt that there are some desperate refugees but there is also a great number sent by organised smugglers for whom it is a great business and this site has to be stopped.

Maskhou is from Zuwara, a port in north-west Libya and is a major place for smuggling hundreds of thousands of refugee and migrants.  There are reports that several men were killed and bullets recovered by a pathologist are Hydra-shok and only available to specialists.

Italy’s defence minister denied involvement

NATO officers also stated that there were military alliances behind it.

So far smuggling gangs were operating across Libya but since Libya DAWN put up checkpoints across the city and jeep patrolling the streets it curbed their activities to some extent.

It was only a day before the murders, when EU Foreign police chief, Frederica  Mogherini, said: “Operations against people smugglers will begin on 7 October, 2015.
A British warship will be involved in the aggressive naval operation

Suspecting a smuggling gang behind this hundreds of thousands refugees and migrants started a gathering of intelligence by EU naval and air, drones since June.  They also interfere with email and mobile post to find out the real smuggling gangs and their leaders.

Only last week EU navy recovered again 4,700 people off Zuwara. Huge amount of money are being made off the back of desperate people and breeds new powerful gangsters. They have even their own militia

A huge protest erupted in Zuwara against smugglers after dozens of bodies were washed up on the beach but the trade still continues.

Since the US and the West brought down the government on Libya; they also brought down law and order.

There are now two governments in Libya. Only the government in the east of the country has been recognised and stated that it has n control over Libya DAWN militia in Tripoli.

UN refugee agency (UNHCR) reported it is estimated that 129,000 people arrive in Italy from Libya this year and most of them come from Zuwara.

These people smugglers should have been stopped years ago or even over a decade. This influx of people should be grouped into two. One is refugees who are desperate people and need help and the other group migrants who are well fed and mostly men. They had been swarmed the EU for years and they do not look desperate but very determined mostly to reach the UK.

In Calais there are approx. 3,000 camping at any time trying by any means to get to the UK. Long-distance lorry drivers are scared for their lives because they threatened them with knives and guns. In the camp at night fights are breaking out regularly.  According to the lorry drivers they all have knives and guns. It does not sound a refugee who is desperate.

The pictures we saw of the two little boys washed up in the Italian beach broke everybody’s heart. The Father said that he is so upset that he will not stay in Europe and go back to Syria straight away.  Only a few days’ later reports came through that he was a smuggler.

Another report from a survivor on a Greek Island where the boat sunk  off the coast  and many people drowned stated that the boat’s owner put a hole in it himself. It is not known whether he survived.

Other reports revealed that the smugglers threw people over board at high sea because they feared the boat will sink.

There are no doubts, ruthless smugglers’ gangs operate and the refugees are at their mercies.

RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG BUT NOT AT TORIES HQ


GEORGE OSBORNE IN CHINA
This old saying is fundamental and that is how it should be but disregarded by the Tories when it suits them.

Chancellor George Osborne went to communist China with no Human Right whatsoever and tried to sell part of the H2S train project to them and most probably other projects.  

The same Tories labelled Ed Militant as “Red Ed” and this was partly to blame to bring the Labour win down in the last General Election. If Labour would of the same low and pathetic mentality they could not name Cameron and Osborne 'Red Dave' and 'Red George' but never hear that from them. Tories should outgrow there school habits of calling names. 

It would have been a total uproar caused by the Tories if Mr Corbyn, the new Labour leader, would go to China and sell them some of his project. 

Now a new scandal was found out that the Tories were alerted 11 months ago. A 60-page dossier was handed in on Volkswagen diesel emission scandal. It claimed that vehicles had been altered to pass laboratory tests.

The Volkswagen whistleblowers International Council of Clean Transportation showed 15 cars produced nitrogen oxides at an average of seven times the European legal limit. Volkswagen had to recall 500,000 vehicles and lost 18 per cent of their shares. The trust in Volkswagen was damaged unrepairable but who were the real guilty ones were Tory ministers who could have prevented the scandal. Was it done purposely and for several reasons?

DAVID CAMERO
AT OXFORD SUMMER BALL
Now the piggate scandal. Whether it was true or not we will never be told. It was revealed today, 26 Sept., 2015 in the Daily Mirror that David Cameron made several attempts to stop the publication of Lord Michael Ashcroft's book "Call Me Dave". Cameron also tried to nobble the co-author Isobel Oakshott to persuade her to pull out of it. 

However, one thing was confirmed by James Delingpole, a fellow student at the time of David Cameron at Oxford, that drugs were used. He even agrees with it today that drug abuse in Oxford Universities is a normal way of youth curiosity.

But it is wrong for those people bringing out laws and it is punishable with prison sentences.

Lord Sewell’s pictures of snorting drugs off the breast of a prostitute were all over the news papers but will he be punished and thrown out of the House of Lords.?

Other scandals were about signing in at the House of Lords and walking out soon after but claiming £300 a day and expenses. Some Lords were even in prison and on release went back to the House of Lords.

Any such wrong doing by Mr Average would have meant instant dismissal from the job.
Nobody was ever expelled from the House of Lords.

Now we are coming to the paedophile ring supposedly in Westminster. It was covered up in the 80s by top politicians of the Tory Government. For over the decades the victims, which were children at the time from orphanage and broken homes, tried to have the case opened up? A few years ago, Theresa May, Home Secretary, agreed to meet them at Downing Street, when they got there and waited two hours they were told that Ms May was unavailable because she flew to Brussels. The insult was dished out to victim of most horrific experiences.

Even today, it is still a cover-up because Ms May chaired for the third time a judge from New Zealand which claims it would till 2030 to publish the result. Personally, I think will it ever be?

How come that the police could work through quickly celebrities who committed the same crime and at the same period of time and they went to the court and are in prison now. Oh yes, Lord Janner was accused of paedophile activities and his court case was scheduled but now transferred to February. The problem with Lord Janner is being Labour and was at first excused for having dementia but later was found out that he organises dinner parties therefore his case was re-opened.  Let’s see what will happen in February.

To be sure there is a long, long list which could be added of all sort wrong doings.

TORIES STILL INCREASE DEBT Update 28 Jan., 2018


NEW CHANCELLOR PHILIP HAMMOND

Update 28 Jan., 2018 -- The National Debt has now reached an incredible £214,8trillion and May and Hammond carry on as if there was nothing wrong.



Year 2014/15 -- £1,615TRILLION

Update 25 July, 2017 --
Another increase and the National debt reached now £1.8trillion. Tories answer to it will be more cuts and increase tax to bring the debt down but the National Debt will still increase.  

Update 30 Nov., 2016 --
New Chancellor Philip Hammond is no better. In his budged he announced an increase of debts between £50 and £65billion. It would reach £2trillion soon with all the cuts and austerity the National debts goes up alarmingly. ?????? 

It is incredible what is going on.


UPDATE: 20 May, 2016
For the year 2014/15 the debt increased by £115billion

In my opinion everybody expected an increase of borrowing since Chancellor George Osborne grandiosely reduced the corporation tax. It also would not surprise anybody if Mr Osborne reduces the corporation tax even further at the same time when he cut Welfare by £12billion and insists on austerity.

Analysts expected in August 2015 the borrowing figure to be down to £9billion but it was £12.1billion which was disappointing.

So far the total debt stands at £1,56btrillion and at the end of August it was up by £69.9billion on a year earlier.
a So fr in 2015 the total debt amounts to £1,56trillion and is 81.58 per cent of GDP. UK has to pay a £43billion of interest on the debt which amounts to 8 percent of UK tax income. It looks like as if the National Debt will increase by the same amount by the end of 2020 as before by the Tories first five years in office. David Cameron stated that the debt came down and George Osborne stated that they cut the deficit in half. The must have held the charter upside down.

The Office of National Statistics (ONS) claims there is a fall of income tax paid in August and the corporation tax is also down. The reason of it is that Chancellor George Osborne reduced the corporation tax which now comes into effect.

A Treasury spokesperson said: “Britain hard work is paying off with cumulative borrowing. £4.4billion is lower at that point last year. We have more than halved the deficit but there is more to do with debt remaining higher than 80 per cent of GDP.”

But Vicky Redwood for Capital Economics said: “The figure bringing the recent run of good news for the Chancellor to an abrupt end.”

The public sector net borrowing total of £12.1billion was significantly higher than the consensus forecast of £9.2billion.

The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts in July that the £89,2billion in previous year.

“The government apparently to be making slow progress in reducing the bad deficit,” said Ross Campbell from the Institute of chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
“Sorting out public finance depends on robust tax receipts, so it is disappointing to see corporation and income tax revenues decrease.”

“The Spend Reviews in November is looking at expenditure but it must also take into account what income can be recouped or we risk turning deficit reduction into a three parliament problem.”

HURRICANE KATRINA DEVASTED NEW ORLEANS 10 YEARS AGO

Ten years ago one of the most ferocious hurricanes crossed Florida and headed for New Orleans in 2005. 

It was well forecasted and President Bush should have organised an evacuation. He failed the people and over 2,000 people lost their lives. Even after the catastrophe help with clean water and food was not as quickly as it should have been. 80 per cent of the New Orleans was under water.

After all these failures it makes one asked how on earth has he got the nerve to go there for the 10th anniversary?

Even the reconstruction of the town was mainly due to President Obama. Businesses emerged again and tourist started coming to visit the famous city for its jazz music, unique food and party culture.




During the last years President Obama visited the city nine times also when he was campaigning for the presidency in 2008 and criticised the Bush administration.

On the Anniversary, President Obama visited the Lower Ninth Ward on Thursday. The residents are mostly African-Americans and still recovering from the disaster. 

The community centre stands out as a symbol of the extra ordinary resilience of this city and its people.  Two British tourists who were caught up in it stated, when they came back, that the tension in the community centre was unbearably.  They were scared that the light would fail and the place became the scene of mass murder and robbery.  Luckily the light kept on.

The radio station WW2 kept a running commentary during the storm approaching Florida and claimed nine lives so far. It picked up strength and was predicted to head towards Florida panhandle, the north-west strip of the state.  Dave from the radio station thought the worst of the weather was over.  He told his team “we can stand down and stay off high alert from now on.”

But 72 hours later New Orleans was under water.




Even after the disaster there were desperate calls for food and safe water for days.

Bush administration failed these people terribly. 

It is another disaster when UK people were giving freely and millions of pounds were collected but apparently never reached the needy. Again these people must be thinking the world did not care but collection was put out all over the world and ordinary people gave with a good heart.  Question should be asked what happened to the money. It should be found and given to the people it was intended for and still struggling to rebuild their lives.
