Jahingir Hanif was shown to have handled a military style rifle during a trip to Pakistan three years ago, in 2005. The video may have been leaked to the net because of an acrimonious divorce.
His party has been one of the most vocal with irrational hatred of firearms, and reacted to the video by suspending him from the party, even though he is out of the country and cannot present a defense. It is rumored that he even allowed some of his children to learn to use firearms.
While Mr. Hanif is not alleged to have done anything illegal, a Tory spokesman said that this was a very irresponsible action. He said that training children to use assault weapons was completely irresponsible, and sent the wrong message.
There is a more complete coverage in the Scottish press.
Isn't there a famous photograph of Sir Winston with a Thompson submachinegun?
Now a national politician can be suspended from his party without even a hearing, merely because he had the effrontery to actually shoot a military rifle. Oh... the horror!
Here is a link to the article in the Scottish press
I love it when libs eat their own.
The English are suicidal.
I’d rather Mr. Jahingir Hanif had no relations with guns.
The Brits & other Europeans are so nonsensical.
Did he shoot anyone? Did he threaten anyone with it? Where is the misdeed? It’s Orwellian. We’re going to control what people think, or at least try to.
the english are toast,they are being turned into a muslim state and they worry over trivial BS,,its sad
Thank you. That was the picture I was thinking of.
Many questions. Some might ask how a Pakistani native winds up on a City Council in Scotland. What is his story? What is his stand on Islamic terrorism?
Sigh....
that’s funny!
england’s going to hell in a hand basket.
Even worse, it’s the Scots who have their panties in a twist. They’ve come a long way since Braveheart, it would appear.
Thanks, they’re nuts.
There is no England any more ...
They're further gone than I thought.
“england’s going to hell in a hand basket.”
We have many schools with similar Zero Tolerance. When these kids grow up, stories like this will make sense to them.
The unusual invitation was probably a result of his being socially well liked by junior British officers; and he did personally meet Churchill.
His record with the Army was spectacular, and his funeral at Arlington was impressive.
Scottish National Party.
Oh. Sae nae mair.
And Scotland's already there
Put that on a poster with “Churchill didn’t have a problem with them” below the pic, then paste it on every vertical surface throughout Old Blighty. They’ve forgotten who they were.
The Tories are the Conservative Party, believe it or not.
The Barneyfication of nations around the world continues, with Britain providing today’s latest episode:
GEMMA: “Look what I got, Abdul!”
ABDUL: “What’s that, Gemma?”
GEMMA: “It’s a Kalashnikov AK-47. It’s plastic, tho’. It’s only a toy.”
ABDUL: “Neat! Hey Corey! Look what Gemma’s got!”
COREY: “Whoah! It’s a toy gun. Can I play with it, Gemma?”
GEMMA: “Sure. It’s nice to share our toys with friends.”
COREY: “Hey Ryann! BANG! BANG! You’re dead!
RYANN: “Uggggghhh! Ya got me, Corey!
COREY: “Hey Baby-Bop! BANG! BANG! RAT-tat-tat-tat-tat! You’re Dead! I killed you!”
BABY-BOP: “No! No! No!” (cries)
BARNEY: “What’s wrong, Baby-Bop?”
BABY-BOP: “Corey say he kill me, that I DEAD!”
BARNEY: “STOOOOOOOOOP! OH NO! STOOOP!
COREY: “What’s wrong, Barney?”
RYANN: “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
GEMMA, ABDUL: “Yeah?”
BARNEY: “That’s a gun. Guns are Bad!”
ABDUL: “It’s only a toy, Barney.”
GEMMA: “It’s just for fun, Barney. We were only playing...”
BARNEY: “It’s a BAD TOY. Just like matches.”
RYANN: “Or my Mom’s pair of velvet handcuffs!”
ABDUL: “Or my Dad’s explosive belt!”
BARNEY: “Guns are BAD! Only Bad People have guns!”
RYANN: “Or police men or soldiers. They’re good people.”
BARNEY: “They’re Bad People if they use their guns to shoot other people. Guns aren’t fun.”
GEMMA: “What about cowboys? Can’t they have guns?”
BARNEY: “No. Cowboys are bad, too. Why can’t they play with dolls instead?”
RYANN: “I like to play with dolls, Barney.”
ABDUL: “Me, too. Guns are bad.”
COREY: “Me, too. Baby-Bop, I’m sorry for shooting you dead with a gun.” (cries)
BABY-BOP: “That OK Corey. You not know. Now you do.”
ALL: “Guns aren’t toys! We hate guns! Guns are bad! Only Bad Guys have guns!”
Song: (to the tune of “This Old Man”)
“Guns are bad
Guns are bad
When you shoot me, I feel sad!
Never play with guns, you should only play with dolls!
Or you should play with your balls.”
RYANN: “Hey, Abdul, do you want to play Cowboys and Indians?”
ABDUL: “Sure, Ryann. Which one gets to be the Mom, and which one gets to be the Dad?”
RYANN: “Let’s both be Dad. And Gemma can be our daughter. She’s special, because we adopted her.”
COREY: “Hey, can I play too? I want to be a soldier, who knits sox for poor people overseas.”
ABDUL: “Sure. You can be my boyfriend. It’s that sort of family.”
BARNEY: “And the best thing is, you can have fun and all be a big happy family, without guns!”
GEMMA: “I sure am glad you taught us about guns, Barney.”
BARNEY: “That’s OK, Gemma. It’s nice not to play with guns.”
Song: (To the tune of “Frere Jacques”)
“Guns shoot people,
Guns shoot people.
Bad Guys kill.
Bad Guys kill.
Only Bad Guys have guns.
Only Bad Guys have guns.
Play with dolls!
Play with dolls!”
Song: (To the tune of “Home on the Range”)
“O, give me a home
And a brand-new cell phone
Where Corey and Abdul are gay.
Where no swearing is heard,
And no-one ever flips The Bird,
And they guys play with dollies all day.
O, Home with a Range,
And a Fridge, and three guys who’re gay,
Where no one owns a gun
And no one has any fun
And the guys play with dollies all day...”
I remember recently the health ministry of some British area ruled that all salt shakers with 13 holes had to be replaced with new salt shakers with only 5 holes. The reason? Because they thought that would force people to eat less salt.
Drill Here,Drill Now,,just a thought.
From Churchill’s writings, August 1939: “I had at that time no official protection, and I did not wish to ask for any; but I thought myself sufficiently prominent to take precautions. I had enough information to convince me that Hitler recognised me as a foe. My former Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Thompson, was in retirement. I told him to come along and bring his pistol with him. I got out my own weapons, which were good. While one slept, the other watched. Thus nobody would have had a walkover.”
R.I.P, Great Britain.
Britain has no pulse.
It’s a lucky thing these wankers aren’t suspended for handling a gun - they’d have to disband the whole party....
Is that true?
Maybe, but not exactly relevant to this story - this is Scotland!
Unless...
They sneak out by themselves at night and hang out with those man-killing SUV's...
How scandalous!
But I can't say I'm surprised; the English seem to have developed a preternatural fear of firearms. My wife and I had a English couple visit a few years back. the male seemed to really enjoy shooting my glock 17 and AR15, but the woman literally broke down weeping after shooting one round through a .22 pistol.
A nation of P*ssies.
According to my Scottish friends, it is easier to be
Scottish in Texas than in Scotland. Scots make great Texans.
I hope that there was no film of this English citizen shooting firearms. If it ever leaked out, it appears he’ll probably get fired from his job in jolly old England.
Pardon me- the Brits!
Actually, he broke up with that gal, came back here on a work visa, and married an American. Last I heard, he had gotten his Master's Degree from UGA and was seriously contemplating citizenship.
Smart man. He learned where the true ideals of Englishmen such as Burke and Locke reside.
And before anyone rips on me, yes I know that Burke was an Irishman. I meant Englishman in so far as being a part of the British Empire.
