Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister

The Prime Minister’s Spokesman told journalists that the Prime Minister had spoken to President Musharraf of Pakistan on Friday to thank him for his country’s contribution and work on the intelligence lead counter terror operation. The Prime Minister had also spoken to Prime Minister Siniora on Saturday who had thanked the Prime Minister for his efforts in helping to bring about the cessation of hostilities. They also discussed the immediate way ahead and the longer-term search for peace in the region. The Prime Minister had been speaking to officials over the weekend and he had spoken to the Deputy Prime Minister last night as well as the Home Secretary and Douglas Alexander. The Prime Minister continued to keep his holiday plans under review.

The Deputy Prime Minister made three private visits to airports yesterday to talk to staff on the ground and passengers. He had been greatly impressed by the work going on and he had extended his thanks to the travelling public for their patient understanding. In addition to his call with the Prime Minister last night the Deputy Prime Minister had met with Cabinet colleagues in Downing Street to discuss the latest developments on the situation. The Deputy Prime Minister had also attended Cobra on Saturday. Today, along with Ruth Kelly, the Deputy Prime Minister would be meeting Muslim leaders. Tomorrow the Deputy Prime Minister would hold a meeting with duty government ministers and other cabinet colleagues to plan ongoing government business, to update them on the Middle East, the next steps in the UN and counter-terror operation at home. He would also meet with Muslims MP, which had been arranged before the summer.

Asked what the message to Muslims leaders would be, the PMS said that the Deputy Prime Minister and Ruth Kelly would be meeting Muslim stakeholders today to call for greater action to tackle extremism and to hear what more the government could be doing to support that. There had already been action taken by government in Muslim communities in response to the preventing extremism together report, which had been published last year. Today’s meeting would build on that work, stepping up progress particularly engaging with young Muslims and Muslim women and on the role of Mosques and Imans in tackling extremism on the ground. Attendees would include representatives of the newly established Mosque and Imams National Advisory Board and Forum Against Extremism as well as organisations working with young Muslims and Muslim women. For further details on the cast list people should speak to the department. Asked whether they would be telling the audience that they could not determine UK foreign policy, the PMS referred the journalist to the government’s response, from the Foreign Secretary, Middle East Minister, Home Secretary and the Transport Secretary, over the weekend to the open letter.

  1. Pity the information the Pakistani’s gave to the UK was extracted under extreme torture.

  2. I’d quite like to see our PM (and in fact most of the government) undergoing some "intelligence lead counter terror"…!

    And it doesn’t matter WHAT Muslim leaders do about extremism, for the simple reason that it isn’t Muslims who are the source of the world’s problems right now, but the very people who profess to be protecting us. The US government and Mossad were responsible for 9/11; these 3 movies show the tip (and I mean only the tip) of the iceberg.

    This is not "conspiracy theory". This is fact, as it happened on that day. These are facts the BBC and Sky News and all the rest DIDN’T tell you about, which should raise red flags about their loyalties. Watch these, and compare the tactics used to the 7/7 bombings and you’ll suddenly see that the powers that be have a singular lack of imagination , for the parallels between the two events are startling, right down to the passports found at the scene despite the total destruction of every other piece of "evidence". Think about that. On 9/11, the black boxes of 4 planes, designed to be indestructible, were "too badly damaged" to retrieve any usable info from, and yet we’re expected to believe that a paper passport somehow survived the crash, fireball and collapse of the twin towers. Yeah!!!

    One of many sites that highlight the (numerous) anomalies on 7/7 can be found here;

    <a href="http://www.julyseventh.co.uk/index.html">http://www.julyseventh.co.uk/index.html</a&gt;

    Think back also to numerous events in Iraq; British (or Israeli, if you believe the testimony of the Iraqi chief of police…) soldiers, dressed up as locals and driving round in a car full of explosives, were caught and subsequently broken out of jail by armoured vehicles. Just wouldn’t credit it, would ya?!

    Also do some digging into the bombings in Bali, Madrid & Jordan, amongst others; there are major question marks about ALL these events, and rather than providing real answers, the "authorities" simply ask us to trust them. Well I don’t, and I advise anyone who does to get themselves a major life adjustment.

    I could go on all day, quite easily; there really is that much to talk about. But I won’t. It should be enough to point out that the justification for all (or most of) the "War on Terra" rests on 9/11 – and if proven that 9/11 was a hoax, then the whole war on terra is also a hoax. Watch the movies and draw your own conclusions. As in any crime, consider who stands to gain. And what, exactly, have "Muslim extremists" gained, apart from the permanent presense of psychotic US troops on their soil, and countless tons of American explosives on their heads? No, the people who gained from all these things are not in foreign lands, but under our noses – and people are still blind enough to beg these murdering psychopaths for protection.
