From the NRO-
So far, this is my favorite inside story from the massacre in Mumbai, India.
‘I was extremely lucky. I was with a very good bunch of people. Three or four of us were Brits. There were some Irish as well. Most were Indian.
‘We’d never met each other but I have to say, it was a true British stiff upper-lip situation. Together, the Brits helped to keep up morale.
‘There was a can-do attitude. We thought, ‘Let’s get the barricades done, let’s do the practical things rather than sit there like sheep and wait to meet our fate.’
‘There was a lot of crying from many of the other people and I suppose comforting them was a way of keeping ourselves occupied. My boss Christopher Garnett and some old friends were sending me messages to keep my spirits up.
‘At one stage Christopher sent me some stanzas from The Private Of The Buffs [a ballad by Sir Francis Hastings Doyle describing the execution of a captured British infantryman for refusing to kowtow to the Chinese in 1860].’
Nick added: ‘We all decided that even though we had alcohol within reach we wouldn’t touch it because it seemed like a bad idea to get drunk.
‘But come 5am, we were fairly confident the police were going to get us out, so I marched over to the bar and found a bottle of vintage Cristal champagne and opened it and began pouring it into glasses.
‘Then the head waiter came rushing across to me and said, “No, no, you can’t do that!†and I said, ‘Well we’re going to’ and he said, ‘No sir, those are the wrong type of glasses. I shall find you champagne flutes.’
‘And he did. The service was immaculate.’
Some folks have balls of steel. That waiter is one of those folks.
Or he will be, in several weeks.
No, I’m not happy about it, but there is, in my heart, a certain amount of enjoyment/amusement.
Brak did not one solitary thing but stand and look cool for nine months, and he has shown his ass in this Pakistan bullshit by his comment about “Monitoring” the situation.
Well, first of all here’s the return of your “Soft power”, Tom. the Muslims know that Brack is Soft, and has no actual power, so they’re beginning to ratchet up the violence against jews, brits, and Americans. Hope you like your darling boy. This is just the echoes of what is to come. Bush has kept us safe from terrorist attacks since 9/11 (that was, of course caused by the interference of fucktards like Jamie Gorelick,now an Obama darling) and the terrorists haven’t been reactivated here since then because of “hard” power, but as soon as Barry is elected we can expect to see this shit happening closer and closer to home. How you gonna feel, tom, when your daughters are raped by muslims, and then stoned because they are the ones who sinned? Oh, that’s right, you’re fine with that, you voted Brak. because that’s what you voted for. You can say to yourself ‘that’s reactionary, that would never happen here” but that would be because you are incapable of understanding that it is happening here already.
because you’re a moron.
