Winnie the Poo THE GATHERING STORM HBO, tonight at 8, Eastern and Pacific times; 7, Central time. JPR's note: Here is portrait of dear Winston, who smokes his big fat cigars for BF, lunch and dinner. The Fat Cigar, as an appendage dangling from his mouth, is a marker of the leftover infantile urge to nurse and draw ego nourishment from all his contacts, for he always impressed others as to how important he is in their lives. The second marker, his physiognomy, unmistakably tells of his deep disdain for other mortals including Gandhi; his life-long struggle with depression; a matchless canine surliness towards lesser motals, but loyalty to England; and an ego larger than his corpulent self. Champagne ran in his blood; his currency is ever-growing ego; and his innate natural high brow blowhard image was larger than his generously endowed corpulence and was his calling card. Everybody fell at his feet and adored this larger-than-life Gargantua. I like the bloke though: He is cute and cuddly when he is not sneering. He was trying to save England from Gandhi and subversive Hindus! When was the last time a Hindu did damage to England? Winny must have had somebody else in his mind, or he simply didn't have the prescience of events to come. Here is a sample of the conversation in the play, where his wife Clemmie addresses the boulder of a man. Write-up in NY Times Here are Winston and Clemmie (as Jiggs and Maggie). She asks him if he has forgotten to pay the butcher's bill. He looks up from his papers grumpily, saying he is "trying to save England from Mr. Gandhi and his gang of subversive Hindus." "In other words," she says, "you haven't paid the bill." Sounding like some sort of dog himself, he growls, "Woman, I can't do everything." How did Winston Churchill prepare for the rigors of leading Britain through World War II? He moped about the countryside, smoking fat cigars, even during meals. He drank prodigious quantities of Champagne, although he could barely afford beer. He kept telling anyone within earshot what a great man he was. And he acted selfishly toward everyone from his wife to his butler, all of whom responded to his boorishness with devotion.

Civilizational phobic explosive mix Race riots to plague UK again Beastly attacks on pensioners Is Paki-bashing a sport? paki-bashing waxes as fox hunting wanes Do we need a PPS-UK, Paki protection Society-UK, pronounced as Pipsqueak? Extract: Oldham: Schools are separate and there is so little inter-racial mingling that children as old at 10 at a recent inter-community event to celebrate Eid interacted with people of other skin colours for only the first time. It was against this background that rioting erupted last May. Racist attacks on Asian taxi drivers, a high-profile assault on a white pensioner by Asian youths, and marches by far right-wing groups exploded into three nights of violence. The BNP, partly blamed by police and politicians for last year's unrest, says any government action would be too little, too late for this city's whites. Opponents say the party is still racist. "All they are interested in is what divides the community. They have just built on the violence and conflict that was generated," said Mohammed Azam, coordinator of this city's coalition against racism. Rashid Mahroof, director of Race Equality Partnership, said serious attacks on Asians still occurred, albeit less frequently. -Reuters JPR's note: Why is it that only the muslim youth in UK are involved in race riots? The Indian youth -- more in number-- also live under similar circumstances. How is it that they live in harmony, while their "paki" counterparts live in disharmony with the local people? Confrontation, strife, struggle and antipathy to coexistence are the defining codes of some but significant number of muslim youth in UK. Civilizational phobic explosive mix between the muslim youth and the British is one of the reasons. The girls are forced to hide behind the burka and cocooned in wrappers until suitable mates are arranged by parents and thus are immune from whatever that afflicts the paki males. The psychological ravages upon the girls and paki youths from family-imposed restrictions and the personal freedom enjoyed by the British youth are the cause of many suicides and or egregious violence. The beastly attacks on the vulnerable pensioners show that they are not ready to live in a free democratic society. It is very discouraging to see these paki businesses gravitate wherever the Indian businesses and residents go. In the East-coast tristate area in the US, we are trying to run away from you. You keep following us, what a pestilence! Make and keep your own identity, residence, businesses and slums.

The gills are not even wet Gill, the celebrated supercop, remains in an advisory capacity. There is no question that the law enforcement agency in Gujarat needs a makeover. Gill without the necessary power to bring about a change is like the fish out of its element. Let him have the power to effect a change, which could serve as a model for the rest of India.

MJ Akbar's jaundiced view with a squint Dawn.com: Opinion page All that is new about rape, George Fernandes By M. J. Akbar, The writer is editor-in-chief of Asian Age, New Delhi. Extract: On Gujarat Violence and other unspeakable acts This has become a story without an end. For years - since that harsh winter of 1992 and 1993 - this monster slept, so that we became complacent. After a decade it woke up and another generation of children saw life tortured to death before their eyes. hat (sic) is what is new about rape, George Fernandes. JPR's note: MJ Akbar is right in what he said but what he neglected to say is as important because the aftereffects are in the cause which must be addressed and corrected - that is, the Godhra Muslims roasted the Hindus alive. The provocative Muslims and reactive Hindus have to sublimate their religious fervor, feelings and hatred for each other and behave like fellow travelers on a leaky boat with mutual feelings of tolerance and cooperation. What the master of prose, history, ethics, morality and all other good qualities has conveniently omitted to say is that Godhra is the precipitating event for the atrocious payback. The killing of Indira Gandhi precipitated the unacceptable and disproportionate payback on the Sikhs. The very fact that so many religions of foreign origin have taken root and are now thriving in India is a proof that Hinduism is a tolerant religion. We (India) are one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. The foreign religions always made it a point to test the limits of tolerance of the Hindu religion and expect the Hindus to behave magnanimously at every hurt. Hinduism is a misnomer for that name was given to the Indians by the foreigners; we were that secular right from the Vedic period. We are not in the business of conversion for there is no need for it and Hinduism contains all the major tenets of all religions of the world. What other religions have in their holy texts and revelations are all in the Hindu Holy texts. There is nothing new that the Hindu texts don't elucidate that other religions have taught us. A good Hindu is a good Muslim, a good Christian, and a good Jew. We didn't ask for any conversion. There was no need for it. We already had what you wanted to give us and the fancy packaging doesn't alter anything. The foreigners forced their religion on us on many levels of persuasion, some beneficial, and some violent. Violence has been the currency of conversion during the Moghul period and that currency is no more a currency of acceptance by the Hindus. Persuasion by violence is a bogus currency in India.
