Do more Mr, Brown..DO more

Gordon Brown received an apparent snub today as he arrived in Pakistan for talks with President Zardari only to be told that he was not available to appear at a joint press conference.

The Prime Minister, who landed in Pakistan this afternoon after talks in Afghanistan, told reporters on the plane that he would hold a meeting with the President.

But instead of a joint press conference with Mr Zardari in Islamabad, Mr Brown appeared alongside the relatively junior Pakistani Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gilani.

Downing Street tried to play down reports that the President had cancelled the press conference at the last minute as a snub to Mr Brown.

“It is entirely appropriate that he has a press conference with his counterpart,” a No 10 spokesman said. However, on his last visit to Pakistan in December, Mr Brown and Mr Zardari did stage a joint press conference.

The private meeting between the two leaders has so far yet to go ahead.

Mr Brown was visiting the region today to discuss Britain's new strategy for dealing with the terror threat on the Pakistani-Afghan border, as international alarm spreads over Taleban advances. The Prime Minister spoke to British troops at Camp Bastion, their main base in Helmand province, this morning.

He also visited a military hospital, before moving to Kabul, the Afghan capital, for discussions with President Karzai.

“This area and the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is the crucible for global terrorism,” Mr Brown said, in a speech to the troops.

“It’s important to recognise that if we do not take action and we do not fight back against the Taleban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, then people in Britain and in other countries represented here are less safe.”

British troops in Helmand will be reinforced in coming weeks by the arrival of more than 8,000 US Marines, a massive influx that NATO commanders hope will reverse what they have described as a stalemate in one of the country’s most violent provinces.

Asked what Britain would do about instability on the Pakistani side of the border, Mr Brown said: “It’s clear ... that we cannot sit by and allow this centre, or epicentre, of terrorism to continue to exist without taking further action.”

It is people like Brown who are too hasty to SHOW off their loyalties to the actual bosses in Washington and Tel Aviv ..in a situation where his popularity is dropping immensely in his country, and Economic situation has become more of a PERMANENT crisis, he needs his bosses more than ever and thus he will do all he can to please them.

Operation Pathway ..in any other times such as that of even Tony Blair's when lying had become more of state norm from the British Govt, no such example can be cited. A totally Farce, Racist , and Discriminatory behavior from UK govt has resulted in its alligning with all those forces who make mistakes and show the world they there were made ON purpose..

Pakistani Students ..all 12 of them were not charged of any crime despite working day and night towards doing so ..yet arrested and DEFAMED ...and harrassed.Infact not only it tarnished and tainted the face of So 'HARMONIOUS' society of UK ..it indeed exposed its true face to the world.
