The post you are reporting:
Compliant British Goverments for decades have supplied Bahrain with armaments and crowd control equipment.
Bahrain has been my second home,never a non-dom,never turned native,but hundreds of visits over 27 years and.
Involved at all levels of their society,both shia and sunni.......still have friends and former collegues on the Island
Bahrain is ruled by the sunni Royal Family,the majority of the population is shia who have for 14 months demonstrated
for democracy..........many have been murdered,tortured,raped ( both sexes ) etc,etc,etc,by the ruthless security
services.
The royal family have told F1 grand prix bosses that the unrest has fizzed out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...yesterday like many days
thousands of protesters have walked the streets for democracy to be met as usual by the security services.When the
security services cannot cope Saudia Arabia send over their tanks etc in large numbers.....the unrest will not go
away........I am convinced the grand prix should be cancelled......the one sided violence is second only to Syria.
Former British police officers are dominant in their security services.Several police officers who resigned ( before they
were pushed ) on the Hacking inquiry have recently been on the island as `advisors`
One of America`s Fleets are on the island and have recently `advised` King Hamad to implement a national reform
towards democracy,but little has changed........it would help if Britains Foreign Office supported the American`s in their
efforts to improve life on the Island..........not holding breath.....
When Bahrain finally becomes a democracy.........as in all middle east countries there will be a perion of settling old
grievancies.......and the Security Services will be called to answer some heavy questions..........................
...........watch this space...............
