Shoes hurled at Zardari in Britain by taha
Shoes Zardari flew to Britain London: A man threw his shoes, both in Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari, when directed at a public meeting in Birmingham. Shoes landed just short of it. The Telegraph reported Sunday that Zardari, who has criticized the visit of Britain, while there were floods in his country was in the middle of his speech when an elderly man in the crowd hurled shoes at him. Unidentified man then removed from the meeting Saturday night by police and security officials. "Zardari was in the middle of a long campaign speech when a man in the back of the crowd hurled shoes at him," an eyewitness was quoted as saying. He reached this target and it was not clear what the man was complaining about. " While speaking to the British daily, Zardari has rejected allegations that should have stayed at home. He said that the visit resulted in the flooding receiving more international attention than they might otherwise have done. http://articles.dj-fun.com/ Zardari said: "These meetings have been scheduled months ago, and I come abroad, attracted more attention to them than myself would be able to draw." In February last year, a German student hurled a shoe during Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during his visit to Cambridge University in Britain. Martin Jahnke, 27-year-old graduate student in the department of pathology university, was arrested on February 2, 2009 for throwing a shoe at Wen, who gave a speech on the global economy to an audience of mostly Chinese students during an official visit in Britain. Wen shoe lost by about a meter. Jahnke is emulating an Iraqi television journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes in the former U.S. president George Bush during a visit to Baghdad in December 2008

George I of Great Britain $125.85 George I (George Louis; German: Georg Ludwig; 28 May 1660 11 June 1727)was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1 August 1714 until his death, and ruler of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire from 1698. George was born in Lower Saxony, in what is now Germany, and eventually inherited the title and lands of the Duke of BrunswickLneburg. A succession of European wars expanded his German domains during his lifetime, and in 1708 he was ratified as princeelector of Hanover. At the age of 54, after the death of Queen Anne, he ascended the British throne as the first monarch of the House of Hanover. Although over fifty Catholics bore closer blood relationships to Anne, the Act of Settlement 1701 prohibited Catholics from inheriting the throne, and George was Annes closest living Protestant relative. In reaction, the Jacobites attempted to depose George and replace him with Annes Catholic halfbrother, James Francis Edward Stuart, but their attempts failed.

Believing in Britain $51 Why is there such intense interest today in the idea of 'Britishness'? Does it really matter, and what is 'Britishness' anyway? Why does the notion of 'being British' seem to have most resonance amongst recent immigrant - especially Asian and Afro-Caribbean - communities? And why is that 'traditional' British values now seem to be most widely practised and cherished by newcomers, not by the dominant majority? This book answers these vital questions by making a unique contribution to the current debate about British identity. It investigates why Liverpool is the most British of UK cities, with a regional accent representing a medley of Welsh, Scots, Irish and English; how a small village off the M6 motorway is arguably Britain's spiritual heart; and what theme parks, airport shops and eating habits have to tell us about the contemporary national character. It is often claimed that Great Britain is one of the most secular nations on earth. But - controversially - Ian Bradley argues that Britishness is best envisaged as a series of overlapping identities which are at root religious.He views the 400 year-old Union Jack, with its overlaid crosses of three of the nation's four patron saints, as symbolising the United Kingdom's unparalleled combination of unity in diversity, the diversity of a society which now embodies Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and many other - including secular - traditions. He goes on to argue that 'Britishness' has special value as a broad church measure of spiritual and cultural inclusiveness - and as a positive alternative to fundamentalism, narrow nationalism and jingoism. The author explores in separate chapters the distinctive contributions to Britishness made over the centuries by the Celtic traditions of the Welsh and Irish, the Anglo-Saxon strain of tolerance and freedom associated with the English, the moral seriousness of the Scots, and the characteristics of exuberance, modesty and privacy introduced by new black and Asian Britons. Published to coincide with the three hundredth anniversary of the 1707 Act of Union, his book offers a number of radical proposals.These include re-designing the Union flag to incorporate a black cross on a gold background, to better reflect the hybridity of contemporary Britain, and replacing George, Andrew and Patrick with a new trinity of patron saints - Columba, Bridget and Edward the Confessor. Ian Bradley contends that a rejuvenated BBC, monarchy and Commonwealth all have a part to play in forging a new sense of British identity which combines myth, imagination and tradition with a broad, open-minded inclusivity and respect for difference. Believing in Britain makes a consistently thoughtful and challenging contribution to one of the most important discussions of our time. |

George Vs. George $23.71 There are two sides to every story, author Schanzer tells us in the introduction to her clever comparison of George Washington and his Revolutionary War opponent, King George III of England. Who could imagine that the fabric binding America to Great Britain was about to unravel or that the two Georges were about to become bitter enemies? Who could guess that George III would be the last king of America, and that George Washington would one day become its first president? She finds similarities in the lives of the two Georges, describes the tax disputes that finally plunged England and her colony into war, and compares the two opposing armies and governments. She presents both sides' points of view evenhandedly in this well-researched volume, and illustrates the story with her full-color folk-art paintings, sometimes with documented quotes in dialogue balloons. |

Britain Since 1918 $20.9 The history of democratic politics in Britain since the coming of universal male suffrage in 1918 is a dramatic one, crowded with events and colourful figures. As well as the great events of war and economic crises, and the quieter drama of constitutional change, this era has been studded with democratic protests of every sort. The story opens more than 350 years ago. The Levellers of the 17th century, 18th-century radicals, the Chartists and the Reform Acts are all part of the unsteady and fiercely contested progress towards a democratic constitution. Dreams, visions and ideals are important too - of George Orwell, and Enoch Powell, Milton, Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke, Churchill and Lord Salisbury, Aneurin Bevan and Tony Benn - for they have also shaped our outlook. |
