BBC: The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has widened its investigation into corruption allegations at UK defence giant BAE Systems.

Together with Ministry of Defence Police, the SFO raided three business addresses and a home earlier this week.

The SFO said the raids were not related to existing inquiries into BAE defence contracts in Romania and Saudi Arabia.

It is already investigating claims that BAE made secret payments to cement arms deals with those countries. Probe into BAE arms deals widens

At last, the government is on to the human trash at BAE. Let's hope that Her Majesty's government carries through and sends these bloody criminals to prison where they belong for the rest of their miserable lives. The BA execs have ruined thousands of lives to serve their own greed; now is the time for them to be punished severely for their crimes against humanity and the British people. Unfortunately, it is unseemly to say here what should REALLY be done to these wankers.

OOPS, I am so sorry to have been so measured in my comments. The BAE execs are far worse than I intimated in my comments. But likely the politicians will whitewash the whole thing as all of them are 'on the take' from the Middle Eastern @J*@##@. You fill in the appropriate word here...

I have had a little experience with BAe in the past. What I'd like to know is why you're being so lenient with the filthy pieces of pigs**t ...

I'm sure it would be far better for them if you got your hands on them than I did.

My experience with them is PERSONAL!

Welcome back! You've been missed! :-(

Interesting. Feel free to enlarge on the subject. I feel sure that we would all be interested to learn about the games they play to satisfy their Saudi masters.

USIP:

Tell us how you really feel about BAE Systems and their executives! :-)

So here is the proof, if it were needed, of the collusion and graft, the scheming and bribery that supports the UK relationship with Saudi.
Can we really blame the Bin L's of the world for wanting to bring down the thugs that run the "holy" City?
Well of course the Bin L's mob would be no better, merely a change of one oppressor gangster regime for another.
To read that the UK governent allowed this poor Briton to be beaten and tortured is sickening.
Of course he is not the only one.
Let alone the thousands of Suadis and other foreigners who have experienced the sharp end of Sharia.
I would hope that Britons living in that desert get the hell out before the place collapses into mayhem, which seems certain one day.
And to think we have sold them the finest battle plane Europe has ever made.
One day the pidgeons may come home to roost, over Europe at MACH 2!

Meanwhile we witness our Prince Charles intervening on behalf of a British passport holder of Pakistani origin who has been sentenced to hang under Sharia law.
Yet they want Sharia here!!
And they turn to a "Christian" Prince to plead for mercy!
Unbelievable.

Why isn't Charles more concerned with innocent Brits who undoubtedly have been abused in Saudi?
Stop playing the wanker Charles.
The Muslims will never love you, even if you want them to, as you would have yourself styled, as "Protector of all the faiths."
You are living in a fools paradise Charlie boy.

How can we expect or find trust in the Mid-East, when the Elites and Business hierachies are so obviously corrupt?
Mark it is time to bring the curtain down and let us all go our seperate ways, far better than all this false multi-faithing, multi-culting Bullshit we are fed with everyday.
Each to his own.
Never the twain shall meet.

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't know whether you have read my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, but in it, I called for an "Iron Veil" to be dropped between our two worlds. Containment and separation is the ONLY solution, for the two worlds will never see eye to eye. As you said: Never the twain shall meet.

BAe - They treat their employees like dirt too. I got my own retaliation in by dropping them seriously in it with their Saudi masters. It will have cost BAe a pretty penny to mollify them. The smug grin on that manager's face soon disappeared when I told him what I was doing. But that was 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was never again able to get work in any Aerospace related industry, military or civil. Worth it.

Here's an interesting question: About ten or so years ago an affiliate of BAe sold the Saudi POLICE 100 cattle prods. Now what possible use could the Saudi, or any other, police have for cattle prods?

PS

I'm not "back" - I'm here every day for a read. I just have too much of my own to do now though - as evidenced by my posts on Reconquista, and ongoing as evidenced by my recent e-mail to you - to get involved in many conversations.

It's a lot of work, and I've been trying to make sense of the 78 Excel pages of the Met's crime stats since Apr 2000 (2842 numbers/page). Worth it though :-). Just a shame they only provide numbers. Perp/victim details would have been useful. Never mind, they're good enough for present purposes, when tied in with the data from the last census, which, fortunately, does tell us the % Muslims in every London borough. Heh heh.

Yes. Thank you, and I have already sent you a reply. I hope you've received it.

So I understand.

I'm sure you will have been blacklisted for that; but I'm sure you it gave you a great deal of satisfaction.

I wonder why BAE Systems enjoy treating their employees so shabbily?

The smug grin on that manager's face soon disappeared when I told him what I was doing. But that was 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was never again able to get work in any Aerospace related industry, military or civil. Worth it.

Revenge, as they say, is sweet.

I can't imagine what the Saudi Police would want cattle prods for. But then, don't they treat the Saudi people there like cattle anyway? Perhaps the answer lies therein.

It's good that you come round every day for a read. I had no idea, of course. It's always good to read your very insightful comments when you can get around to writing them.

By the way, I had no idea that you had your own blogspot. I haven't been able to do the bloground so much recently, as I have been very busy too. Now I know where you are, I shall have to try and visit you regularly too.

I see that you have paired up with Gandalf. he used to contribute on this forum a long time ago; but he hasn't done so for ages now. The same goes for Forrest Shalom.

By the way, I notice that you don't have my website on your blogroll. Perhaps we should exchange links. Good idea?

From what you say here, and from your email to me, I can see that you are up to your eyes in work, too. I quite understand that it is difficult to get around to everything. I have a similar problem.
