***Rich Pakistanis planning to run to UK with their money***

So says a headline in today's "The News International". But mind you, these rich Paki rats won't be able to escape their deserved punishment there in their new British nests, either: the coming global economic catastrophe that many know is just around the corner, and mightier than anything imaginable, will crush them in the UK even......so they will meet the same fate there that they are trying to escape here, only it will be worse, as they will be in a foreign land. It is better to remain and face the odds - bravely, like men, that is if they are men to begin with - in a familiar place, rather than to seek refuge in alien lands.
And if the British think that they will shore up their economy with stolen money - and whistle away while doing it just as they have done in other cases, then they are sorely mistaken. Britain's world power days are long over, and it appears that its secondary power status may soon be over too. So they had better be careful. They have a lot to answer for, as it already is. In the next decade or two, fair Britannia may well find herself trampled under the heels of a new and unfathomed Eurasian force of occupation - under whose administration the British Establishment will be taken to task for all its past international crimes like the one mentioned in the report below that I am now commenting upon. If the United Kingdom of Great Britain has been great and having it good for the past 400 years, that doesn't mean that it will continue forever to be like that. It has just been their good luck, much in the same way as it has been with every empire on Earth. And they might be under the illusion that they are entitled to do as they like because they are invincible, as the Spanish Armada of 1588, Napoleon in 1805 and Hitler in 1940 were unsuccessful in setting foot on the British Isles physically. But I would warn them that things will not always be like that. After all, the Normans, the Vikings, the Saxons and before them the Romans and the Scythians have all had their turns at subduing and transforming Perfidious Albion successfully.....it is just a matter of history, which should be understood correctly and never taken for granted.....
It should also be noted that Britain has always been notorious for serving as a refuge and a haven for all kinds and varieties of international troublemakers, mischief mongers and rascals. Not if it can be helped much longer........
Britain will be doing itself incalculable harm by taking in such scoundrels. It will also be increasing the list of charges against itself, that it will eventually have to face and answer for, when the time finally comes. And I believe that time is not that far down the line.....

(The British - and now their American proteges - have kept this rapacious class of elite bandits in power over this state and society. It must be a worthless society indeed, to allow this to happen. It is unified by "issues" such as the so-called Blasphemy Law and the Raymond Davis incident, but not by the plunder, misrule and dysfunctionality of its elites..... I can see the elite rascals grin cynically at what I have said, yet they should no longer be sure about their continued prosperity).

Rich Pakistanis planning to run to UK with their money

LONDON: Affluent Pakistanis are taking keen interest in migrating to Britain under an upcoming scheme designed to attract the rich and mighty from around the world.

The News can disclose that dozens of multi-millionaire Pakistanis have contacted - and even hired in some cases - leading immigration solicitors in London to prepare their cases for immigration on “super-fast track” once the relevant laws were implemented.

A source in the Home Office confirmed that several “high-net-worth Pakistanis” had evinced great interest in shifting to Britain under the new immigration scheme, which would be implemented in April.

The new scheme almost reverses the current stringent rules. It will provide special incentives to rich foreigners to invest in Britain and inject the much-needed cash into the recession-hit economy.

According to the scheme, rich foreigners who could bring in £10 million for investment would be eligible for a fast-tracked permanent residency within two years - unlike five years for all categories under current rules. Those with £5 million would qualify in three years and those with £1 million would get residency in five years.

The Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government faced growing criticism over cuts in the services sectors expenditures and job slashing. The number of jobless is about to hit 3 million as many companies are laying off staff on a daily basis. Thus, the flow of money from abroad under the immigration scheme would be a welcome boost to the stalled British economy.

The Conservatives promised at the time of the election in May last year that they would cut immigration from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. The government is now planning to slash the number of foreign students to reduce net migration but this measure will hit the cash-strapped universities, dependant on international students.

The immigration clauses relating to the wealthy are undergoing a sea change, including the time period for gaining a permanent stay in Britain being drastically slashed. To qualify for a visa, an investor migrant will have to spend six months in the country instead of current requirement of nine months.

The individuals from countries such as India, Pakistan, Russia and those in the Middle East will take the opportunity offered by the new route to settle in Britain. There may not be a lot of Pakistanis eager to invest in the £10 million category but the number of those in £5 million and £1 million brackets could easily reach hundreds, the Home Office source said.

Talking to The News, a London-based solicitor confirmed that he was dealing with files of six rich families from Lahore and Karachi, who intended to migrate to Britain under the new scheme. “They are not happy with the unstable situation in Pakistan and Britain is a paradise for their capital. It’s clear to see why they want to move out,” he said, while speaking on condition of anonymity.

Another solicitor, who deals with a vast number of portfolio investors mainly from the Middle East, also confirmed that he had been approached by well-off Pakistani clients about the new immigration rules.

Fraz Butt of Saracens Solicitors, Marble Arch, London told The News: “Our Pakistani clients are showing substantial interest in migrating to Britain through the investment route as a consequence of the incentives on offer and the fast tracked timetable. Our Pakistani and Middle Eastern clients seek security for their investments and a stable environment for their children, which regrettably is not currently on offer in Pakistan. We are now servicing these clients and in turn assisting the government with its plans to enhance the austerity plans. It is truly a unique opportunity.”

A UK Border Agency spokesperson told The News: “The government has been clear that we want to attract the brightest and the best to help our economic recovery. We believe that entrepreneurs, investors, and people of exceptional talent have the most to offer in terms of driving economic growth. We are looking at ways to encourage investors to come to the UK and to make the application process more user-friendly; we will announce changes in due course.”
