Private Widdle Speaks

It appears that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Michael Walker, has (shock, horror) accused the Pakistanis of supporting terror in Kashmir. He actually had the gall to suggest that Kashmir was like Ulster.

"We have a similar problem in our country, which we have been dealing with for some 30 years," said General Sir Michael Walker, Chief of Defence staff.

"It is very interesting to look at the common threads between these two campaigns."

Sir Michael described the conflicts in both places as "terrorist campaigns."

Are you Prince Philip in disguise? It shows that British generals sympathise more with their Indian counterparts.

Please also notice that the US system of placing full stops within parentheses rather than without has taken hold of the Ulster Telegraph.
