It's not only the tearing off the Union Jack from Fiji's flag. Bainimarama and Khaiyum are holding back Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles' messages to the Cyclone Winston victims and the Fijian people!

1/3/2016

The British High Commissioner to Fiji, Roderick Drummond, had delivered the two messages to Bainimarama-Khaiyum government three days after Cyclone Winston
Neither has Government House - FFP President Konrote - made the messages public as protocol dictates;
*Is Khaiyum p****d off because UK did not give $500,000 to Bainimarama's untrustworthy and unaccountable Prime Minister's National Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation Fund ?

Roderick Drummond and Mrs Yasmin Drummond are accorded a traditional Fijian welcome ceremony by staff of the British High Commission

Bainimarama and Khaiyum have cast themselves as anti- British colonialism and have set out to SELECTIVELY remove vestiges of it - like the Union Jack . But the Fijian Navy wallahs doll up in the same fancy attire as their British counterparts and even the same colonial type dinner jackets.
Khaiyum is not averse to wearing fancy three piece British colonial types suits.
These two self- appointed political leaders of Fiji who hijacked the government of Fiji in 2006 and are now virtually the sole decision makers about the destiny of the country and its people under the pretence of parliamentary democracy are megalomaniacs who want to hog the limelight . This is why they are featuring everywhere in the cyclone victim tourism circus. They don't want the common people to know their erstwhile colonial rulers are not bastards who don't care about Fiji and its people.
That's the way they Bainimarama and Khaiyum have cast them. And it's a rotten lie. And not the only one for which they have become renown.

ohhh.....I thought Britain was going to finance the bringing of indentured labourers from Syria and Iraq to assist in the rebuilding of Fiji. Maybe Victor can fill us in on that as well since he has close association with the British empire.

We have to make Fiji whole - again! "Freedom does not come free, it is expensive" (Dr Martin Luther King) and an elaboration of what was said about America (sic) only yesterday by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Wholeness implies and requires integrity: of purpose, of action. And actions speak louder than words. "The weight of this sad time we must obey. Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most; we that are young shall never see so much nor live so long".

(King Lear - William Shakespeare)

You can understand Frank and Khaiyum's angst against the UK, the Queen and old jug ears himself the Prince of Wales when you look back at Frank's anti Australia, New Zealand and UK stance following his coup and following the sham elections when he assumed a democratic mask. Under his Look North policy he ran to China, courted Iran at a time when it was developing nuclear weapons to threaten Israel, the US and its western allies, he flew to Moscow to sign a cooperation agreement that has seen the delivery of the first of two arms shipment to Fiji, Then Cyclone Winston comes along and without a shot being fired Frank is put in a situation where he is forced to allow Australian and New Zealand military assets into our ports and internal waters to deliver much needed humanitarian aid to our suffering people. Its a moral victory to these two neighbours of ours. We don't see naval ships from Iran, China or Russia helping our people out in this time of difficulty. This is the reason Frank is pissed off. Winston has shown that Fiji cannot do without our neighbours and this is why the vindictive Fiji Prime Minister and his AG are silently grinding their teeth.

Yes, what have the Poms contributed so far? We don't need messages from the Queen and 'jug ears'. We need material support. Which, to my mind, confirms the need for Fiji to jettison the Union Jack from our flag.

Other issues; there is nothing wrong with Russian weapons for our peacekeepers. The Russians offered it as aid as part of their contribution to the UNPKO. The Russian weapons (AK74 etc) are an excellent weapon system to replace the collection of British, Australian, US, German, Korean, Singaporean and Israeli weapons that the RFMF uses (and which are falling apart).

All your other references to Iran threatening the West with nuclear weapons etc are all hyperbole as Iran had made it clear it was developing nuclear power, not nuclear weapons. Do not confuse the two.

I agree that Fiji cannot do without its neighbours, especially Australia and NZ (the ANZUS powers). No one is victorious is humanitarian relief operations. It is the people (victims) who are the focus so it would be wrong to see it stark victory-defeat terms.

Make no mistake what you are seeing now in Fiji is a fairly large scale military humanitarian relief operation using the combined defence assets of the ADF, the NZDF and the RFMF. Military officers from these three countries are I lead roles coordinating the relief effort.

What have the Poms contributed so far? Well where to begin?
If we begin from the beginning then the Poms contributed to Fijians wearing what they are wearing now, including full suit, rather than grass shirts and bark cloths. The Poms contributed to the established of parliament and governance by the rule of law rather than the club.
The Poms set up the institution of the Fijian military force from where the current PM committed armed robbery to steal the government of Fiji. The Poms contributed to eating with fork and knife and spoon ( in put) and using toilet paper ( output) . The Poms contributed to the introduction of Lotu and rugby - both of which the Fijians today cannot live without. Need I continue with the list of what the Poms have contributed? It's a very long list...

Vili do you even know and understand why the other super powers are not interested in the old AK47's, RPG's and other old Soviet style weapons? .. There is a reason why they are still being sort after in the 3rd world. They are cheap! Secondly they do not meet that demand of accuracy and efficiency bro! If you're still confused, Google engine bro. People say it's state of the art weapons! Seriously?? Prob it's only state of the art because it's not being used back home. Even the guys back home know that their standard personal weapon is better than the AK's

Sorry Henry but the weapons the Russian gave were AK74's not the old AK47. Go check your facts before preaching to me.

The K2 and M16A1 (and even the M16A2) is not so 'soldier proof' as the AK74. Go ask any soldier who has used these weapons and they will you that.

Go back and 'Google' some more

What have the British contributed to Fiji? Very much what we are today, our common English language, our acceptable manners, our european attire, the living standards, Parliament and all its related fixtures (definitely NOT corruption and blatant abuse of power), preservation of our own racial cultures and traditions, the museum, library, archives and the norms of everyday living in harmony. What have we in Fiji contributed...apart from racial divisions, distrust, corrupt officials, rejected parliamentarians, destruction of natural resources and habitas, Ministers hiding from the law, MPs whose wages are hidden from public viewing and so forth??...let's just be thankful that we always had and still have the opprtunity to improve upon what the British gave (even if we eventually change the fiji flag to that of a banana climbing a coconut tree). We are the people of Fiji and today we stand together to help each other and be thankful for whatever country is helping out and individuals sacrificing - one thing about Winston, he was not racially biased; the prick!!..cyclone that is

Thank you Dekho and friends for re-educating our people such as Vili. The question he posed, "What have the Poms done for Fiji? " speaks volumes about his ignorance about Fiji's history and its critical importance to the present and future of our nation. Such is the ignorance and blindness of Bai and Khai and all their followers.

Vili, my humble request to you is that you shut up for a moment please ( three months ) and take the time to digest what Dekho, Samjha and others have said. Take a closer and more objective look at the two dictators you are trying so hard to defend. May be, just maybe, you might see a tiny beam of light pointing you to a new direction that will set you free. Vinaka.

Must be one of those numbskull, ill-informed, blind as a bat, half educated, nitwit who is so dense upstairs that he cannot cannot distinguish between right and wrong. How then can he ever begin to understand and see the contributions of the Poms to these three hundred island nation of ours?
