I was playing a CD of the fabulous Brenda Lee this morning. My favourite song of Little Miss Dynamite is a track entitled 'Sweet Nuthins'. The only part of the song I have never been able to fathom out is what the guy is whispering in her ear right at the beginning. I am sure they are genuine lyrics, I just don't know what they are. If a reader knows the answer, please settle one of the big mysteries of the pop music world.
It was then I remembered the press interview given by the two 'innocent' Muslims after the Forest Gate investigation last week. Alarm bells began to ring in my head the moment I laid eyes on the sepulchral figure of Gareth Pierce sitting adjacent. Pierce is one of those lawyers who would defend Beelzebub himself if it could enable her to achieve the two greatest aspirations of her life: 'loadsamoney' and cheap publicity for her otherwise insignificant self. As the two Muslim individuals sat there - each with Epping Forest sprouting from their chins - one kept hearing the barely perceptible tones of Miss Egotist, advising them on the pre-prepared script about how much they loved this country. 'London is my kind of.........what that's word, Gareth?' Pierces whispers, 'town'. 'Yes town' echoed the Islamolunatics' answer to Del Boy's Uncle Albert.
Oh the pathos! Their descriptions of how the anti-terrorist officers had infiltrated their home was straight out of Schindler's List. I fully expected him to say that the commanding officer had a look of Ralph Fiennes about him, barking commands such as 'shoot her' in a phony German accent. Auntie Beeb, ever anxious to explore and feel the pain of our increasingly alien Muslim community, went into overtime on how the bewhiskered clowns must have felt. It now seems these two RADA-trained examples of the typically Muslim 'oh woe is me' battalion will scoop a greater amount in compensation than any of the victims of Omagh or the 7/7 atrocity. Don't you just love the values of moonbats?
But hang on a second. Bless my bacon sandwiches for it would seem Mohammed Kahar and Abul Koyair are not quite as angelic as the MSM have made them out to be. An interesting story has arisen, showing these two had allegedly over £38,000 in cash hidden in their house. I am ten years older than Kahar; have been saving since 1997; and have managed to build a nest egg of around £17,000, which I invest. In comparison, these two guys - who work in those well-salaried vocations of post office employee and supermarket shelf-stacker - have amassed a figure of over double that amount. Furthermore, they decide keep it in the house as opposed to using the traditional method of a bank account!!
Something here is fishier than a lobster's bathing costume. So far the story is that the two brothers are not connected in any way with terror or nefarious activity. Further police probing of the money will, hopefully, reveal a very different tale.
Andrew,
Has the possibility occurred to you that they may have just been saving money? Not everyone uses banks, you know.
Let's suppose for starters that they don't drink.
20 pints a week (a reasonable amount for a young buck) at £2.50 a pop over 5 years will cost you about £13,000.
And 10 fags a day for 5 years will cost you roughly £5,000.
So that's £18,000 so far.
Further police probing of the money will, hopefully, reveal a very different tale.
Why do you hope such a thing?

Could be Hugh - but £50- notes is a bit suspicious tho.....

I would back Andrew on hoping too....
I fully believe the police can cock up (and may have here), but it annoys me the way the beeb and the whole weepy industry comes out in force.

Hugh,
And there's me thinking that it is against their religion to smoke or drink alcohol, - silly me!
You really should get a sense of reality - they live in their own house, with all that cash, and how old are they? 19 and 22? Now they must really have worked hard to amass what even by today's standards, is a sizeable sum...not to mention all the tax they must have paid on the income - unless, of course it was mostly 'the welfare'...

I'd like to know which community the police's informant was from.

Were they Northern Bank Notes ? ;)

What's this "community" thingy which everyone is talking about?
If they're Pakistani, say so! If they're from India, again, say so! If they're group believers in the religion of Islam, which some clowns profess as the religion which will cleanse the world; again, say so!
I tend to collect all of the above together, and state that we, as a nation, have played host to many nationalities, faiths and disparate groups, but at no time has there been as much trouble as there has been once we started to let in the multifarious rag-heads from the Middle East and the sub-continent which hosts the unhappy bedfellows of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh!

Canary Wharfe and Manchester bombings would argue otherwise ....

When my granny - a pensioner- died some years back, she left 12 grand in £50 notes in her bedside locker. What crime do you suspect her of? Cyanide bombs seem out of reach: perhaps the purchase of some RPGs?
Anyway, it turns out my savings theory, while plausible, was wrong.
Cash found in house raid was 'rent'
Ms Kalam said she had told police just two hours after officers stormed their house that they would find a "substantial" amount of cash in a suitcase in the basement of number 48, which she owns.
However, it was "neither sinister nor unexplained", she insisted. She said the money - reportedly in excess of £30,000 - had been held there by her mother for "safe keeping" during the four years she had owned the property.
"My mother has never felt it right to keep this money in a bank account, or to hold savings in a bank. Islam prohibits the keeping of money in circumstances where interest is earned or where it is paid," Ms Kalam said.
"My mother has always held our savings in this way; in the same way the money was kept by her for me to buy number 48. Now, in turn, I am providing my income for my mother to keep in the same way."
She said her brothers both contributed from their wages every month to the money held by her mother.
They had all explained to police that this was the sum total of their collective contributions, she said. However, Ms Kalam claimed officers had not once asked her mother about it.
"We cannot understand how and why a further false account is being printed about our family," she added. "What is being said is reckless and wrong and being recycled by those who wish to believe the worst of my family and ensure that their slur reaches the widest audience."

True, but our locally-produced bunch of murdering nut-cases didn't want to blow themselves up along with their victims! The Sinn Fein/IRA murderers always wished to get away with their foul deeds, and did not emulate, to the best of my memory, the twisted killers who massacred the fifty-six nearly a year ago!

The last time I checked keeping £30k+ in banknotes in your house wasn't a crime.

"The last time I checked keeping £30k+ in banknotes in your house wasn't a crime"
Oh yes it is - well anyway being in possession of more than £1,000 in cash is now an arrestable offence: you have to convince the police that holding this amount of cash is entirely legitimate. I assume that the brothers must have convinced the police of the legitimacy of the £30,000 under the bed since they were not charged with any offence at all. Or maybe they (the Met) were just fed up with having their ears bent by Gareth.
