Tony Blair and Foreign Office: Don’t Rock the Boat With India on Sai Baba

We know that at the most senior levels of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office British Labor MP Tony Colman, former member for Putney, was abruptly told to back off on Sai Baba because India as a world power must be placated.

Do 66 Hawk Class Jet Fighters Really Protect The Young?

In 2000, the U.K. government made desperate efforts to beat off its fierce aeronautical competitor the U.S. for a contract to sell India fighter aircraft.

Trade Preoccupation Threatens U.K. Citizens, Young and Old

We found that Blair himself ordered the Fraud Squad of the London Metropolitan Police actions to desist from further investigation of Sai Baba related matters, on the grounds that these were “International matters”.
