Mrs Mohammad Siddique Khan's fall from grace

The latest news on the trail of the 7/7 London bombings is that of the arrest of Mrs Mohammad Sidique Khan, Hasina Patel.

In coordinated 7am raids by the Metropolitan Police this morning Hasina Patel, 29, of Thornhill Lees, Dewsbury, was arrested along with two West Yorkshire men, her brother 30-year old Arshad Patel and Khalid Khaliq, 34. A fourth man, 22-year-old Imran Motala, was arrested in the Selly Oak area of Birmingham as part of the coordinated raids.

In the space of just a few years the combined forces of the Khan and Patel families appear to have fallen rather a long way from grace. Or have they?

Mohammad Sidique Khan gained notoriety as the alleged ringleader of the alleged 7/7 bombers. He was formerly a teaching assistant in Leeds working for the school's headteacher Sarah Balfour, the wife of Labour MP for Hemsworth Jon Trickett, at the now defunct Hillside Primary School.

In July 2004, three months after the arrests of the Operation Crevice 'terror cell' to which it is alleged that Mohammad Sidique Khan was intimately connected, the same Operation Crevice on the periphery of which Farida Patel's home was noted while Khan was being followed driving his wife's car, Mohammed Sidique Khan was given a tour of the House of Commons by Labour MP Jon Trickett.

Also in July 2004, around the same time as Khan was being given a tour of the House of Commons, his mother-in-law Farida Patel was pictured at a Buckingham Palace garden party with her husband and their daughter Hasina Patel, in tow. The Hasina Patel at the Queen's garden party in July 2004 is the same Hasina Patel arrested this morning.

Furthermore, 2004 wasn't the first time Farida Patel had been invited to one of the Queen's tea parties. In fact, Farida Patel -- the mother of newly arrested Hasina Patel and the mother-in law of alleged 7/7 ringleader Mohammad Sidique Khan -- made a small piece of history back in 1998 by being the first Asian woman ever to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace.

So, in July of 2004 the entire Khan family were all in London and all of them had been invited by representatives of the State. At least three of Khan's extended family were invited by the Queen with Mohammad Sidique Khan himself entertained by Labour MP Jon Trickett.

The above information was compiled by J7 researchers as part of the ongoing 7/7 investigation being conducted by J7: July 7th Truth Campaign. The information was compiled in a similarly concise format to that in which it appears above only days ago and, as if by magic, the 2004 guest of the Queen, daughter of the 1998 and 2004 guest of the Queen, and the wife of Jon Trickett's guest at the House of Commons, has just been arrested, despite it being 22 months since the events of 7th July 2005 happened.

And, of course no 'intelligence' authorities or the police knew anything about any of this even though they had followed Hasina Patel's car to Farida Patel's house when it was driven there by Mohammed Sidique Khan.

With all of these facts being a little too close to home, is it any wonder the State doesn't want an inquiry into the events of 7/7, even under the nobbled legislative framework of the Inquiries Act 2005 which legally requires all inquiries to be neither public nor independent?


Update: Thanks to Anonymous for the following information about Farida Patel's connections to the State that passed the Inquiries Act 2005 and still refuses a public inquiry into 7/7:

Her [Farida Patel] community work also led to an invitation to Downing Street, where she received an award for her work for the Inner City Religious Council at a ceremony in 1999, hosted by Tony Blair. The local newspaper says she "rubbed shoulders" on that occasion with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon.

....

Mrs Patel, who taught at Dewsbury's Birkdale High School until two years ago and served on the local police forum, added: "I am very well known in the Asian parts of Dewsbury and police often come to my house for advice."

Update 2: ".... it has emerged that [Farida] Patel was a co-opted member of the British government's council of religious leaders from 1996 until 2000. || Patel, who is in her late fifties, was born in Germiston as the daughter of Ismail Patel, an anti-apartheid activist who died in 1973 after he had been under house arrest for 10 years."

Ludicrous Diversion - J7 does LD

Back in September 2006 an anonymously produced video documentary dealing with the events of 7th July 2005 was released via Google video. Since its release the film, Ludicrous Diversion, has been watched over 80,000 times and attracted a lot of high praise from most of the people who bothered to leave comments. There have also been one or two disparaging comments, but these stick out like the sorest of all thumbs and their presence in the comments thread defines the word 'dissonant'.

Alongside the Ludicrous Diversion video upon its release was a brief introduction to its contents:

On the 7th of July 2005 London was hit by a series of explosions. You probably think you know what happened that day. But you don’t.

The police have, from the onset of their investigation, chosen to withhold from the public almost every bit of evidence they claim to have and have provably lied about several aspects of the London Bombings.

The mainstream news has wilfully spread false, unsubstantiated and unverifiable information, while choosing to completely ignore the numerous inconsistencies and discrepancies in the official story.

The government has finally, after a year, presented us with their official ‘narrative’ concerning the event. Within hours it was shown to contain numerous errors, a fact since admitted by the Home Secretary John Reid. They have continuously rejected calls for a full, independent public inquiry. Tony Blair himself described such an inquiry as a ‘ludicrous diversion’. What don’t they want us to find out? Contact ludicrousdiversion@hotmail.com

If you haven't read the official Home Office report into the events of 7th July 2005 referred to above, you should, and can do so by clicking here. It takes minutes to read and you won't learn anything from it about the events of 7th July 2005 because, as the Home Secretary has graciously addressed on more than one occasion, it is full of errors.

What you might learn from the Home Office report, however, is the sub-text behind where State policy and policing in the UK has been headed for long enough to get even the right-wing libertarians a little hot under the collar. Essentially the UK policy of the State Vs. the people (yes, that means you, dear reader) in recent times boils down to:

• No protests, unless you've got express permission from the people against whom you're protesting;
• No flag burning, because flags are symbols of States and people might think that both the symbols and the states they represent are worthy of such treatment;
• No headgear - not a hoodie, nor baseball cap, nor niqab, nor jilbab, nor facial covering of any sort because every working-class person -- now affectionately known as 'criminals', 'terrorists' (there is little, if any, distinction, as Sir Ian Blair told us) and occasionally, still, the 'underclass' -- must now be identifiable and trackable at all times so the large gangs of real, provable, organised criminals, terrorists and the 'overclass' can go about their daily criminal business of being responsible and unaccountable for the greatest crimes against humanity the world has seen for generations, and terrorism that kills innocent lives through the perpetration of 'mass murder on an unimaginable scale' ((c) Herr Doktor John Reid, President Minister Blair, et al), except we don't have to imagine the terror of these criminal gangs for it is very real and it happens every day of the year, not just days with catchy, memorable dates that rhyme like 9/11, 3/11, or even 7/7;
• No chanting - thanks to the ingenuously clever trick of making the most fascistic of all police officers a man of Asian descent, Tariq Ghaffur, the cops' new and vocal mouthpiece, there must definitely be no chanting of chants at the protests you're not allowed to have.
  
  Especially not allowed would be chants from the days when working class people could still afford to go and watch 11 local lads play football against 11 local lads from somewhere else and have a sing-song at the same time in honour of working class heroes such as Harry Roberts.

Reference (to the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down):

Harry Roberts is our friend
Is our friend, is our friend
Harry Roberts is our friend
He kills coppers

Shoots the bastards with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
Shoots the bastards with a gun
Harry Roberts

Shoots the bastards two by two
Two by two, two by two
Shoots the bastards two by two
He kills coppers

Harry Roberts is our friend
Is our friend, is our friend
Harry Roberts is our friend
He kills coppers

Let him out to kill some more
Kill some more, kill some more
Harry Roberts

More of Harry's story later as, even though Harry Roberts' story is over 40 years old and still ongoing, it is perhaps more relevant now than at any point in its 40 year history. However, The Antagonist digresses, albeit not in a ludicrously diversionary sort of way, from the original point - the film, Ludicrous Diversion....

If you haven't seen Ludicrous Diversion yet, you should, and can watch it on Google Video, in three parts on YouTube, via SmallFish Online, or using the video window below.

As a consequence of its anonymous release, Ludicrous Diversion has raised a lot of questions from a lot of people about who is behind the film's production, their motivations for making the film, and what they were endeavouring to achieve by doing so. It is perhaps interesting that the same people weren't asking the same questions about the provenance of the anonymously penned Home Office account of the events of 7th July 2005 which, despite it being the official version of events that took ten months to produce, contained far more verifiable errors than an anonymously produced documentary on the Internet.

In order to try and tackle some of the questions about the film, the July 7th Truth Campaign, never being a group to be hindered by the lack of information about something in the public domain, took it upon themselves to find out more about the film, its producers and their intentions.
