Being critical of Imran Khan makes him a “Trumper”? You know he worked for the Imran Khan government?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Probably one of the ones that gleefully stabbed him in the back when it came to that dodgy vote of no confidence with a massive external influence. 'Incoming Noon government' my arse. It was a farce.
No, Khan appointed him to the Economic Advisory Council and a week later he was forced off it due to being Ahmadi. Was discussed in this thread at the time.
on potential arrest of imran khan. would be disastrous for pakistan. only just reelected and widely considered on track to sweep general elections
Wish Pakistan would just cut ties with the Americans, same corrupt people supported but the same corrupt superpower.
it's this part that fuels the prosecution imo. after the dissolution of parliament, khan came back and swept the by-election in what was basically a personal reelection. which points to him being reelected again at next cycle. not sure if arresting him will work. look at lula in brazil. he's going to sweep the presidential elections unless a state coup is put in play. same will be true of khan. most popular pakistani leader in generations.
but yeah pakistan has systemic problems. those installed were living in london at the time as you might know and were under investigation for all kinds of crimes. the government now is made up of literal criminals.
It's truly scandalous, the Americans would never put up with such criminals in their own office but have no issue propping them up in Pakistan. But the whole system in Pakistan needs a complete overhaul otherwise it will never come out of a failed state status.
It's said that in other countries the State has an army. Only in Pakistan does the army has a State.
Over 1,000 dead now. Some horrific scenes.

Reading more about the Pakistan flooding, how 1/3 of the country is under water. For context, the area of Pakistan is 790,000km2, so the area flooded is ~265km2.
The area of England is 130,000km2!
So an area TWICE the size of England is underwater due to unprecedented flooding. I wonder what the climate change deniers will say about this.

Who is denying reports about flooding?
I was meaning the climate change deniers, will edit.
Devastating scenes from Pakistan.
Not a climate change denier by any means but with the Pakistan situation there is more to it.
India and dams being the main issues.
Pakistan needed dams but successive govts haven't built them. India has and there is a sense of them causing some of the issues in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Edit: not blaming India for the floods in Pakistan. Just wish the countries would work together to resolve some of the issues killing loads every year

Millions of people need urgent help in Pakistan. Devastating floods have killed over a thousand people and left more than 6 million in desperate need, with conditions expected to worsen as rains continue.
Floods have destroyed and badly damaged more than a million homes in Pakistan, sweeping away entire communities, livelihoods, crops, schools and roads. With a third of the country estimated to be under water - an area the size of the UK - people urgently need food, clean drinking water and shelter.
DEC charities are working directly or through local partners to help save lives, providing food, temporary shelter, medical aid, clean water and sanitation to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. But with 2 million acres of crops and 794,000 livestock already lost, funds are urgently needed to reach more people.

His image is missing the flooding in KPK, Punjab and Balochistan.
Wait is the 1/3 reports really true or do they mean like 1/3 of the population which would still be huge, something doesn't sound right.
These are the districts which have been flooded.

Former PM of Pakistan Imran Khan injured in firing.
Shot in the leg. Surprised he’s lasted this long to be honest. Only a matter of time before he’s killed
Will be interesting to see where it goes from here. The struggle must continue, it's us or the establishment, Pakistan cannot belong to both.
Yeah but since the Sharifs are back in power theres not much thats going to change. Same old Pak, corrupt leaders who have stolen billions out of the country get to swan about like they are the Kardashians.
The Sharif's and the now totally corrupted army are going about shooting people with impunity. Before we always had the army to save us. Now we're totally fecked.
Thankfully the injuries don't appear to be serious.
Its going to kick off big time tonight outside Sharif's residence in London. The scumbags daughter (Maryam) is in the area as well.

I love how the headline on the guardian article has assassination attempt in quotation marks, I guess it's still disputed if someone was trying to kill Imran Khan or was firing guns in celebration and mistakenly pointed towards him

I was tempted to check what the BBC site was going to say as well. But I'm not going to give them my hit. Strictly sticking to Al Jazeera.I love how the headline on the guardian article has assassination attempt in quotation marks, I guess it's still disputed if someone was trying to kill Imran Khan or was firing guns in celebration and mistakenly pointed them towards him
Not in the know with regards to Pakistani politics but whats with them constantly trying to off political figures?
It’s the same in Pakistan or wherever around the globe. A man standing for change and progression of the country, thinking of the nation and not his own back pocket. A voice for the people, and what have you. The people who have been stealing from the country for decades won’t allow it hence the assassination attempt.
Its most likely a ploy to gain sympathy. The assassins in Pakistan usually get their target if they really want to.
Keep believing the rubbish they feed us all. The whole professional armed forces stuff has been exposed.
14 people were injured one was killed. His 3 kids were stood trying to wake up thier dead dad.
People like you think it's a ploy.
The Pakistani armed forces have done more damage to Pakistan than any enemy of Pakistan. They own the country and operate it as thier personal fiefdom.

The feck? I'm not pro armed forces or anything, don't have any horse in this game. Just pointing out that if a political leadership is targeted for elimination, then they usually succeed. Its not like Imran Khan is being provided extra security or anything, from the current government.

everyone knows the sharif clan are utterly corrupt, living billionaire lifestyles on the back of the Pak people, and yet a significant chunk of the people still think they are the saviours of Pakistan. madness. but then again, we have the toffs in charge here propped up by the working classes, and the trump crowd in the states by the christians....
