UK's Sunak hurt and angry over Reform volunteer's racial slur

[313Ghazi]

LONDON: A temple serving 18,000 Hindus in Peterborough and surrounding counties has been thrown a lifeline by a high court judge who has issued a temporary injunction preventing the sale of the building it is in to a mosque.

The Bharat Hindu Samaj Temple (BHS) was established in the New England Complex in Peterborough in 1986 by Ugandan Hindu refugees. Apart from being a place of worship, it offers luncheon clubs for the elderly, runs a dementia centre, yoga classes, and Indian language classes.

Peterborough city council decided to sell the building. In Oct 2025 the temple put in a £1.4 million bid to purchase it. It was one of two bidders. In Dec the council cabinet decided to sell it to “Bidder B”. The identity was never disclosed by the council, but the temple found out via its solicitors that it was a mosque.
This decision was called in by the scrutiny committee amid concerns proper processes were not followed but the cabinet reaffirmed its decision on Feb 10. This triggered the temple to commence a judicial review in the London high court challenging the council’s decision, naming the Masjid Khadijah and the Islamic Centre of Khadijah mosque in Peterborough as interested parties.

TLDR...

They've been using the building as a temple rent free, council is broke so is selling the building, masjid was one of the bidders and won. Temple Community taking council to court stating possible irregularities.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, but Peterborough is not too far from where i am and i can't see why the council would sell to anyone other than the highest bidder.

That's just insensitive.

If it comes to a straight cash war though - you're not messing with the Peterborough bens though. They're gonna get them committees out from under the mattress.

"izzat besti na mamla hai".

This is typical behavior. They initially got the temple rent free and continued unconcerned for 40 years ! Now the council wants to sell the building for cash they raise a ruckus.

 

[Master Chief]

Hypocritical hindus would cite this tax dodging behaviour as reason enough to confiscate this building if it was a masjid in India.

We should simply ignore political lobbying by malevolent forces in UK?

Perhaps you do not live among the modern generation of British hindus to understand their insidious designs.

Again how are we going to resolve this sitting on PDF? I'm open to ideas. But this is first and foremost a defence forum.

What have we ever resolved sitting on pdf bro.

Its discussion, gapshap.

India vs Pakistan in our locality.

Who knows - one of the brothers might be from Peterborough. In the UK community nearly everyone has a cousin there.

First and foremost, we must be cognisant and believing of the threat. It caught us off guard when it started rearing its ugly head - diaspora led apologism for and rehabilitation of Modi's "brand" after his ostracisation 2 decades ago, active villification of and conspiracy against Pakistan and British Pakistanis in British Indian fora, marriage of convenience between far right white and diaspora hindutva communities...

This took British Pakistanis by surprise precisely because we brushed the soft signs and the subtle hints under the carpet as some "fringe" narrative.

It really is not fringe, but mainstream Indian diaspora malevolence against our interests.

The generation of yours and mine would of course have experienced genuine camaraderie between different brown diaspora groups way back when, but that is long gone, and British Indians as a group (barring some genuine exceptions) now regard British Pakistanis as unworthy of any association and even as an open enemy.

We ignored them when they booed Moeen Ali because of his Pakistani heritage. Before long, the Indians enacted a "jayshreeram" march after another cricket match and brought Leicester to a standstill because of our obliviousness.

Gloves are off mate.

They know it too. They're reading.

The gloves are off and it isn't just the indian hindus who are our most hated enemy. The indian sikhs are just as Islamaphobic and anti-Pakistani as the indian hindus are.

However, things are changing in the UK. The white english right-wing/racist movements are now becoming extremely anti-indian too. The marriage of convenience is over. The white english hate the indians too because of the number of indians allowed into the uk since 2020.

The uk indians are more of a nuisance than a threat to us because they cannot mess with UK Pakistanis/Muslims and everyone knows it.
