I’m already that they would come in and recipe tonight because there’s a huge force outside. They have not just the police, they’ve got the rangers there too, which is the army. And it seems as if Pakistan’s biggest terrorist is holed up inside. So I think they are determined the reason why they want to rescue is not that they’re worried about the rule of law, because the biggest criminals are right now sitting in government. 60 per cent of the cabinet is on bail on corruption cases.”

So all opinion, according to all opinion polls, we would sweep this upcoming election and that’s why they want me removed from the scene.”
