hindu lady rescues british economy from collapse, now ready to rescue the whole world
harmony
that although idi amin kicked out her family, she is the best friend the
african countries can have. she quickly rose to become gordon brown's most
trusted economy advisor in britain.
she is very fierce and well feared. some quotes about her:
"Phones burned as staff called Treasury friends for advice on how to handle
Westminster's most terrifying woman. Born to a Ugandan Indian family of high
Hindu caste, her roots partly explain why she bonded with Mr Brown over
African poverty, development and debt relief when she arrived at the
Treasury in 1999 after 14 years at the investment bank UBS Warburgs. She had
worked on ways to control her homeland's spiralling debt and pioneered
privatisations in South Africa".
another:
According to one official, the Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil
service, Sir Gus O'Donnell, dreaded her arrival. "He thinks she is a menace
of the first order. On occasions she would even tear Tony (Blair) off a
strip for failing to get development policy right." Sir Gus need not have
worried. Mr Brown had bigger ideas for someone who, unusually for him, he
regards as close to an intellectual equal.

Baroness Shriti Vadera, the business minister who is one of U.K. Prime
Minister Gordon Brown's closest advisors, will resign from her role to take
a position liaising with the Group of 20 industrial and developing nations,
Mr. Brown said.
Mr. Brown said in a statement that he had asked Baroness Vadera to take up a
role, based at Downing Street, as a G-20 liaison. In her new job, Baroness
Vadera will work with South Korea, the next country to take the helm of the
G-20, following a request by South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
Baroness Vadera will assume the new role next month and will "help manage
the transition from the U.K. to the South Korean Presidency" of the G-20,
Downing Street said in a statement. Lord Meryvn Davies, the minister for
trade investment and business, will assume her ministerial responsibility,
it said
A former investment banker, Baroness Vadera joined the U.K. Treasury while
Mr. Brown was Treasury chief. She became a close aide who went on to take a
leading role in Britain's bailout of its troubled banking system a year ago.
Though Mr. Brown says Baroness Vadera is set to remain at Downing Street,
the move will still likely be interpreted by some in Britain as a blow to
Mr. Brown on the eve of his party's all-important conference next week. For
over a year now Mr. Brown's government has been hit by a series of
resignations amid internal feuding, a declining economy and questions over
the government's long-term strategy.
Ms. Vadera was also one of the last of a group of nonelected officials that
Mr. Brown appointed as part of what he called a government of all the
talents, or goats as they were soon nicknamed. Recent departures have
included health minister Lord Ara Darzi; Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, a foreign
minister; and Lord Stephen Carter, a media minister.
Baroness Vadera, currently the minister for economic competitiveness, small
business and enterprise, had a reputation as a tough-talking and aggressive
negotiator who was liked and loathed equally in the corridors of Britain's
Whitehall government district. The U.K. press had recently speculated that
she would become the U.K.'s next commissioner at the European Commission.
Baroness Vadera couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Because, unlike you, she doesn't have a consuming hatred of Christians.
