Ok, so this article is the usual old b*ll*cks we have come to expect from Goan politicians, tourists are to blame for being raped because they wear clothes that "tease", a 9 year old child is to blame for being seriously assaulted as the situation was "not right", etc, etc.

What fascinates me is the last paragraph stating 2 million tourists visit Goa each year, of which half a million are foreigners. This is not the first time I have seen these figures quoted recently. The last substantiated figures (in Goan terms, of course) I have seen refer to the British dropping below 100,000 and the Russians threatening to overtake them, although the actual figures from Russia seem to be closer to 40,000. If this is the case with the two largest nations by far, where the hell are the rest coming from?

Apart from Mickky the Moron's imagination of course.

Or is it just the Goan tendency to take an actual figure and triple it? Oh no, thats just prices isn't it?

Statistics: Probably adding the numbers of bus, rail and air passengers, doubling that for car traffic into the state, add 30% for trucks carrying unidentified travellers/hitch hikers, and throw in an extra 20% for cross border foot travel, and you could possibly come up with 2 million. Now, marry that up with the electoral roll of people who can actually vote from the grave, multiply all of that with 20, and Goa has its population census done. After doing all that, add another 50% for Brit expats, and you can see that all the woes, filth, red spittle, yellow piss, human waste, moral corruption, lawlessness, is the fault of foreigners (not Russians, not Israelis, not drunken out of staters). Poor Goans. All overwhelmed by outsiders. They cannot even get jobs of any status within their own state, because foreigners have flown in to take up their civil service jobs. But they have consolation in knowing that some fellow, with a french passport named "Singh" will come in all warrior like and save their damned souls.

Nice to see the times online:thumbsup:....... naming and shaming Goa and publishing that people have experienced problems purchasing there.
I hope the agents in Britain that are still selling these properties see this.
Shame on the b*st*rds

Govt takes action against foreigners in Goa under FEMA


The government today said it has initiated proceedings against more than a dozen foreign nationals and companies for offences relating to purchase of property and transfer of funds.

"During the last three years, 15 show-cause notices have been issued by the Enforcement Director for contravention of the provisions of FEMA and Regulations made thereunder to persons/ companies in Goa," Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in the Rajya Sabha.

"These noticees are either foreign nationals or companies in which foreign nationals are directors," Mukherjee said.

In one case, adjudication proceedings have been completed that resulted in imposition of penalty of Rs 2 lakh besides confiscation of property worth Rs 4 lakh, he said.

"Adjudication proceedings are continuing in respect of the remaining 14 cases," the Minister said.

Describing the nature of violations, he said the offences include acquisition and transfer of immovable property in India by persons resident outside India.

Transfer or issuance of shares of an Indian company in favour of a foreign national without receipt of consideration amount by way of inward remittances from abroad is another abuse, he said.

Further, bringing in of foreign exchange from abroad as FDI under automatic route by companies and utilisation of the same for a prohibited purpose is also a common offence in Goa, Mukherjee said.

No idea, £50k was T Cheques, hope he canceled them!
By the way anybody know what happened to so many FN over the years who were found dead in room,(drugs suspected) sleuthes NOT pressed into action and no more news?
No way any locals could be involved is there!
Also how is it if a Russian beats a goan taxi driver and he breathes his last the charge is murder?(not premeditated)
But if two locals drug rape and kill a 15 year old girl it's manslaughter.(meditated)
Funny as **** this lot, but I aint laughing.:thumbdown:

It really does make you wonder. Maybe, just maybe, Russia's military connections with India have something to do with it.

I ask why is all the crime in the 'drug belt' north of Anjuna? Surely the police and villagers know who are to blame.:thumbdown:
