GOA, INDIA
Why go back? In a nutshell, it’s the local people that make Goa special. It helps, of course, that the sun shines constantly in the winter months, the food is a delicious mix of spices and herbs and you can shop at a fraction of UK prices. But when the Portuguese finally pulled out after ruling this little corner of India for more than 400 years, they left behind a delightful polyglot of Christians, Muslims and Hindus who always make holidaymakers feel welcome. Cattle graze in the lush countryside curious children tug your sleeve wanting to know which football team you support. It all comes with a smile.

Yes, having a handbag snatched must be very upsetting but keeping things in perspective, this event in Tenerife is horrendous.

Keith Vaz for right to appeal for family visitor visas in UK 13 May:
Economic Times. Leading NRI Labour MP Keith Vaz has cautioned the British government against going ahead with its leaked plans to do away with the right of appeal for family visitor visas, saying such a move would affect millions of families and Britain's relations with its partners abroad… more than 80,000 relatives of British families are refused visas to visit them each year… figures show that only 25 per cent of appeals were dismissed last year

Apparently he used a knife that he stole from the shop she was near/in! Bloody unbelievable, what sort of shop was it that sells knives capable of decapitating someone!
