Something was nagging that made me re-visit the article, which describes the lack of virtually everything at this government run childrens home, and specifically a change of clothing.....yes each kid only has one set of clothes.

This morning I must have just dismissed it as a normal Goan disgrace, but something made me look again.
There are TEN kids in this home.....10 not a 100 or a thousand, and in the corrupt bribery ridden cess-pit that is Goa 2011, no-one can spare a few rupees out of their lakhs of "cream off" to buy 10 shirts and ten pairs of shorts, which would have meant this embarrassment would never have made the press and given the world another reason to look at the regime with the distaste it deserves.

Surely the "Gob-a-lot" politicians like Churchill, Mickky, Baboosh et al could deal with this and bask in the glory of it all?

Pitiful idiots

Definitely enraged Steve. Especially what we're seeing this morning about the amnesty for asylum seekers. 160,000 more to take care off! I'll be working until I'm 90!!!!

Just seen "Asylum Amnesty" on the news - who was the main guy !Vasaline Vaz). Now if they keep their heads down 6 - 8 years they can stay.
Many of us have kept our heads down and our purses open for 9 years and are still being harrassed in India.

Let's have something positive for India today after all it's your country too.
Sania Mirza is in the womens doubles final at the French Open.
Good luck to them.:thumbup:

Noni can you clarify as I didn't hear the news and don't read the Mail.
1. How many of those allowed to stay are Indian?
2. From what I have read elsewhere Keith Vaz has described the UK Border
Agency as "still not fit for purpose" how is he responsible? (I don't support
Keith Vaz by the way). It seems to be gross inefficiency by last Gov. and
this one to allow such a 'back log'.
3. It took India a 100 years to get rid of the British last time, so you should
be alright. :thumbup: Difference this time is that you have the support
of ordinary Indian people. (At least all that I have spoken to.)

Don't know about Noni but I neither know or care how many were Indian. What's that got to do with anything? We're talking about asylum seekers not someone's race??

How are non-Indian asylum seekers a subject for this forum?

So we cannot talk about anything on this forum unless it's about Goan/Indians?? I'm sorry, my apologies, I thought everyone was welcome to talk about anything. such as the 'gossip and chit chat' thread. Unbelievable!!!
