I see they only managed to catch a fruit seller, probably Grandmama, she probably can not run fast enough. The Tourist board should licence some of those that have been selling on the beach for years then get rid of the rest.

Unbelievable that the law against corporal punishment in schools does not apply to part time schooling and these animals are allowed to get away with both physical and mental abuse.

Like everything else they just do as they like in our country.:thumbdown:

Presumably nursery schools that are part time, ie less than 12.5 hours a week, are also outside the law against corporal punishment. Perhaps there aren't any.

Indian doctors are increasingly coming to the UK to encourage childless British couples to use their surrogacy programmes, in a country where the multi-million business remains unregulated.

So comparatively few rioters were of asian background even in areas where a high proportion of the population were of asian origin.

I tend to think 'bloody p*ss takers!...we're paying all the tax and they get everything for nothing!' - including waste recycling and bin collection at a site near me. I know most travellers don't have to pay college fees as they are exempt under the widening participation category - well at least at my college anyway. HOWEVER.......I have to admit I know very little about the travelling community so don't feel well informed enough to justify my opinions.

And also, I watched Traffic cops one night and the Police were trying to stop a driver who was driving a van and looked about 14 - which he was. Anyway it turned out when they followed him back to his traveller site that the Police were turned on by the whole camp and had to make a hasty retreat. They seem to also be above the law.

But when you've scammed quite a few billion from the Government (Reliance Telecom 2G scam) then what a few millions for a building?
