Well they can move to the UK, get an upmarket, council paid accommodation and spew their hatred to one and all.

If you object to the plans to expand how they spy on you and me sign up to an organisation called 38 degrees. It will not cost you anything although like this website you can make donations.

The problem is that it cannot always be known in advance who is a potential terrorist or major criminal.
However such information should only be available to police etc. in particular circumstances and with a warrant.

You are right in that the authorities may not know in advance who amongst us are terrorists or criminals but that does not mean that they should have the right to spy on individuals without good cause.

Concerns among expats in India
2 Apr: Expat Forum. India can be a very complicated and a very diverse place in which to live and there are challenges faced by expats in India… The potential challenges: Cost of Living… Loneliness … Cultural differences … Relationship problems … Healthcare … Those who want to sit back and refuse to integrate with the local population and appreciate the local culture could have a very lonely and a very disappointing life in India

Did you see in one of the newspapers to-day that Russell Brand is buying a large Estate in India!! Wonder if he will have problems with registering his property.

Apart from the purchase of property, why to you call this article "crap"? This is an Expat Forum, you call yourselves 'expats'. Why is it "crap"?

The Marigold Hotel filmis based on the novel "These Foolish Things" -which was written in the days when 5 year x visas were regularly given out to Brits.
Unfortunately the film makers overlooked the change to visas when they made the film.
Womder how many people will be sucked into thinking they can be non Indian origin expats in India due to the feel good factor of this film

Dread - x

Hope he checks out his legal standing first - unless of course he has a bit of Indian in him

He probably has the same nationality qualifications as Jade Jagger? Or all those Russians quietly buying property?

How about visas for a start?

Ignoring Tourist ..........impossible

How about Employment? Do you read about how difficult it is to get one of them? And the salary to qualify? No poblem with cost of living then!

Business? No right to remain, so useless.

So lets ignore visas too.

Cultural differences and integration? Aren't we talking about expats here.................. or immigrants?

Oh sorry that wouldn't make any difference either.

Read it again and see if you still think its wonderful, or just a collection of glib generalisations

Yours gratefully
An Ex-ex-pat
