Come to Britain free housing, free medical care, free social security and free education into the bargain.This is a joke There are 60,000 Goans living and working in Britain,there are maybe 3,000 Brits who have bought property in Goa The Brits live and let live not like the paranoid Goans. They don't have to ban the sales of Land this would be to honest they sell it to the Brits knowing that they can't register it or sell it this way they are on to a winner all way. :curse::curse::curse::curse: http://www.navhindtimes.com/story.php?story=2009020627 The stupid writer is now bringing in the Welsh people who do not want people moving into their seaside villages. Whether you live in England Ireland Scotland or Wales, once you have made an offer on a property, you consult a solicitor, mortgage advisor/pay cash. Surveyors survey the property and look into the land side of the deal. When all is cleared legally, you pay your deposit, exchange contracts, and then pay the final payment WHEN EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER AND THE PROPERTY IS REGISTERED WITH THE LAND REGISTRY. This does not matter what colour or creed you are. or if you are from another planet. The property is then yours, and the UK Government cannot take the property away from you.:curse: |
Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Well said Noni. There is a world of difference which the author in the newspaper seems to ignore or not understand.
Yes it may be true that some individual people in both our countries dislike the notion of any outsiders moving in to what they consider their homeland. That is what the article should say. But of course it tries to imply something more more than this. However as you correctly pointed out, the difference between Goa and the Uk is that it is only the Goan government which is consistently reinterpreting the rules to suit its own purposes and threatening to confiscate property already bought and to ban land sales in future. In the Uk this is not the case. The government is not doing this and would be very unlikely to do this. The author dislikes the fact that we are complaining. Just imagine for a second the situation if it were reversed. If the UK were to take this stance just think of all the complaining from the 60,000 Goans who have built their lives there. My view is that the media here in Goa is not concerned with facts but sees its role as spreading anti foreigner propaganda at any opportunity. In a civlised country this would be seen as " racist" and " harassment" but sadly not here. |

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Help at long last from the Foreign (pour me another G&T Clive) Orifice ! :thumbdown:
Don't roam in short skirts ! 11 Feb: MidDay (Mumbai). That's the advice issued by the British foreign office to its women travelling to Goa amid other precautionary measures in the wake of the unsolved mysterious death of Scarlett Keeling… Of the 126 foreign nationals who died in Goa in the last two years, nearly 40 are British nationals… Swapnil Naik, director, Goa Tourism, said the Rs 700 crore tourism industry in Goa had witnessed a fall in turnover post negative media coverage over the Scarlett Keeling episode… Noni you have been warned !:beer: Whatever next ? "Careless talk costs lives ! :rofl: |

You frequently read in the papers here that "nearly 4 people were killed" or "almost 7 were arrested" J5 Understandable if its a group of enormous Russian women, as they tend to merge into one amorphous mass! |

Anybody got Boris's email address perhaps he can tell Milliband and Vaz to pull their FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFinger out and help us with out property problem. |
Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Worrying that the likes of Vaz is not just any old backbencher but the Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee. He is the one pushing for the need for Brtian to be multi cultural and diverse ( as per the Times today_). Pity he doesn't push for that in Goa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what Bee must mean - another money grabbing two faced :curse::curse::curse::curse::curse::curse: We could all use the FFFFFF word to him I say good old Boris. Has Vaz helped us NO, just lipservice to his Goan paymasters. |
Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Hi - new to this but, as I seem to share this forums (and Boris's) feelings for the Right Horrible Gentleman I thought I would share this article.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ess-class.html Whilst Mr Vaz surely cannot be held to account for accepting a free upgrade - even if it did mean being separated from his children! - I can't help wondering whether the £48 Jet kindly charged me & others to "upgrade" from economy to economy went towards paying for his 5 course meal! :curse: |
