Goa school rape: Headmistress arrested

20 Jan: IBNS. Goa police have hinted at more arrests in the brutal rape of a minor in the Vasco port town after formally arresting headmistress Sharlet Furtado for negligence of duty. Her arrest comes after sustained campaign from the victim’s parents and locals demanding immediate arrest of the rapist, who is yet to be found, and all those involved in the abetment including the headmistress who is also suspected to have destroyed forensic evidences…

India no place for foreign women?

20 Jan: Times of India. … Local women have a tough time reporting a sexual offence, what chance do they have as foreigners? … At an even greater disadvantage are those women who don't come from the English-speaking world and, therefore, do not dare move an inch without help from their foreign offices

Just arrived back from Tamil Nadu where my close friend Sagiam lives. He works for a 5 star hotel as a security guard doing 12 hour shifts 6 days a week.His wage is Rps 8000 a month.His actual wage is Rps 12,000 but the company who employ him take Rps 4000 as commission.His wife works in a ball point pen factory doing 10 hour shifts 6 days a week for around 6 to 7,000 Rps a month.They have two boys aged 13 and 15 years old.The cost of living in Tamil Nadu is much more than Goa, according to Sagiam.He worked in Goa for over 10 years and he says education in Goa is much better than in TN. Says rice is cheaper too.

Spain seems to moving in the right direction by first labeling migrants as Economic Migrants and demanding that they provide 5 years private medical insurance proof before they are allowed to register in their chosen areas. No state handouts in the form of Unemployment Benefit until they have paid into the system for 5 years too. All it would take in the UK is a simple change of rules back dated to when the person or persons first registered for Community Charge at their Town Hall......There would be queues at Victoria Coach Terminal for coaches back to Poland, Lithuania and Rumania with Bulgaria as the next stop..Hackney & Harringey would benefit as their schools and hospitals are seriously over loaded by unplanned immigration caused by New Labours attempts to buy votes in inner London local elections to keep the Conservatives out.Thank you Tony Blair and that Scottish idiot Gordon Brown nose......just a simple of change of rules that does not require a parliamentarian act.Could be done tomorrow if they wanted too but Cameron is a coward Noni

I've just bought a job lot of 1 million pairs of earplugs if anyone is interested (you cannot buy decent ones in Goa, I tried hard)........ can't do anything about the traffic though

But pretty sure our Russian friends have access to surplus tactical nuclear devices? Just stop one in the street and ask.........................
