Re: U.K Tram incident

Everybody in a society contributes to it whether they pay tax or not. Those on benefits provide a market for goods and services and refrain from rioting and revolution. The UK wouldn't be able to...

Are you so true to your name that you care only about economics and not social or human costs?

Even economically, this model works. Japan is an example of a country which invests...

No more skilled migrants = more education, more training and higher employment levels for those already in the UK

Re: U.K Tram incident

Are you ignoring the CCTV video footage showing a sustained attack which was shown in court also?

Re: Can anyone recommend a good swimming pool for western women in Riyadh?

Not in Saudi you can't

No matter how nice Andy may be, it would be crazy to go to his house alone if he was also single

Re: Can anyone recommend a good swimming pool for western women in Riyadh?

Do Saudi women themselves go out a lot in groups?

How do mixed sex groups work? Are they OK if some of the group are married or related?

Re: Can anyone recommend a good swimming pool for western women in Riyadh?

Re: Can anyone recommend a good swimming pool for western women in Riyadh?

Thanks for your concern Tockalosh. Obviously I wouldn't be going on my own to Andy's pool if he was a single man alone in Saudi :-)
