OK South Coast I will conceed on this one. Its just sad to see so many good folks . My Zim and Saffer mates , getting screwed.( MRs is a Saffer) One cannot blame the UK for protecting themselves from the war on terror bla bla. But using the same logic , then the Americans should sanction all Britts ( as some of the Guantamao bay ( ex inmates , therefore terrorists) were in fact also Britts !!! , or perhaps the Yanks should sanction Canada because a few of them were Cannucks !!! and even one Australian . But not a single Saffer .Its all double standards and we can all justify any action we see fit.
As for the Neutral Swiss , WTF !!!
Lets be real and not try and hide the real reasons under the disguise of the bloody war on terror. The truth is they are worried about illegal immigration , and defectors overstaying their welcome.etc Here we (Britts)have a right to take a tough stand ( hence the regulations). But lets say it the way it is.
The SA government has dropped the ball , no doubt . But why is so much money spent on Interpol , military intel , bla bla. When we have to resort to generic ( one policy fits all legislation). We plead our rights and freedoms , yet if they are taken away from others thats OK .
Perhaps our resources should look in house in the UK. Given that many of the recent 'attacks" on our soil were from " UK passport holders)
