I have some issues with all this panic about evacuating Brits from Libya
No-one, and I mean no-one, ever went to Libya without knowing what sort of place they were going to - the oil field trash (the correct technical term within the oil business I hasten to add) especially
They decided to go and they are/were very well remunerated for the risks - and most of them try and avoid UK tax on it too
When the brown stuff hits the fan it ill becomes them to squawk and scream for help IMHO
