Why the hell are we as a country putting our troop's lives at risk to rescue ex-pats and tax dodgers? if you wish to go and work in Dubai/Algeria/ Middle East etc, taking the big dollars then good for you. But you should be prepared to accept that potentially you are standing into danger; and you should not expect HMG to come and get you(stand fast Brit Embassy staff etc). Make your beds and lay in them!! For too long these oil workers et al have been able to get away with their tax dodges, despite supposedly being proud Brits; yet when they are taken ill they rush home to get the good old NHS to look after them. Let them rot in bloody Yemen.
Some of us were on a grey war canoe "in the area" in '86 for the last effort.
Some of us came to the middle east because some cowardly
drove several aircraft into buildings and we lost our jobs while others lost a lot more.
Some of us have/still pay taxes so why shouldn't we use the NHS.
Some of us think that being in the ME is generally safer than certain parts of the UK.
Some of us are still "proud Brits".
Some of us have worked bloody hard to make the best of things and lay in our nice, soft fluffy beds.
If you're happy where you are, great. But don't have a go at "us" for making the most of what we have and have given to you.
