I have found that the people that complain the loudest about ex-pats not paying taxes are those with their hands deepest in the benefits bucket.

1. Any more on this - as the situation in Yemen is still going from bad to worse?

2. Given Yemen's potential to be a failed state (not unlike Afghanistan, but next to the Gulf of Aden shipping lanes) where many Al Qaeda plots are coming from, are we missing the big picture? This will be war#3...

In yesterday's Torygraph was an article which said that despite FO warnings to get out of Yemen there were still over 500 Brit passport holders in country. Why are they there; are they stupid, do they not heed warnings. If I stood on a crumbling cliff edge having just climbed over a fence and ignored the 'Danger' signs, and subsequently fell over the side (and magically survived), should I expect compassion? Fek them, thats what I say.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

And from the Torygraph the day before - the AAC Apaches are tooling up for the Yemen.

Nothing like operational security when the political imperative rears its ugly head.
