Yeah thats about the size of it unfortunately, but I wonder what the locals think ? do they think its acceptable to have there daughters locked up and beaten for being raped ? would be interesting to here there views on the matter , it would make it more balanced dont you think ? btw our guys shouldnt have been down there in the first place (Iraq, Afghanistan, sierra leone etc...) its all about oil and our troops are dying left right and centre, bring em back, let someone shoulder any burden, our troops are worth more than a few gallons of oil.

Nice try, but Saudi Arabia isn't a muslim run state, it's a totalitarian patriarchal monarchy with a veneer of islam on top, to give them greater legitimacy. Or rather, wahhabbism. Sad thing is, there's nothing in the religion to support stuff like this, but it's still going to be used to justify it- one of the problems with religion, it's too easy to abuse.

B Billy I used to drive out there from UK and the first lesson is if you run somebody over in the desert make sure they are dead
A while back I had a old capri and a Saudi Prince ran into the back of me in his Bentley coming back from the races drunk as a lord [A2 London] The police couldn't touch him and wouldn't even stop him from driving and when he flung £500 at me and spat on me I went to clump him and got "Restrained" by the police They don't value life the same as Westerners and don't even think like us |

The comment was made on TV but I was doing the job mid 70's and that is probably where it stems from as this was the practice of all western truck drivers.Nobody to blame or claim from you. The incident with the Prince was on the slip A2/Blackheath about 10yrs ago
A sample of the mentality I had a full fridge of Cadbury Chocolate Swiss Rolls but the customs made me park in the desert compound with the doors open and fridge off for three days.Their reasoning,the paperwork was English and not in Swiss. Result,one soggy melted mess that had to be shovelled out of the fridge and a 18 month insurance claim which was never paid I have been chastised on this site before for saying what I think of the Arab nation and I have my reasons |
