It wasn't a personal attack at all .........................I simply said - no one saw it coming.
Whenever anything out of the ordinary happens you always come on here saying 'they knew the risks'.
For someone so young you have a very one dimensional view of things, IMO

No, it never is your 'intention' is it PP
... All of us take risks every day, calculated risks, and understand that we're doing that. Your calculation is clearly that the people out there should have known this was imminent, I disagree and shall leave it at that.Your BIL clearly left his Nostradamus-type qualities back in the UK. Silly man.
gerr'em out
ooh hang on-i might be on the wrong subject

If it wasnt the Govt responsibility then Cameron would not have apologised for the delay in getting our people out.
Brits work all over the world,its a given that their Govt will do everything possible to get them home should a war break out.

Well Slinki, I do hope that, for e.g. anyone who works on the tube, for airlines, bus companies etc. realises the risk they are taking, and for what MONEY, I'd say tell 'em all to immediately resign and get themselves on benefits...oh and that goes for everyone in the armed forces tooOriginally Posted by Soozy Woo:

'It faced further embarrassment, when Nick Clegg said he "forgot" he was supposed to be running the country in David Cameron's absence.'
Ohh,well that explains the delay in getting people out - it was after 3pm

As Soozy pointed out, Libya has been pretty stable.. certainly deemed stable enough by the powers that be for Blair and his cronies to do deals with .A logical extension of your argument there would mean the UK, with its track record of involvement in conflict, would be deemed a high risk place to work.. should we all be be making plans to relocate?
My Uncle was a diplomat in Libya for a number of years and it was a heck of a lot more stable (and safer) there than it was in 1980s Britain. What is happening now has taken everyone by surprise. Sooops, glad your BiL is back home
