    Crazy tourists

    Just why do people risk their lives by travelling to dodgy muslim countries ? They must have a death wish.

    It must be hard for a "me first, me only" Thatcherite like you to understand, but some people have an altruistic vocational desire to leave the world a better place rather than just plundering it for anything they can get.

      You really are a bitter individual. It's just a shame that your cohorts have plundered UK since 1997 and left us with debt that will take until 2032 to repay. Labour really had a vocational desire to help us.

      As far as the workers are concerned in Yemen, they must have been aware of the risks and therefore in my view were crazy to be there regardless of their desire to propagate goodwill. I feel desperately sad for their children who had no choice but to follow the stupid will of their parents.

          The purpose of altruism is to disseminate your genes:

            That's an insult to Thatcherites. CT would vote BNP, but they're a bit too left-wing.

                  Altruism can drop one in the tulip, as I've found to my cost in the past.

                    Thing is the Cybercretin is too incompetent to do any plundering in the real world, apart from the benefit system which he knows like the back of his hand.
                    Typical lower class "Tory" whose "principles" are marked more by their non-observance.
