    One wonders if there's some German or Swiss contractors' board that would suit said posters better, seeing as all they ever post here is stuff denigrating the UK.

    It's your imagination. A few years ago you didn't have ultra-sensitive film or sensors in cameras, so low light exposures took time. People were asked to stand still, but if you had someone who moved their head, it would appear a blur.

    Anyway, tell us why you love Saudi Arabia?

    That still happens now in many places in Africa where the slave trade still thrives

    or is that everyone else's fault to?

    I suppose the starbucks coffee shop at BAE Systems tastes better. It's many miles away from the exported munitions that find its way to Saudi before it's dropped on Yemen civilians. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    Don't go to Saudi then either.
    If conditions were right then I'm sure the troops would be brought back. However, we don't live in a utopian world.

    It sounds lovey and I hope to visit one day.
