    To ferminate is when someone/something has not showered/cleaned themselves in too long. Resulting in a very strong aroma of their own or your own smell.
    Hence my mention of the great unwashed...

    Sounds like perfect preparation before going for a Hot Lunch.

    With regards to not being surprised if the Saudi's "did it", it doesn't matter if they "did it" or not, someone is throwing mud and some of it has stuck. In the absence of evidence I'll sit on the fence and let things ferminate.
    YMMV
    People protesting in the street may raise the issue's profile.

    Applying pressure to visiting dignitaries is ok for Trump but not for people we sell piles of weapons to?

    Having listened to the accusations by the rather pleasant looking and sounding Nadia Hardman(who I wouldn't trust with my rabbit - if I had one) I believe that every country has the right to defend its borders from invasion. If there is documented evidence of rape/torture/murder then it needs to be taken to the UN - causing havoc in the UK during a state visit isn't going to help anyone.

    Just my opinion.

    though this is worse than even I expected. They are just opening fire on Asylum seekers direct from Ethiopia.

    This reminds of the a game i used to play on the Spectrum 40 years ago.

    ZZOOM by Imagine Software.

    You were tasked with saving the refugees from the bombers but it was also fun to shoot them to pieces

    Guess regardless of how nasty the British Government is, there are other governments who are even worse.

    started a topic Seems the Saudi's are behaving as badly as always!

    Seems the Saudi's are behaving as badly as always!

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rt-claims.html

    'Thousands' of migrants have been 'shot to pieces' and killed by Saudi border guards this year as they tried to enter the kingdom, report claims
    • Many of the migrants reportedly had their legs severed and their fingers shot off
    • Migrants, many of them travelling from Ethiopia, were attacked at close range
