Raspberries 769someone And I fundamentally disgree. While I'm sure the UK government gets lots of interesting compliments from...
Why are you living there?
Is Lockheed a UK Company? Does Lockheed benefit the UK? Does the people's being there benefit the UK in some way. If so, I reckon you can say that they are in (wherever) working for the benefit of UK so we have a responsibility to look after them. If not then why should a UK citizen risk getting his head blown off just because Lockheed staff happen to get a better deal (of whatever sort) by living there?
Remember it's risk to life of my military people that bothers me; cost is a separate issue and the govt pays for so many things that don't seem
If they are going there simply because they like it why should I risk my life to get them out if trouble happens to flair up at the time they happen to be there?
right to get in it - not just those nationals of the boat's country ie nationals of the troubled country have an equal rights to save their lives.
Yes. On a practical basis you are right. The decision would be whether to send the boat at all.
And if they happen to be Lebanese nationals, what then? Don't they also have an equal right to get out of danger?
