    Not really. Whatever happens he still is living in a country with no long term water supply, mass poverty and illiteracy and about to go to war with it's neighbours.

      Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

                  Isn't that being just a little bit provocative. You know that this will wind the English up. Let's face it, that's trolling.

                          IMHO, Even when Indians did not need this aid, it was accepted to placate some political class in England. And England assumed that, this aid would help in future trade talks like this one. But the ultimate losers were the Tax payers from England.

                            In the same way that posting such a thread about Indians (or insert nationality of choice) would be as well. You deliberately set out to provoke a nationalistic reaction - and that's trolling.

                                But I assumed that it was only forbidden when "Indian" was used to provoke. I assummed that Its Ok to provoke Aussies, English and to some extend Irish because thay have better sense of humour. If thats is not the case, I am guilty as charged. I will be waiting for the judgement sentence.

                                    Errm, the aid was from the UK, not England. You'll aggravate Scotland, NI and Wales by assuming that only England contributed. This is why it's a good idea to stay away from politics in the lounge. Take this whole thread to the soapbox and it will be properly debated there.

                                      But I assumed that it was only forbidden when "Indian" was used to provoke.
                                      I assummed that Its Ok to provoke Aussies, English and to some extend Irish because thay have better sense of humour.

                                      Now that's just racism.

                                        Note my smiley! I am aware fully, it is all the political BS that really annoys me. Actually Britain sells £Billions of goods/services a year to India, why would we want to spoil that?

                                          Errm, the aid was from the UK, not England. You'll aggravate Scotland, NI and Wales by assuming that only England contributed. This is why it's a good idea to stay away from politics in the lounge. Take this whole thread to the soapbox and it will be properly debated there.

                                          Scots now need a reason to be "aggravated"? Did I miss a thread or something? :)
