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.

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.

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?

Its is called reverse racisim. It was never allowed to joke/banter Indians. As soon as that happened, it was shouted as rascisim. But at the same time, it was not frowned upon to riducule Germans, yankees or even English by "Underdogs"

Scots don't need a reason to be aggravated. Only an opportunity.

It's still racist, and such behaviour has NO place in the lounge.

Unfortunately, I dont have power to move the thread. Can you please do the honour?
cheers, Super ------------------------------------------ Too much of good is bad,mix some evil in it
I'd love to, but sadly I don't have that power either. Guess we have to wait for someone like Nish to wander by.

Do Dave's comments about the French fall under trolling as well?

It's a shame that (as I understand it) unless you are selling to a company which is a net exporter, India imposes high import taxes, which makes it hard to sell into them.
