Migrant problems
Well, this could be the answer we have been looking for, our very kind Australian friends, could be of assistance, and make a few bob out of it. We could fill this place up in a matter of days, and then give us the bill, lol

Re: Migrant problems
They may prefer Rwanda to Nauru. Loaded Phosphates there once , what a tish hole it was then. An island built on bird tish.
I suppose the boat people could now claim that France is not a safe country given what has been going on this past few days.
My lad says parts of Bordeaux are completely wrecked.
Why did that cop shot that lad, no tasers available?

We'll probably never know the real reason.
Why did the cops stop them in the first place, must have been a reason. Maybe the boy said one word too much, maybe the cop got out the wrong side of bed.
What ever the outcome, the lad will turn out to have been some kind of angel, same as Keith Floyd, or another 21 year old in London, who apparently according to his mother just liked carrying guns and was kind to everyone even those he held up at gunpoint

Re: Migrant problems
Yes Ivan no doubt he did get lippy. No doubt he was pulled over for some reason or other. But to shoot the lad at point blank range and then lie about what actually happened. There is always someone will catch you on camera. The riots later on well that was just a bunch of assholes and had nothing really to do with the shooting It became a free for all.

Re: Migrant problems
We have a few over here who 'borrow' a car.
Most end up at the wrong end of a severe crash, seriously injured and then get the wet lettuce treatment in court.
That is for the ones that come out alive.
One last night caught doing 120 in a 40 zone, told the cop he was just testing the 'borrowed car for a friend.
Happy daze John in Oz.
