I don't wish to sound uncaring, but I am not impressed with the endless complaints of ex-pats in Libya, complaining that the rest of us (through our tax-sustained armed forces and civil service) have not rushed to "save" them.
They knew the sort of unstable country they were going to. Are they not willing to take responsibility for the situation they have got themselves into? Do they intend to pay for the cost of their rescue? (this is a rhetorical question, of course they are not going to pay anything).
These ex-pats are the same people who loudly proclaim when they leave the United Kingdom that the country is "finished" and they would never live here again.
A substantial part of yesterday's Today programme was taken up with a whining Scottish voice complaining that the locals had AK47 rifles and seemed out of control. Did that idiot not realise that the locals always had AK47 rifles and were just waiting for an opportunity to raid and pillage? Or did he think Libya was as safe as Aberdeenshire?
