smiffy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 This is good news for the people of Egypt. Though what will it do to oil prices? As well as US/Israel foreign policy?The Muslim Brotherhood are the same mob as Hamas, what did they do in Palestine, they murdered all the opposition parties. If they get power in Egypt, the people could be worse off than they where under Mubarak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Libya's going at it now. Reports suggest Gaddafi has left the country while other reports say he's employing foreign mercenaries to shoot his own people. It always makes me wonder what would happen here. Hypothetically - what would the government do if there was public disobedience about the privatisation of the NHS. What if people refused to let it happen by demonstrating, occupying government buildings, etc, etc. What if the police could'nt contain it without using arms? Would the Police or even the British Army shoot at British civilians if ordered to do so by the government? Interesting times we live in.......

uttoxram75 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Northern Ireland ? Good point. It was easy to demonise the Irish catholics in the 70's as IRA supporters to justify shooting them. Might not be so easy to justify if its people fighting to keep a hospital open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Got an Egyptian couple down the road, both doctors and lovely people, they've got family in Cairo and are really panicking... Really feel for them but don't know what to say as I don't know what they think about it all. A bit awkward really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
