I agree.

Schools don't close in the tropics such as Singapore where  they use ceiling fans not air conditioners and they have the best results in the world .
One wonders too how trains run in India where it is so hot .

Not sure its a case of us not being resilient, Muddy,  its more a case of us not being a naturally hot country like they are,  so we are not naturally geared up for it.

It's like how would Singapore suddenly cope with heavy snow and thick ice.  They would no doubt struggle,  same as anywhere does with extremes they are not used to.

I don't' think I've even heard of it, Alex.
If it is a lot of violence,  it wouldn't be my sort of thing anyway.   Too much of it nowadays.

If Pakistan refuses to take him back, then visas will no longer be issued for Pakistani citizens....simples

Has anyone seen this film ?  It was on Twitter and Facebook but has been taken down.  Apparently it's now on You Tube, not sure about Prime..  The German-produced action-thriller, directed by Uwe Boll, sees Armie Hammer play a businessman who turns into a vigilante, targeting violent criminals, rapists, and corrupt judges.

Released earlier this month, the film has drawn criticism for its extreme violence and alleged anti-immigration stance. Germany refused to grant it a rating, effectively banning its release within the country.

Why can't he be deported ?

I haven't a clue either.  
I wouldn't know where to begin.

So do I, Alex.    I don't how I'd cope with another bashing like that.
I believe he said starting next Monday again.
