Breaking Media, Politicians & Celebrities Since 1995

if she is flogged the video will be a winner, fat, mature, ugly spanking video’s are a niche market

I nominate both of you to take her place, if she is sentenced. Be interesting to check the state of your senses of humor afterwards.

Gillian Gibbons should get out real quick from Saudi Arabia! Do it anyway she can and now. There are rules in Saudi Arabia that have to observed 100%. Doesn’t matter about anyone else doing whatever. There is one rule for the area and one rule for the Westerners! Watch out!
Where is the British Govt in all this. Shouldn’t they be asking for her return. Poor woman.
.

of course she shouldn’t be flogged-
why would anybody want to work in such a place?
Isn’t it time religion was done away with as bad for the world and civilisation in general?
Good lord, there would be nothing to fight wars about any more. The whole world might become a better place.

7 Murder

Agree with you-why go there in the first place. The are does not deserve anyone to help out in any way. This incident is not the first one of stupidity on behalf of the Saudis. That area fobids alcohol and drugs, but have the worst problem amongst themselves. Let anyone be caught though, and it’s off with their heads.

Maybe good money - no tax - but does that matter!

Isn’t Gillian Gibbons entitled to the same protection afforded to the McCanns by the British Government? No worries then.

Of course this woman shouldn’t be flogged. She isn’t guilty of anything apart from trying to regain her youth going to live in a part of the world which should be reserved for adventurers/pioneers only. It is very barbaric in that region. I’m not saying that 54 is old - of course it’s not. But it really wasn’t fair on her family back home to give them the worry of her being in a disease-ridden forgotten part of the world with religious values which do not fit with the culture she is used to. She bit off more than she can chew and should return to the UK immediately. I bet she’ll say she wants to stay!

Logic… I can’t see her wanting to stay after having had a spell in jail in Mogadishu!

I do appreciate her ‘need’ to do something good but sadly there are many people like her who see the poverty in Africa through the proverbial rose tinted glasses and expect to be welcomed with open arms by adoring locals. Not! Doesn’t work like that any more!

But of course she shouldn’t be flogged and the Foreign Office should be involved to get her out asap. The most she is guilty of is being ‘an innocent abroad’. She was silly but with the best of intentions…. may be a lesson to other middle aged women looking for ’something’.

(as a middle aged woman I can say that!!)

Er… I thought this was a ’satirical’ site. My remarks about Sudan being bad enough, without moving on to Saudi Arabia, were ironic.

How many posters have actually been in Khartoum? I found the people there, northern Arabs and christian Nilotic southerners, very polite, hospitable and friendly to male and female westerners - though obviously there are long-standing political and cultural tensions in yet another botched British colonial legacy.

And May: the British government intervened at the beginning of the affair, which will be quickly resolved.

Murder, yes I’ve been to Khartoum although many years ago I must admit… I love Africa but there are many people who approach it as if the local populace will be thrilled just to have them there. On the whole they’re not.
I lived in Africa for many years and when I went back a while ago it has changed so much.

Oh and Thea, my name’ s NOT Bernadette so do go away!

She works in a private school with the rich kids, so not so concerned about the poor. I imagine that she is quite well paid too so doesn’t need to set up a fund for her legal expenses.

Who named any bear “Teddy” then?

Where did that come from I wonder?

Personally I wouldn’t go anywhere near one of those backward thinking countries for all the money in the world. Islam? You can stick that as well, in fact that goes for all religions who restrict human activities and use it as an excuse for their behavior.

Maybe they need to watch the stoning scene in Life of Brian to show them how stupid they really are. If I was any kind of liberal, free-thinking individual stuck in a country bound by such intolerance and stupidity I’d be on the first plane out of there.

It plays like a Monty Python sketch and qould be funny if not so serious. The sooner religion is abolished the better if this is the outcome… I mean its a NAME ffs 99.9% of these so called “protestors” baying for blood couldn’t give two hoots they just want to see blood and if its a westerner all the better!!

Grow up and get over it springs to mind…

Thats it ive had it wiv muslims, they ask for tolerance of their religion when in our country. So we give them what they want and they spit curry in our faces.
People need to stand up as a whole and let these “your religion means nothing but defy ours and you will be beheaded” extremists get away with calling the shots. I say we demolish these mosques that preach this hate againtst others they call a religion and ban the so called allmighty koran
