#3  'We can't wait for this to be over, to tell you the truth,'

No sympathy from me. They'd never get past the door at my house. Free rent Robinson and her uppity others will be gone in a week or so. We've got another three bloody fok'n years of their indolent kak.

Arabia
United Arab Emirates refuses to let British nuclear submarine dock
Why did United Arab Emirates refuse to let British nuclear submarine dock (to fury of crew's families who had to go to India to see them)?

HMS Tireless spent a week in international waters while it sought permission to dock Ministry of Defence officials have not revealed the reason for the snub Diversion meant heartbreak for families who had travelled to the Arabian Gulf hoping to see crew members for the first time in months.

One of the Royal Navy's nuclear submarines was forced into a 2,000-mile detour when it was mysteriously refused entry into the United Arab Emirates. HMS Tireless spent a week in international waters while it sought permission to dock before deciding to divert to Goa in India.

#1  Maybe the UAE does not want tired nuclear iron on its docks.

#2  Threat of a nuke sub fire and fear of the plume?
Posted by: Skidmark || 03/21/2014 7:56 Comments || Top||

#3  Nah, me thinks UAE fears "The Putin Effect" vis-ŕ-vis, former colony, former colonial power.

Hey, could be contagious.

#4  If the sub was made with the same English engineering that brought you the Triumph sportscar (remember "Lucas, Lord of Darkness), I wouldn't want it at my dock either.

Kansas, Arizona prevail in voter citizenship suit
[KANSAS] A judge in Wichita has ordered a federal commission to enforce Kansas and Arizona laws requiring documents such as a birth certificate proving citizenship for new voters.

U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren ordered the Election Assistance Commission to immediately add Kansas- and Arizona-specific instructions to the federal voter registration form.

Those instructions will say that new registrants will have to provide documents proving citizenship before they are allowed to vote, as required by state law.

For most people, that means either a birth certificate or passport. Other forms of proof are accepted in special cases, including for veterans, naturalized citizens, Americans born overseas and members of federally recognized tribes.

The requirement is separate from the companion provision of state law that requires voters to show their driver's license or other state-issued photo ID when they vote at the polls.

About 15,000 Kansas registrants have their voting privileges suspended because of failure to provide proof of their citizenship.

The court decision is a significant victory for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who shepherded the state's proof-of-citizenship law through the Legislature and was tapped by Attorney General Derek Schmidt to defend the law in court. Arizona became a co-plaintiff in the Wichita case after a Supreme Court ruling went against its proof-of-citizenship law last year.

#4  Now all we need to check is their tax returns to see if they paid or if they get free stuff from the people who pay.
