Careful what you say, douglas ... I have deduced from the posts on this thread that minty is as bad as the terrorists she detests ... you could be in some serious danger old chap.

// Why would they do that? // (study in Khartoum)[ unless they were radicalised ]

it is cheap
they could get in
no where else would take them
they have parents who were sudanese ?

doing medicine in Khartoum isnt an obvious path to terrorism ....

[Baldric]

Minty, your Suite awaits, was pale green you wanted wasn't it?

[Sqad]

P.P

All good points, but clearly things have changed.......if one couldn't get into a British University to study medicine in my day and subsequent decades, then one didn't do medicine.
One would never think of going to Khartoum.
Difficult for me not to think that they were radicalised in the UK to urge them to seek admission to an Arabic medical school.
Difficult for me to believe that radicalisation in the UK is a bigger problem than we imagine.

// it is a life, rather than a lifestyle choice, and for the soldiers it is a career choice. // [ that would be dying by the way]

Oh god what is this ? At the last stand on the Escaut ( Scheldt) Gort ordered the punters to resist to the last man and the last bullet - and the Tommies ran away ! ( to Dunkirk by the way - it was 1940 )
xc suckers like my father ( 5 y in the camps)

PeterPedant, if mine is to be the last word - and I don't know why it should be - then I'll just say that //It should be considered that those that rejoice in the death of these terrorist are just as bad as the terrorists they detest!// from Islay is probably among the most irrational and most unjustifiable statements I've ever seen on the AnswerBank.

[murraymints]
