    The British gov make it perfectly clear that they will not get involved in the R.P justice process no matter how screwed up it is or how badly its citizens are treated.

    It's a good lesson learned and something those of us living anywhere abroad have to face. The Brit Embassy is a visa fee collection center. Nothing more. Can't even renew passports there these days.

    Useless twots.

    I,m sure he,ll get help from the expats out here as there are lots in Manila, but the big problem is getting his family out the government will need to step in I think.

    The govt. will do nothing....unless one of the kids gets shot after speaking out against the Taliban, then the whole family are whisked over and settled here. Don't even need to be British for that.

For example, you just have to be accused of a crime to be thrown into the legal system and jailed - only to be found not guilty after having spent many years in jail without any compensation.


    Yep I agree.. These rather silly twots that comment anonymously with no knowledge of just about anything or with any wholesome life experiences except their insular and small boring lives should be pitied and boo`d IMO!!
    The nasty little man that says he is a Brit expat in the R.P is a bloody little liar!!
    Probably never got much further than the Calais beer run and only the once!

    Lol, it,s all about keeping your head below the radar and minding your own business and things will be ok. But if you step on someone,s toes here - being a foreigner - you will suffer big time. If a wife wants you deported, all she has to do is accuse you of something and that,s it! Away you go, and don,t come back. You have very little rights here unless you have unlimited deep pockets.

    Hi, this is Charlene Taylor. On 29 October will be our promulgation and I'm hoping that we will be free soon. Thanks for all your support and help. It's been five years since I last got in touch with you. Kevin and I are happy that there are still people like you guys. Thanks again, and we need your prayers that we will be acquitted on Wednesday.

    Hey Charlene!
    Its a shame that you couldn't post on your old name (British detained) so that we could verify your new member name as genuine..
    Anyway.. Rest assured that there are a lot of people thinking about you and Kevin and your pending release..
    Fingers crossed.. Not long now!

    Keith.. Is it possible to override the newbies PM rights so that I can talk with her Privately?

    I'm trying to work out ways to help them if I possibly can.

    Charlene..
    Check the Yahoo group... A member there has offered you accommodation.
    Let me know if it falls through for any reason..
    One way or another we will get it sorted.
    The worst is hopefully over.. Good luck tomorrow!!
