I had replied to Miguel, post rejected and asked to change the subject line. So if it does not suit, please change the subject line - do not keep to the proscribed rule, after all rules are there to be broken.
Miguel, your prose and poetry is wasted on me, I am in essence a ''where's the beef' person. What you have stated does not make sense, at least where normal minded people are concerned. Your post implied, forget about looking for justice - move on! Justice is a preventative issue, not an after the effect point. The mind boggles, that you could arrive at such a conclusion and furthermore, go into a rigmarole, which left me bewildered and scratching my head. Let sleeping dogs lies and I shall....amen. A clever dick stated that..Goa bashers should take note on the stats that he provided ! First and foremost those of us on this forum are pro Goa not Goa bashers. The number of Brits visiting Goa is estimated at 200,000 those who visit Spain is estimated at 14,000,000. So it would be safe to say that, it would be understandable that there would be more rape and murders of Brits in Spain. Now on the Scarlett case. Most if not all are agreed that the Mother should bear a great burden of what happened. That the mother had no control over her daughter is evident, this should come as no surprise; there are many Goan parents here in the U.K. who have no control over their children. Believe me you, there are families who are deemed to have brought up their children well and they are crying now. They are asking themselves, where did they go wrong...they have produced loose daughters, sons who are wife beaters and fornicators...get the drift ? One can try one's best but there are no guarantees. We also have here in London divorced persons who are Eucharistic Ministers, the Pillar fathers in London are well aware on this and turn a blind eye. In our Church in Navelim they show the door to such persons. In essence, It is easy to castigate the tattooed, trailer park inhabitant mother, who erred and she did it big time. Unfortunately she is a victim of her own laissez–faire attitude. She admitted it candidly. Her confidence/comfort in leaving her daughter with Catholics, so she felt safe, was totally misplaced. Whatever did make her think that Catholic Goans were the salt of the Earth types ? Lessons have been learnt but at a very huge expense. Hopefully good will have come out of it, like a more transparent Police Force. Please don't bet your house on it! -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes. London, England
