Dear George You wrote: >My bias in FAVOR of law and order is showing. Guilty as charged.
** I was expecting that response. So do you favour the punishment of the victims and that the perpetrators get away scot free? Do you favour the retrospective application of legislation that was in any case denied Presidential assent? Do you favour the two years of harassment that 480 or so foreign nationals have faced? You wrote: >See article below from today's NAVHIND TIMES about ILLEGAL land purchases by foreign nationals, including BRITISH nationals. ** I not only saw it but read it and put in on Goan Voice some 9 hours before receiving your post. I also quoted several extracts from it. You posted the whole article on this forum in a feeble attempt to avoid answering my questions. If you are not to lose all credibility in our eyes please answer the following: 1. You wrote that "in many cases some builders refuse to sell to Goans" I asked you how many is some? Can you name and shame many? Or some? Or many of some? 2. You wrote "IF a legal transaction occurred . I would be outraged" You then state "it is difficult for me to believe than more than a handful were legal" Surely a handful must be more than one so can we see your display of outrage, please? 3. How many of these builders/sellers/agents come to London at the Tourism mart, comply with the law? I claimed 100%. What is your figure, since you asked? 4. Previously you wrote: "I fail to see why you are blanket defending these transactions" My question was, When did I blanket defend the transactions? Please supply chapter and verse. 5. You wrote: "In fact some of them sell ONLY to British nationals." My question was "Is that a criminal act by British nationals?" 6. You wrote "So how many of these supposedly "legal" transactions were LEGAL?" I responded, "100 per cent till any of them are proved illegal." Now, sir, since you have such a strong self-proclaimed bias towards law and order, What is your figure? Thank you! Eddie Fernandes
