Ever needed an excuse to egg a house?

Suggesting egging a house puts you in the same league as the slave owner. It would be better to put your energies to something more worthwhile.

Maybe you’d prefer we all ride past on our bicycles and ring our (compulsory and mandatory) bells furiously?

Om(elette)ocide is pretty bad too.

What a remarkable comment.

Was he somewhat scrambled at the time and merely yolking?

When they were building the Saudi ambassador’s home at the top of Brereton St in Garran, they excavated little concrete rooms very deep in the rock under the house.

I was told they were secure comms rooms, but they looked more like dungeons to me. Very suss…

So you don’t think this was the work of Buddhists?

A similar event was reported years ago (in fact, everyone who works in and Embassy/High Commission knows this is common practice) but in this case the exploited worker sought revenge by setting fire to the diplomats house.

I’ve been made aware of a similar situation myself – our Dept. of Immigration doesn’t help things much, as they unimaginatively quickly deport any similar complainant at the behest of her ex-employer, thus discouraging complaint.

The embassy involved should be shut down. We need no truck with savages.

more an anachronism than a nonsense.

the trouble is there are parts of the world where our own diplomats still need it.

Bring them home.

If they need it, we don’t need to be there.

Diplomatic immunity isn’t absolute but there is always the option to kick them all out and ask their government to send someone else. Assuming of course that the replacement wouldn’t do the same thing in which case they need to be carefully watched before being allowed back.

no excuse required

Another excellent argument for ending the nonsense of diplomatic immunity.

I didnt know there was an argument for it… ? Since when?
