What, a couple of days later? You must have a low opinion of Russians.

Typical British turn it round to be all about them, just watched the news of people landed in Gatwick only to moan they spent a day extra in Egypt. Never please anyone, wish the reporters would turn round and say 'or you could have been on the flight last Saturday'.

I once over heard, whilst on holiday in Jamaica, an American tourist at the bar kicking off because they didn't have any celery to go with her bloody Mary! Some people are just nuts.

I feel sorry for all of the innocent people in Sharm who are going to have even less now that no one will visit.

Surprised this hasn't bubbled over into Dubai and its neighbours yet.

Not at all, but politics and sentiment thrives on knee-jerk reactions.

It's a poignant and sad point but yes, I do feel for the entrpenures and workers in the tourism trade. Then again why do you think the holidays there are so cheap? Lol!

Anyone who comes to the UK on holiday is clearly an idiot or ill-advised. Damn catholic countries.

What now? lol

Our sand induced beaches need the time out anyway.

Dark-Age Arabized hellhole. Not a penny of your tourism money will reach the real Egyptians. The Arabs invaded and stole the land, monuments and name lawl.

Except it wasn't a knee jerk reaction.

Looks like there's dribs and drabs of information coming from the people doing the investigation, that it probably was a bomb.

BBC saying that the French investigation has concluded nothing was wrong mechanically with the plane and that and explosion was heard

and:

The American network NBC, quoting unnamed US officials, said on Friday that communications had been intercepted between IS officials in Syria and people in Sinai about how the jet had been brought down.

"They were clearly celebrating," NBC quoted the official as saying.

I wonder how the Russians will react when all their people have been evacuated.

Russia will try and invade Syria, the CIA wil secretly supply Isis with weapons, this will go on for severa years.

I would love to see the Pyramids but I also like being alive so i don't plan on going near the part of the world at the moment. I did visit Dubai this year - probably the only Muslim country I would go to for the foreseeable future.

Dubai is probably the last place I would visit if I wanted to be alive.

Felon · 7 Nov 2015 at 09:00

I don't think Russia has the balls tbh, they'll talk all big and tough like they always do, but when it comes down to it - if they perform any serious deployment, they'll just make a big mess and fail, (not that the west has really done much better,)
