Brit Authorities...

lovinangelsinstead21, My exact sentiments for the stranded Brits as well. The British authorities are a low down shame here, where even the Spaniards there have been evacuated and returned back to their homes already. This article just does not portray the British valor I used to know, believe and work with. I really hope that all will end well without any unnecessary casualties and/or fatalities.

maximax8, I am sorry but I have to disagree with you here. First and foremost, it emerged that other countries including France, Russia and the Netherlands have already evacuated citizens without a hitch. You are an experienced traveler and you would agree with me here that even if the intended plane for the evacuation on the tarmac is having some mechanical breakdown or God knows, a nervous pilot breaking down - simply isn't the only aircraft or crew available. Then, the appalling navy's call that they could not dock because they could not determine how safe the dock is. Look, the country is on the verge of war and like all landing or docking protocols, I am sure there are intelligence being done onshore and in country for the navy or military to depend on. What happened? Where's MI6? The navy's call is the utmost pathetic one, if you can see what I mean where I can side if other countries' evacuation attempts had failed. Whoever is in charge of the emergency evacuation is seriously in a world of trouble and should be sacked here. It is purely the most coward act from a country on their own people. I hope that there will be no further delays or excuses on this episode for I would hate to hear an attack on the Tripoli airport where the majority of Brits are, at this moment.
