I am in complete agreement with everything that you have said, Jonathan, especially with regard to the British government.
There are times when I feel ashamed to be British.
I have heard from a resident on another site that it is ok for people to visit Aden as long as they know someone. Dont understand that. And that there is no Cholera.

The internet offers multiple sources of information regarding the present epidemic of Cholera in Yemen, so I'm more than a little perplexed by your source of information.
*** My original attempt at pasting a link didn't work, but the above is just one of many sources.
Many thanks for the info. My friends in Aden no longer contact me. I know a couple had war losses but nothing else. Had "friend" requests from a couple of sources there but have had so man SPAM requests on facebook that I am reluctant to accept. Don

I wrote to the MP representing the Isle of Wight ( my former residence in the UK) asking for his opinion on the situation in Yemen and does he support the supply of arms to the Saudi government which have been used to murder innocent civilians and decimate the country's infrastructure. And is he in agreement with the Saudi's blockading supplies coming into the country. Strangely I have never received a reply. Probably because the fellow is a new MP and is trying to do everything he can to fit in with his party's (Conservative) policies. I have just sent him another email demanding his reply and reminding him he was voted in to serve the people and not his own causes. The local Conservative association replaced one condescending w a n k e r with another!
What a loathsome career politics is!

Sometimes there is only one word or phrase that can describe a person or a situation.
In the instance that you have outlined, the word you used appears to be totally appropriate.
I experienced a similar censorship issue when I innocently used the name of the small fishing village that lies just north of Bureika in a post on this site.
With regards to politicians, head and brick wall come to mind.
