Well it has just happened: graphic.com.gh www.yanabi.com It was said on one forum I subscribe to that if Muslims are in prison because of breaking the laws of England then they should be grateful of something/anything to eat :) Edit: or more forcibly in some of the comments from the students on this site: www.thestudentroom.co.uk |
