    Good idea, send out the women and children while the men running your “freedom fighting” continue to take what they want from a country that no longer has the patience to put up with your bulls**t anymore. Go ruin Syria or Iran if you want to stay in the dark ages, but the true Lebanese want to move past anything to do with Hezbollah.

    You cannot go around breaking rules because you feel like it, and you cannot go around taking and taking from a country without ever giving back. What was once the Paris of the Middle East will become an eyesore in a few short years if we do not take a stand to hold the country that belongs to us.

    God bless the true Lebanese trying to end a war we have never been a part of and Hezbollah for digging there own grave.

    berri should be the last person to talk about what’s legal and what’s illegal.

    if we are to stop everything illegal in lebanon [and so we should], we should first start with the arma/drugs/”halal money” that’s coming from iran by syria.

    pple are seeing through this idiot of a politician…together with hizbollah, they have tainted the reputation of true shia lebanese.

    shame on you, berri deserves to be hanged for his breaches, lies and double standards…and anyone like him too.

    Hariri buit a different airport runaway as International Carrier threatened to stop the flight to Beirut because of the Shiite slum invasion to the old runaway and like idiots they were building three stories buildings> If any one flew to Beirut prior to the new Beirut can remember well if you are sitting on the window , it felt you are going to hit the slums.
    I dont know what it is it with this bringing kids to this world when you can’t even feed yourself, is it the preaching of the Mullah to conquer the country. Unless we finish with Hezbollah and kick anyone who sit on property that not his ,this country will not be a country, As it is now Nasrallah and the Shiite are making joke of the law and the country since the 60, they have their houses in the south now , just leave the property that does not belong to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. The UK market is very slow and UK buyers are thin on the ground, but as these represent only 5% of the actual market it shouldn’t affect the market too much. Those that are looking are bargain hunting. They are looking for something generally below 150,000. Why this figure -I can only assume but I believe that many of the buyers from the UK are people who made their mind up to move to Spain a while ago.
