Too right, Tonga!
You need to look no further than how they treat their own people imprisoned in the Andamans to see that these strange, pale folk have no honour.

Barbarians indeed. Seems like we both had a take on Tonga today. :-) I like yours very much!

Thanks. But I gotta say, yours outstrips mine - that was a whole novel in a teacup.

I was appalled by the BBC Radio's take on SIGN - the part of Tonga could have been played by a rabid pit-bull. ("We'll live like maharajahs, Tonga!" "Snarl! Growl! Slaver!")
