It's grim.
I've been out to Libya a couple of times for work and it's such a beautiful country with an amazing history but with a bizarre way of life - police escorts, conversations with probable spies, vast oil fields in the desert, murals everywhere, the supposed remains of IRA training camps. Actually, lots in common with Norn Iron. Except the oil fields.

It's just horrendous to see such ruthless fucking barbarism.

My mother went there on her own.
