And whilst we're hypothesizing about global flashpoints, I wonder whether the UK has an evacuation plan for - wait for it - Spain.
Let's examine the facts: Franco's regime only came to an end 7 years
after the UAE was officially established, so democracy is a relatively new concept over there.
At least 5 times more UK citizens live there than in the UAE. With the Iberians about to go cap in hand to the EU for a massive bailout, the government will be forced to introduce a series of austerity measures and we all saw how well that went down in Greece, for example (cue mucho rioting).
Then there is the ETA problem and those pesky Catalans, and what with Barcelona hammering Real Madrid 5-0 in the last 'El Classico', patience in the capital must be wearing thin.
We also know that Thomas Cook and Easyjet
never depart on time, so cannot be relied upon for a Dunkirkesque withdrawl.
On the plus side, you should be able to pick up a chippy on the Costa del Sol for a song...
P.S. For the easily offended this, like the rest of the thread, is a joke
