The fact that conditions might be worse in other countries does not give others the right to exploit brutally people who come from those countries. What should be happening is that wealthier countries should be attempting to improve conditions in the poorer ones. That too is an endless debate ....... and going there ends up with accusations of 'racism' so I won't!

Yes, you are right, bringbackthe80s there probably always are choices, but they may be unacceptable. This morning I needed some avocados for a dish I planned for lunch. The only ones were Israeli. No choice? Yes, I did without and made something else. A couple of months ago I made a choice not too fly on the cheapest (by far) airline - Emirates - when I went home. That choice cost me £2000.

Coincidentally, I have just seen this is today's Daily Wail ..

Deported from Dubai... for working without the permission of her husband | Mail Online

In Dubai, it is an offence for a married woman to work without her husband’s permission...........

She said: ‘It is a law but it is rarely enforced. I spent £6,000 trying to win the immigration case against me but in October I found out I had lost.

‘I could have tried to appeal but I didn’t have any extra money and I had been advised it wouldn’t have done any good.’
Double standards?
