Fair enough Cape, and thanks for your balanced response
Perhaps it'd be better in future maybe to not rehash tabloid rhetoric, and instead present a balanced argument?
I of course realise that there are certain nationalities/skin colours residing in the UAE who historically haven't received the same lifestyle and benefits that we do (sound familiar?), but to tar an entire country/population with that brush would be unfair and frankly untrue.
As Kumul1 said above, live and let live, keep your head down, outwardly obey the laws and customs of the country in which you live and you will enjoy the place....
Perhaps if the population of the UK had done that, I'd still be there!
