Dwindling tourists from the UK - not likely...

2. The UK gets annoyed when Russian tourists to Salisbury are accused of crimes are they not ?. Yet the UK whingers want UK citizens to poke around other countries without consequence.

3. Jeremy Hunt moans because the UAE government didnt tell its courts what the outcome should be. Try asking Hunt to tell the Uk courts what to do and he will tell you they are independent yet he expects other countries to run their courts the way he would refuse to. He's a d*ck.

4. Whether he was a spy or not is largely irrelevant, as he was poking his nose into a country's security without approval and in almost any country, you'd be in big trouble.

5. The guy is a clearly an idiot, as he went to a politically sensitive region and started poking around and thought that because he would claim he was doing a PhD that would be alright. Try going to Cheltenham as a Brit and poking around the area of GCHQ and you'll be in big trouble as well.

No sympathy I'm afraid - he'll do a year and be thrown out.

Well stated...

It has not been a good few weeks for the UAE in the UK press. They have moved on from Matthew Hedges and onto a documentary that was aired a couple of days ago.
