What kind of an idiot moves to Qatar, SA or Dubai?
You moved there for money and were ok with all the oppression and slavery, until it affected you. Fuck you dude
He didn’t move there, he went on vacation. However, the rest still applies.
I’m blocked by a paywall, doesn anybody have a summary of the article?
I thought Dubai was trying to create tourist resorts? Can’t think of a worse advert. These people are essentially cave dwelling desert nomads from the bronze age who no one would have heard of if not for our oil addiction. Another failed former colony of the British.
Why would anyone wanna go to these places? I watch wrestling occasionally but I refuse to watch the shows held in stadiums built by slaves so I always ignore their Saudi Arabia shows.
They arrest a Briton every year for some dumb shit to remind everyone else to follow the law. At this point it has become a tradition, it’s like their version of Guy Fawkes night but with a real person.
Usually the story is also a bit more complex than the “detained in Dubai” people tell you, sometime it is actually unfair, sometime they just hide half of the fact it to make it look unfair.
In any case in the UAE, you can go to jail or at least get fined for insult and slander. You can agree or disagree whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing but everyone living there knows it.
You don’t get arrested for bad reviews. People review stuff on gmap and other all the time. I’ve left my fair share of 1 star to crappy places so there must be more than “he was jailed for a bad review”. It’s most likely for insulting someone.
Of course I have no idea what the other side of the story actually is or what the review said.
Why would anybody, ever want to be in a shithole like Dubai?
Post a bad Yelp review, believe it or not, jail.
Post an overly obsequious yelp review? Believe it or not, also jail.
Just because you don’t live in squalor like all the other kind of foreigners doesn’t mean you are not a second class citizen in Dubai. Arabs in Dubai look down on all foreigners including white foreigners. They basically believe in Arab supremacism.
This is the key, you are a slave with extra steps. Reading about the travel ban set by her employer, just because they don’t take your passport away, you can still become trapped. I used to have some respect for the UAE, as compared to the other nearby shitholes, they actually invested the oil money they had, and now live off mostly of tourism and trade. Still, the backwards culture and oppressive regime is all the same.
Sounds like it’s time to review bomb a certain dog groomer company
Yeah can we find what the grooming company’s name is?
