Read or LEAVE

Apologies to the one person who reads my blog - sorry mom.

I have been in Saudi (that bastion of truth and human rights) for the past few weeks - not out of choice - but cos I have been a bad boy and my company has decided to punish me.

I could go on and on about Saudi but whats the point....

Makes Dubai look like a free, fair and just society.


Moving ON:

Mouthpieces:

Read in Emirates Today (Friday 28th edition) that a statement was mad by one of the top officials that UAE cannot be classified as a 3rd world country....

And buried in the article was an interesting quote (which I have paraphrased/summarised/mangled but have kept the meaning intact): "Media and Journalists are the mouthpieces of the nation and as such have a responsibility to communicate the right image of said nation"

How True......

Good to see Emirates Today doing its best to be a good mouthpiece


Work or Leave:

Seven days (Friday 28th). Another official has ordered our lazy labourers to stop protesting/rioting/being rude and either WORK or LEAVE.

The Gauntlet has been thrown...........
