Do you support such policies ? Like it or not those countries are not democratic, do not recognise human rights as they should given the major religion in those areas and pay lip service to the west but should you dare to upset them act like spoiled children. The hypocrisy of their citizens (well at least those in power) seems to be ignored by you. Brits are proportionately more likely to be arrested in the United Arab Emirates than in any other country, the Foreign Office claims. still it's okay to be arrested for kissing in public, it's okay to be arrested for trumped up events, it's okay to be arrested for sharing a facebook charity request for refugees...well at least you think it is but not me So you've never been then.

You might think she could have done something intelligent like... Getting a proper visa. Not giving it the big 'I want to speak to the manager' after she discovered she did not have a visa. Not whipping out the camera phone like a ****ing idiot. Edited August 10, 2018 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
