Why the hell am I blogging? I clearly should be writing for the Times - they don't seem to fussy about who they hire !
My LOL moments from this article are numerous !
This is Mr. Liddle's take on an , until recently , unspoken quid pro quo :
" ....You can swan around in your flash cars and hang out at the malls, just as if you were in Maidstone or Cottbus or Pretoria. You can dress like you were at a stag-party pub crawl in Prague, or like an infidel whore on the make , and we'll grit out teeth and smoke our hubba-bubba pipes and look the other way .You can even have that other stuff you seem to like so much, the relentless, enervating fornicating, the stuff Allah really dislikes; we will turn a blind eye to the legion upon legion of addled post-Soviet whores in your horrible Brit-style pubs, nightclubs and wine bars, the cheap babes from the ’stans. Just keep the money pouring in, please: keep building those gargantuan hotels and facilitating those loans for us."
Any relevant point he may have had has been sliced up by his snarky syle . I think I may return to this article at a later date to disect it a little . But for now , fellow Dubai resisdents - do enjoy !!

Agree with your comments on the article but cant help thinking that your quibble is with balance rather than accuracy.
On the other hand you are geographically better positioned to comment than me, so please continue.
You're right - it IS more about balance than accuracy . That and the fact that these articles seem to be ten a penny at the moment ! Anyway , I tried to elaborate a little in a new post ! :)
