Moving to Dubai from the UK

Dubaiwali you cant exactly be expected to be objective on this issue if your nick includes the word Dubai!

the plight of immigrants is pretty well documented. i suggest you see the recent tropic of cancer documentary by bbc the person travelled across the middle east stopping off in egypt, saudi, dubai and oman.. the disgust at the subhuman treatment (which you can see in the documentary if you have never occasioned to come across it) is palpable, there is no reason why there would be a conspiracy about it.

the impression this article converys of intellectual vapidity, soaked up in passive soulless consumerist culture is not just confined to George Fulton. it is comfortable and anodyne, so is morphine.

And I say this as someone born in the gulf, and who lived there for 15 years, and retain many happy memories of the place (though oman is much more in touch with its soul than dubai, but Im biased there :))

This.

But that’s just it. Some people are infatuated with the materialism and can’t see beyond it.
