Ummm, last time I was there, racism was rife.. in particular the treatment of service staff (eg waiters, hotels etc)... by their "elite class" eg rich basters
Dubai is the most ethnically diverse place that I've ever lived in. It is a champion of multiculturalism.
So, how does Dubai manage to get it so right whilst the UK and other Western countries get it so wrong?
Firstly, Dubai has fostered a culture where there is a high expectation of good behaviour towards all peoples. Secondly, Dubai celebrates diversity of nationality, religion, and culture. One of the first questions you'll be asked in Dubai is: "Where are you from?" And thirdly, Dubai protects the identity, culture, and economic status of its own citizens. Dubai has opened its arms to foreigners, who now largely outnumber Dubai's own citizens. As a foreigner, you can buy property in Dubai, own a business, get married, have children, and even retire. But none of these things give you an automatic right to citizenship.
Dubai's population is forecast to grow beyond 5 million by 2030, and over 85% will be foreigners. Dubai's economy will continue to grow faster than most Western economies, benefitting its foreign residents as well as its own citizens.
Whilst birds of a feather flock together, Dubai proves that we can all work together successfully when our identity and origin are celebrated rather than denied. Yes, its government puts its own citizens first, but most British people just want their government to put them first, too. After all, isn't that the first responsibility of any government?
🚨#BREAKING: The ICJ has ordered Israel to pay "full reparations", restitution & compensation to all Palestinians for its all "wrongful acts" under the occupation since 1967

Without wanting to get too politically stained, we’re all aware that there are elections coming up - ominously, in the axis of hypocrisy… sorry, democracy: UK, USA, France and Germany. The choices, frankly, are as bad as it gets. But thankfully, through the help of social media many of us have been switched on. I am in favour of a new breed of independent-thinking politicians, which means that the party system would be a thing of the past, I suppose. Anyway, I am celebrating the return to global conscientiousness - and so glad that Assange is free!

He didn’t see the obvious trap coming, walked right into it - and oh dear.
Feigning that he’s been one of the children in this country who really suffered, because he went without Sky TV, is not just a faux pas - it’s offensive.
ReIntroducing National Service is a way of not funding professional soldiers & appealing to the over70s vote & 2 fingers to young voters who are going to vote Labour!
