As the Middle East is drawn into war, expats and influencers are under pressure to only share the positive side of the UAE. In reality many are at risk of being put behind bars, and often find the UK government has little interest in helping them get out



Exactly. Its baffling that they are baffled that the UK government didn’t have any interest in helping them out. I bet they didn’t pay any tax to the UK from that fortune they made but still expect to be bailed out of troubles.
I didn’t have any sympathy for even the tourists visiting those places, when the war started. There was a bunch of Finnish tourists complaining how much the evacuation flights cost. I would like to tell them to go ski into a swamp. If you are stupid enough to go to a volatile region with human rights abuses, you should be paying a price. Too long have people gotten away with that. I enjoy all the consequences that are coming to them. Fuck all of them.
