Look, If you cannot see the jounalistic integrity of what i write, then on your own head be it. Whilst you are correct to state that i have applied for jobs back in Dubai, it is merely to get back ‘under the skin’ of the Country for an undercover expose of all that is shallow and hateful.
Also, i feel a little undervalued now that Asian men do not ogle my ample frmae on the beach anymore. it made me feel special

Given that the article and Jade are as real as Santa, why do you drag Asian men into this? We are past riding British village bikes.

Derka,
Have you been to Jumeirah beach Park lately?
When i used to frequest there (and as i see on all my former friends and colleagues social media feeds, sub-continental ogling is alive and well on the sandy shores of the land of castles in the sky

You’re a real ‘go-getter’ huh? You’ve stated your opinions numerous times, yet you still feel the need to let people know how much you hate it… And what’s this about an exposé on the hateful and shallow Dubai? As though this hasn’t been attempted before? As a freelance journalist, how do you expect to gain any traction with the story after it has been attempted many times by various international News outlets?
I think you will find all you can say about it and more here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7985361.stm
Also Vice, an independent news source, took an extensive look at the conditions in which the workers lived:

I actually sympathise with you, I agree with your view of Dubai, however nothing is going to change – you can try but it’s not going to work. So there’s really no need to bash Dubai. It’s simply flogging a dead horse at this point.

Jerka (sorry Derka)!Asian men on the beach in their pyjamas ogling the females is true – aint it???? or they just from the local asian ornithology club.

Jerka, so you are over ‘riding british village bikes’. This actually translates as you were one of the oglers on the beach, tried it on with a British lady and got a slap (and possibly a police record) Get real (and stop swimming in your y fronts, swimming shorts are cheap!)

there are few comments more depressing, or ‘bang head on the wall’ inane than those repeatedly telling everyone it is satyrical. We know. Some don’t. That;’s the fun, Falstaff, you great balloon!
you sound angry about it?
those that believe generate fabulous comments!

Bloody hell ! I was born here, Dubai ain’t no hellhole, tho they take shitass amount of money. You need to get over it, lady. I mean, yes, Dubai is more luxury and that people who build them don’t live there. So what? I don’t get why you gotta diss Dubai like that. Don’t have anything to talk about or something? Damn.
