And then in a television report a BBC journalist even manages to say this silly thing - 'a way was worked out so that no one lost face.'
Fully-fledged Australian, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is not a guy who does stupid things... Ever. |
Hehe. Wha-?
Lost face? Jesus Christ, the UK Intelligence mob have lost their mind. And god have they been up to some pretty turgid and 'ambitious' forms of mischief in recent years.
Ah well, back to the races now anyway.
...But seriously I'd hate to think the idiots in Whitehall haven't learned the lesson yet and don't actually pull their heads in.
Just a little background on the place - the UAE has seven rulers each with their own 'kingdom' and there is one senior 'President' - Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan - of the combined seven, and it is this one who formally gave the immediate pardon to Matthew Hedges, the MI6 spy.
MI6 has been up to some seriously bad stuff in recent decades, well outside of anything the voting public would ever let them do if they knew what they were doing - but naturally, MI6 people are only acting in personal self-interest and they are criminals and they are thieves. And they are stupid people, albeit they have access to massive funding and technical resources.
They are actually, stupid people. Very very stupid people. And they are dangerous people.
And when did we cover our friend here in the pic above last - why, it was just last month, when he won the Caulfield Cup in Melbourne, Australia. And I think there was a follow-up article in which I 'threatened' to publish a list of places not to go to! On the top would have been London. Even though if you went by everything you saw in the media, you would have thought Dubai.
Dubai is a great place - it's one of a few really great places in the Gulf Region.
