I've enjoyed Liew's work lately. I find his apathetic viewpoints refreshing.

Disgusting that the media should be tainted by oil money.

Bad enough that City have AD and Chinese owners but no self respecting newspaper would accept such investors. Surely there is some sort of cartel or or unwritten rule that excludes such an obvious dilution of historically independant newspapers.

I live in The UAE,where there are over 220 registered nationalities in residence & its peace on Earth cos they've established laws for the modern era & sanctions for law breakers fit the crime.

Yeah that’s not true is it.

15 years jail for showing sympathy with Qatar on social media?

The lifestyle is good in the GCC but let’s not pretend all the laws are correct.
