Do the Sheikh's ethics concern you?

[Red Mist]

For me aslong as he treats our club with respect and keeps it's values then thats all I really care about to be honest. What he does in his own country is his buisness, unless of course he was some mad dictator then I think we would have a problem...

Absolutely. If he does what's in the best interest of our club, our heritige and image (i.e. not transforming us into detestable cunts like Chelsea), what he does in Dubai shouldn't concern us too much. Unless of course he turns into a genocidal maniac and starts wars with his neighbours or something.

 

He's presiding over the greatest success story in recent Arab history, his state is a model for all other Arab nations to aspire to IMO. If his country was so bad and treatment of guest workers so awful, why do hundreds of thousands of foreign workers go their for jobs? Why do countless tourists go there for their holidays? It's thanks to our prospective owner that Dubai is such a progressive place that attracts so many foreign workers, tourists and businesses.

 

I think we'll be in safe hands with these people in charge.

I agree... its amazing how people in the west believe their way of doing things is the Right way to do things simply because its their way...

So you don't agree that the Right Way is to treat people with respect?

 

To (for example) pay them a decent living wage, give them decent living conditions, and allow them to form trades unions?

 

It's not a question of us in the West "believing" we are right - we fucking know we're right. You treat people as you would wish to be treated yourself. Simple and correct.

Doesnt the government over here tax you on the money YOU earned?

 

How much are you going to be paying when you buy your first house? How much is said house actually worth?

 

How many British people were completely against the idea of Britain going to war?

 

Interest?

 

Pensions?

 

tuition fees?

 

NHS?

 

i could go on... but the truth is i wouldnt be able to do my argument justice.

I actually think Bigf00t is the racist here; judging by his views on some of the RF threads and the way he's acted on here.

Yes, we were right to invade a nation for no reason whatsoever, killing 100,000+ civilians, leaving the country in a civil war which is killing dozens of people every day. How wonderful we are compared with those horrible anti-union Arabs.

I can honestly say i have no problem with anybodys race...

 

my problem is normally with someones belief:

eg: people believing theyre superior to others simply because of the colour of their skin or the amount of money they have...

You're saying the British have no right to pass comment on human rights violations in the Middle East because we have high house prices?

 

Just want to be sure, like.

Uh, yeah, they do, that's one of the responsibilities of living in a liberal democracy.

When I bought my first house, it cost £66,000, and it is worth every penny. I have no idea of the relevance of this though!

 

How many British people were completely against the idea of Britain going to war?

Most of them. However, the good thing about us here in Britain is we actually get a say in what our government does, unlike people in the UAE. 80% of people in UAE are migrant workers with no say in anything.

That's not how you're coming across. I have a problem with this investment but it would concern me no matter who invested not because the dude is from Dubai. It wouldn't matter if was Dubai, Darlington or Durban. Chill out, Sasquatch.

No, it's a belief that our values are superior, because we don't (for instance) race children through the desert on pack animals.

No... im saying the amount of tax you pay when you buy/sell a house is a violation of YOUR human rights...

I don't know what our (admittedly misguided) foreign policy has to do with the human rights we bestow on our own citizens, but I'm sure you're going to try and make it relevant. I'm all ears.

[RedKnight]

We should though. Kids with Asbos. It would rule. We could call it the ASBO Classic sponsored by ASDA.

oh yes... the vote...

 

that which keeps the people in control of the govt... good on you lad.

[TonyTNT]

I would say it a brave move by LFC. Like it or not there is a current focus on the Muslim faith in Britain at the moment. This is because of many reasons, the press, recent events, the anti war movement etc etc. It shows a lot of bottle in the fact that they know it could make us an easy target for some bigots,, but they feel they are doing the right thing., because of this I have complete faith they know what they are doing so don‘t feel to discomfort when reading the shit in the papers. Only time will tell.

You're learning fast... would you like us to explain how taxes work now, or is your brain hurting from exposure to too much evil Westernisation already?
