I brought up the subject of this article at the pool today (toff toff) and apparently, Panorama covered it last week at home.
My mate worked in Saudi for years at the same time that I was in Abu Dhabi, and his point was that the West would not tolerate this treatment of fellow human beings..but the oil makes all the difference.

It's disgusting.. but we really do support it by being here. But what difference would it make? Intgrity over sense and the opportunity to secure a decent future for our kids..
