First off... moonbeam, how does my second sentence show im not from the UK? im intrigued. It really doesnt matter where im from, makes no difference to the validity of what i say anyway.
its nice to think that every expat here is earning X times the salary that they would be earning at home, however, this does not mean anything when the cost of living here is X times more than your home country.
I agree that market forces will be the decisive factor and that some differences will be there depending on home country salaries, but i still believe that the gaps that exist are disproportionate.
Noone should be forced to repatriate their families because they can no longer afford to support them here whilst some counterparts have disposable income to live affluently.
noone can deny that injustice occurs here. you would have to be blind not to see it. injustice based on ethnicity is rife and has much deeper roots than we realise.
the gulf is a very racist society (much more than the UK for example). The fact that it doesnt manifest itself in abuse and violence doesnt mean it doesnt exist. It can be seen in government departments, supermarkets, on the road etc etc. Dont you think that this also has an effect in the workplace? how people are treated when it comes to salaries, promotions etc.
