Very true Brit, and I must applaud the Brit embassy for their stance.

I remember about 8 years a go a young Scot lad was at a party mouthing off and saying all sorts of nasty and vile things about the locals, to which one local met him in the bathroom and beat him severly.

As I can imagine everyone thinks the local got away with it but he did not. He spent 6 months in jail and was in turn sued by the Scot who got a rather nice settlement out of the whole thing. No embassy intervened nor any human rights agencies. For this, I applaud Qatar. ___________________________________________________
