Here We Go Again

Thanks Accha , Sweethome , Brit & Humbles ........... for your balanced views ................ joys .................

Oh , so nice to hear all praise for my buddy @ MM. Thanks britexpat for the original text & thanks flor1212 for a valuable tip.

acchabaccha, falsehood can't stand for long, but it gives u good practice opportunity for carrying the truth high.

You still believe in everything you read? Tsk tsk tsk!

From the Guardian UK..

" The Qatari government’s head of communications, Saif al-Thani, said the BBC crew were arrested after departing from an official tour. He said: “We gave the reporters free rein to interview whomever they chose and to roam unaccompanied in the labour villages.

“Perhaps anticipating that the government would not provide this sort of access, the BBC crew decided to do their own site visits and interviews in the days leading up to the planned tour. In doing so, they trespassed on private property, which is against the law in Qatar just as it is in most countries. Security forces were called and the BBC crew was detained.”

He said other media outlets were able to report freely from the same camp the following day."

WT wishing you the best relief. And here you may know it, that's why i like MM bro comments.

Brit: Good One! Yes, he very much is.

acchabaccha: MM is the Florence Nightingale of QL :O)

MM: You last comment was really a good one. However, you have forgotten that QL is also used by a very few to insult others in the worst possible way, overriding all rules and morals and ethics of writing. When this happened to me some days back, as lone warrior I defended my castle well against the barrage from the western guns. Finally, they raised the White Flag and you stepped in to apply ointment to the wounds!

WT ....... My bro ...... QL is our own family communication centre ......... here we don't have hidden agendas ........ we are here to care & share .... not taking anything home while we logout ............. here we spread cheer ....... here we take sorrows from fellow QLers & give them joys .......... here we lighten others burden & give them relief .........

Lol , So the persom who earns 100 times than a construction worker would come to their rescue ........... if only he is free from the politicians , cinema ACTORS , music INDUSTRIALISTS , whisky / cigar makers , sports STARS , .......... ROFL .............. Interestingly media covers wealthy for 364 days & poor for one day in a year ............ Okay let them tell us from whom they earn 99 % of their revenue ? ......... Let the construction worker know these facts to find out who is hand in glove with the riches { politicians & business gangs } ...........

I agree with you, MM. Never ever trust QatarLiving. They are "media", right?

Media & politicians can't be trusted even in the dreams ............... why won't they hesitate to mislead their pet believers ............. ?

So BBC can definitely do something about the low paid labourers in their own town first ........ then support their own cousins in the Gulf as a priority then begin to help construction side ............. they must have a road map to improve the situation ........... let us give them 50 years ............ what's the hurry .......

The BBC discloses salaries of Managers only. They earn 150,000 British Pounds (QR 859,000.42) or more annually. There are no numbers available for reporters.

WT ........ Media reporters operating in gulf come in low or high paid category { in the gulf } ......... any info on it ?

"Qatar is an open country forever, since ever," Abdullah al-Khulaifi said.

I wonder how long the world will believe these lies.

Rizk , Who else is with you ? ...................

WT: How long have you been a BBC reporter ?

Anyway, some valid points. Change is hard to accept, especially the opening up to a neutral media.

The workers' conditions seem to be improving a little however the issue of forced labour and unscrupolous agents needs to be addressed.

Glad you got out safely.

'' ......... while gathering additional material for our report ............'' .. It's called deviatibg from the right path ......... hence the headache ...........

Here we go around the Mulberry bush....:)

Qatar = North Korea?
