resent that many brits have towards what they see as the conspicuous consumption of the Khaleejis that summer in the UK. Yes, their money is welcomed in these hard times, but trust me that this is not a positive article at all. The average brit will read it and turn up their nose at gulf arabs if this is their only real knowledge of them. Note the descriptions of the way khaleejis dress and the attention to their cars (and planes). I think the article is not flattering at all, but certainly understand it being interesting to qataris (or those of us who live in qatar). London has been so welcoming because it is multicultural and going through very hard times economically. Can't say anyone really likes their nose rubbed in others excessive wealth.

On the other hand, the one thing I do agree with scotia about is that they have every right to enjoy their wealth as they choose.

Thanks for posting this, mate, and enjoy your holiday.
