There is no one single "one size fits all" solution to the unrest that was experienced in the UK last week - it is an unhealthy cocktail of social, racial, economic dissatifaction - in fairness this has been brewing for quite some time. The Uk has changed out of all recognition. Some of my Qatari senior colleagues in QP harbor happy memories of the UK they knew in the 70/80s when they were there as students - I barely recognise the country that they describe.


Im watching interviews on the tv with hooded, scarfed teenagers who cannot offer a logical explanation for their riotous, looting behavior this week - its like they are wearing some bizarre badge of honour!! - is it the parents, is it the schools, is it the police - I swear, its a deep rooted problem and it hasnt gone away - for the time being, it is merely dormant and it will, without doubt rear its ugly head again in the not to distant future.


I despair for the future of my own kids in the UK - the sooner I can get them out here, the better!!
