I can see next weekends tabloids being full with this, his story will be about all the sex he has had since because of the notoriety.
Hers will be a big sob story and a condemnation of Dubai.

Just been announced on BBC R4 too.
How long until they get deported? Will Vince be celebrating (again) in Longs Bar tonight?
I hear that Michelle has retained Max Clifford.

Re: Beach couple's sentenced reduced
A typical example of the Dubai authorities looking after their own financial interests. UK tourism has already fallen enough for Emirates Air to cancel some January flights. This decision might possibly encourage potential holidaymakers to change their minds and come here after all...but I doubt it.

"Where shall we go on holiday this year, darling?"
"Well obviously it has to be somewhere where they don't mind you having sex on the beach. What about Dubai?"
"No - a couple got arrested for doing it there, and were sentenced to go to jail."
"Yes - but haven't you heard? They had their punishment reduced to a suspended sentence."
"Really?? Brilliant - let's go there then.........."

I agree with you LH, it would have looked bad to the rest of the world if they went to jail, and I didn't think they deserved a jail sentence anyway.

They didn't deserve jail for sex on the beach. They deserve a bullet in the head for gross stupidity....
