Case against top football official dropped

Lack of corroborated evidence has resulted in prosecutors dropping charges against a top Emirati football official accused of engaging in homosexual activity with a 13-year-old schoolboy


Oh well, not really a story there... until the last paragraph:

A source said the football official reconciled with the schoolboy, who allegedly dropped his complaint after collecting nearly Dh1 million in compensation.

Maybe you should rename the thread "What price is Justice?"

Bet you don't....certainly hope you wouldn't want to inflict that on your own kid.

Or how about this justice...

A 15-year-old on holiday in Dubai has been charged with having an illegal affair after allegedly having sex with two men she met at a five-star hotel.

The South African claimed she was raped by the men - who have also been charged with unlawful sex - but faces trial after a psychological report concluded she had ‘sexual urges’.

You've got to remember (or maybe you're too new?) who made that comment. The ****wit will be banned again shortly. Try to ignore him.

Still got to get my head around the fact that I will be moving to a region where justice is still about 1500 years behind what I perceive to be transparent and fair

Yeah, but don't worry, they've got lots of money. It makes everything alright.

No, I'd not come across this bod before. Ta for the warning.

Is this guy the front man for the Michael Jackson tribute evening?

Fear not Fudd. As the saying goes, when swimming in shit - keep your chin up and your mouth shut. You will be fine.

EDIT> In other news, I'm please to see the Bahrainis have finally nailed down the opposition leaders and given them life imprisonment.

Thanks for the tip Millhouse. I was planning to keep my head down, but using your analogy I will definitely keep it up!
