Priti 4 Witham

Word of Gordon’s accession as Prime Minister has not been warmly received by everyone in the Gulf. I refer to a letter in today’s ‘Gulf News’ from one ex-pat who comes from Gordon’s homeland of Scotland.

  ‘Gordon Brown will do what all Labour governments have always done; increase tax for those that work and hard it over en masse to those that keep them in government. Such as Labour voters who enjoy living of the state because they are too idle to work. This is exactly why people like me have spent so much time working in countries like the UAE – here the money you earn belongs to you!’

  Well someone had to say it………!
