    Anyone who genuinely thought that Dubai was a solid long-term investment deserves to lose out. It was always going to collapse, we just didn’t know that action in Iran would be the cause.

      You could not pay me enough to live there.

      Ok actually you could, but it would have to be a fuckton of money in like 6-12 months so that I would be set for life afterwards.

    Good.

    I hope rich people lose all of their wealth and have to live like the people they’re oppressing.

    No schadenfreude is ever worth giving daily mail a click…

    You can’t trust anything they post anyways

      Real estate prices in Dubai have actually dropped 30% as of a couple of days ago, if no other outlet has the story, I guess we’ll have to read it here.
      And I haven’t seen anybody else reporting on it that have been linked here on World News.
      The story is absolutely relevant to what is going on in the middle east right now.

      Link a better story on it if you have one.

      property developers listed on the Dubai Financial Market – has plunged by 30 per per cent

      Perfectly in line with the info I have!

      Excellent article describing a real problem, the source may not be liked, but the story is accurate in its details.

      Edit PS:
      If you can’t point to any inaccuracies, then claiming muaahh Daily mail is baaaddd mua muah.
      It’s fucking tiresome, when people that claim that NEVER show anything regarding the articles that are actually posted.
      Tabloid papers are known to be a mix of stories to sell papers and stories that justify their existence. All papers are like that to some degree. Grow up!!!
      I have clearly stated here that the content is solid, so what is you problem people?

        You are assuming that it’s true. The Daily Mail has no such requirement for its articles

          No I’m not assuming the important things in the article are true, because they are facts. And there is no reason to not believe the rest.
          We also have papers that have a bad reputation, but those same papers still have lots of good articles. I don’t like how everything from certain media is disregarded, simply based on the name of the media, with complete disregard for the content of the article.

          Never never ever have I seen anyone taking the effort to point to actual mistakes in such articles, they are merely knee jerk reactions, and I’m honestly getting tired of it, especially when it’s an issue that is true and significant that we haven’t seen brought up before.

            How do you know they are facts? If the Daily Mail told me it was raining, I would ask two other people or just go look for myself. I do not trust what liars tell me. When other people corroborate the report, then I will trust it.

              Because I’ve seen the key facts corroborated from 2 other sources already before reading this article. From news sources that specialize in the Iran war.

                  Those were not articles, and for that reason can’t be posted here.
                  One source I think was Jake Broe on Youtube a military analyst, and I think the other was an interview with Jiang Xueqin. A professor in game theory, who predicted that Trump would start a war against Iran 2 years ago, and also predicted that USA would lose, which they in many ways are.
                  One thing is that these are not mainstream outlets, and sometimes such details can only be learned, from sources that go in depth with specific issues.
                  The story in daily mail is not so much reporting on the news from Dubai, but more reporting on something that happened to British people living abroad. But the story still has value, despite it’s a different angle.

                  If you make a search for it, you will find hundreds of results on the issue, but it hasn’t reached major outlets yet, maybe because Trump has threatened media with penalties for reporting anything negative from the war, and calls it treason!?! So it is not without risk reporting this by a major channel in USA. Also Ellison an insane Nazi family controls a lot of American media.
