If you click on the link in the message from Simpleasabc I think you will find what they all mean about the 25th. I dont think you need VPN as I managed to read it without. xx

They're not new. They've been here a while. Anyone remember the labourers out at the camp near Al Muntazah in Jebel Ali protesting about 5 years ago? The police used water cannon to disperse them then. I guess they are on the roads now to remind us all that the police still have them. Yes I remember that - it was awful......

I saw one of these green cannon things being towed by green 4 x 4 police car on the Emirates Rd and few weeks ago and wondered what it could be.

And what's significant about that? Is there supposed to be something organised in the UAE on that date.

We saw some kind of armoured vehicle in RAK yesterday with RAK Police written on it. I decided not to cut it up. Good thinking SD lol but did it look brand new like the Dubai one cos I have never seen anything like it before ? Yes it did. I won't say it was all new and shiny because it wasn't, it was matt black lol, but it did look very clean and scratch free.

Could be the same reason there is a sudden huge increase in police presence around at the moment, I saw at least 5 police cars parked up around the WTC roundabout at lunch time!
