About time they put this message out, even more so now.
They definitely need to put the message out, but it's not only Britons who need to hear it, is it? I'm curious, why do you say "even more so now", SW? Is there anything in particular you're referring to? Should spitting on golf-courses by Americans come into it?
According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) report “British Behaviour Abroad”, Britons are most likely to be arrested firstly in Thailand and secondly in the UAE. The Emirates is also third-highest in terms of drug-related arrests.
“As a British National, you are more likely to be arrested in the UAE – statistically and proportionally – than anywhere else in the world apart from Thailand. And there are reasons for that,” Guy Warrington, British Consul General to the UAE said at an inaugural British Embassy event designed to spread awareness, on Monday.
“It’s not because the British community here is badly behaved, the British community here is very well behaved. But FCO research does show that a majority of arrests overseas are avoidable,” he said.
