Thread: Dubai debts

  1. #1

    Default Dubai debts

    Well thats two words which don't seem to look right together.

    It seems that the great developers have had a little cash flow problem and would like to delay paying back some of their loans.

    Its tough at the top eh.

    It seems that maybe the palm tree development was maybe a coconut too far.

    I wonder if this will reflect on the magic wages and recruitment policies.

    The place is built with slave labour anyway, bulldoze it into the sea. Certainly wouldn't go there myself.

    Sounds dodgy to me with all the private hospitals about to be repossessed.

    Did a private hospital not go bust and the NHS had to bail them out with taxpayers money or take it over, this was in Glasgow if my memory (which isn't good) serves me right.
