There's been a few cases which are documented, where British citizens have been approached in the street to hand over their phones.
People who have taken a photo of anything related to bombing have been arrested - even if they have not shared that image.
People who have been critical of the government on social media have been arrested too.
At this point, the British Embassy gets involved. Just because you have not been in this situation, doesn't mean you might not need the British Embassy at some point.
Tbh your wisdom on this particular issue is something I would question by the very existence of this thread. Even though you are sticking to the line. You just don't know if you have got the tone /content exactly right. You don't know whether it still leaves you open to problems and yes actual arrest. Unless of course you are actively being employed by UAE to keep up appearances.
At this point I would be extremely mindful about what happens if the war with Iran escalated. The Emir of Qatar stating that war is coming and you should be ready for anything should be ringing in your ears. He didn't say it to scaremonger. The PM of Egypt saying there are massive problems ahead with security, food and political instability echoing the Emir should be taken seriously. The notifications put out by the US, UK and multiple Western countries should be in your mind. The issue of food self sufficiency and power should be in your head looking at Russia and Ukraine. There are fears that Iran will look to invade it's neighbours as a line of last resort should the shit start to hit the fan. That includes UAE. UAE is particularly exposed to food and water shortages btw.
You may suddenly find yourself feeling the need to ask the UK government at some point in the not too distant future. The reality may be, you will probably be on your own. The lifestyle you have now might be great. I'm not arguing with that. Is the lifestyle really worth the risk level at this point?
The lack of awareness of just how fragile and on a knife edge that is, despite all the evidence out there and what you will be aware of on the ground with warnings on mobile but don't talk about here (and should not do for your own safety given my first point) is just ostriching. That's fine. That's your decision. But if it happens there will be plenty who have gone on about the lifestyle being so great, who gets the most awful of reality checks that defensive security is something that has value too. I don't think there will be too many sympathetic voices in the UK and there will be a lack of public support for an active understanding fire rescue mission.
There will be no getting out. I hope your assertion about 'why would I need the British government' is honest in that respect. Remember as a guest, you won't be the priority. You don't control access to resources. In an emergency the foreigner premium will be valueless at ground level.
The airports are the first target. Water, internet, energy and logistics will be high on the target list. I hope you are well prepared. And I hope none of this ever happens.
I personally wouldn't want to lying in bed at night, hearing the alerts on my phone and ignoring it yet again and have that moment of self doubt kick in and realise I'm stuck and it's too late to get out.
This thread almost feels like it's you trying to convince yourself it's so amazing, worth it and to ultimately prove it to the world in order to crush those creeping moments of self doubt at 4am. I'm not buying it tbh.
Hey, yep we will ask you anything on MN. We also will offer counter considerations whilst you try to Sell The Dream.
