Irish Air Hostess Allegedly Domestically Abused In Dubai

Race baiting is standard.

I replied to this though:

It literally says social media.

Simon Harris has announced that the travel ban has been lifted and the Irish embassy will be looking after the woman in question and getting her home when she’s ready to do so.

Per a tweet from gavan Reilly.

Her travel ban is lifted and she'll hopefully be home soon -

Or Aer Lingus?

Fair play to the Government though as they seem to have acted fast.

The world is full of hypocrites and some can't even hide it. They'll call out stuff that is happening somewhere and not even see similar things that are happening in front of their eyes.

Hopefully a good end to the story, but this should be a clear warning to everyone thinking about working in that sh!thole of a country. Yes, you'll make your money, but you're funding this carry on. I don't care if they change in the future, fact is right now this caveman level of control that religion has in that country should immediately put anyone off going day, especially women and non-straight people. But it won't. The lure of the fake glam and "easy" money will continue to draw in people who only care about themselves. So I expect to see more stories like this in the future.

While I feel sorry for her situation, I can't say I feel sorry for her overall, for the above reasons. Plenty of similar examples of this happening for years, but she still decided to go there. Call it victim blaming if you will, but a decision was made that this country was worth living in at some point. I was tempted by Emirates a few times myself over the years, but the fact they're UAE based was enough to stop me from every applying. Some people take the risk regardless. So I don't have sympathy in that regard. I see where Jequ0n is coming from, as one would say "well if it isn't the consequences of your actions", those actions being having a lifestyle in a backwards country, marrying someone from a third country quickly and quietly… seems like a series of bad decisions led to the current situation, and one which without the flapping from MaryLou she'd probably be locked up over there by now. So yeah, feel sorry she got bet up and everything else, but that crap happens in the UAE…

But it's ok, looks like there's enough people on here to feel sorry for her so mine isn't needed. I'm sure all the empathetic people on here know exactly what it's like to marry a south african in UAE and get beat up, assaulted, try to take your own life and subsequently get arrested for it. Yup, so many people have gone through the exact same they can all be totally understand and share the feels with her. She has my sympathy for this situation though.

Well done, to all involved in making this happen.

Come home Tori.

Your position is somewhat contradictory: how do you expect people to know this as widely as possible if, every time it happens to someone, the reactions is "Well what else did she expect?" If it isn't widely publicised, people won't know. Especially considering how the UAE states have a habit of misleading potential expats by letting them believe that they are modern and tolerant. I remember a British woman who was served alcohol on a local airline on one of those countries and was then arrested on arrival for having alcohol in her bloodstream.

What says a lot to me is the type of people who either praise or call Dubai a home/second home. The likes of the Tates (Andrew and Tristan) and the rest of the so called "red pill" shitbags love the place. So that alone should be a warning to people especially women as to what type of place it is.

I have young kids and I'll be warning them to stay well away from places like that when they are older.

Wonderful news and great work by all involved, Mary Lou definitely deserves a nod.

thought this was interesting

Speaking on the same programme, Radha Stirling said she had validated the charges Ms Towey is facing with the Department of Public Prosecutions in Dubai.

"So, there's been no differences to the charges . . . which is very bizarre since they allegedly decriminalised attempted suicide in the past couple of years."

She said the UAE has also promoted that it has decriminalised alcohol consumption, "so, it's quite surprising that they would proceed to charge...take her to court knowing that she obviously needs help, needs to just go home with her family."
