I do so full-heartedly agree, Georgie. It is the plight of the women in the hands of these mindless macho thugs which breaks my heart. Having seen it first hand when forced to attend a conference in Dubai, it utterly repelled me and made me very angry. I will never go to countries in that part of the world nor, indeed, any Muslim country. I know I will be accused of prejudice and so be it, but what Mrs T saw and experienced there was a disgrace to humanity. Barely above the level of savages. We were deeply offended by it all and, at times. went in fear of our lives.
