Waiting For the Flyers Pt7 (David Walsham - 2)

I've seen this myself, but in Mumbai rather than Dubai
Posted on Sat, 06 Feb 2016
Bangladeshies are treated badly and seriously ripped off in Mumbai, seem they are no better off in Dubai.
Your first stanza really struck a chord with me . . . an every day scene in many Indian cities.
Poingent and well constructed...

The more I hear about the NHS, the more I am convinced it needs to be broken up and the whole health system in the UK re-structured. Unfortunately I am also convinced whatever they did the UK government would find a way to **** it up.
