What an insult to Beirut, I was there in September on business, the people are wonderfully hospitable. Me and some of my collegues ended up in a bit of a glitzy bar called the Sky Bar (bit too poncy for my tastes but still fun). At the end of the evening one of my Lebanese collegues asked if I could help, as some very drunk English girl had been abandoned by her English girl friends (equally drunk). She didnt have passport, money, or knew which hotel she was in. In the UK, she’d have been dumped on the streets and been prey to the lowlifes that wander around at night. In Beirut, the locals where more concerned about ensuring she got back to her hotel safely. A Lebanese girl eventually offered to drive her around hotels (in her Range Rover Sport – but hey thats Beirut for you)until she recognised which one she was in – and eventually they got her back to her hotel.

Can you imagine that happening in the UK, anyone owning an RR-Sport would be too up their own arse to help a Drunken foreigner.

So said Mayor needs to write an apology – what an insult.

From cruyffliverpool:

Absoloutely terrible article, truly terrible.

Adam Gabbatt, have you ever even been to Penewortham? Stop spouting nonsensical garbage, you actual cretin

Thank you sane people of this world.

Actually, since I’ve already sent Mayor Coun Jim Hothersall a certificate, I will now be sending one to Adam Gabbatt. Hopefully, both men will get the point.
