    Real estate prices in Dubai have actually dropped 30% as of a couple of days ago, if no other outlet has the story, I guess we’ll have to read it here.
    And I haven’t seen anybody else reporting on it that have been linked here on World News.
    The story is absolutely relevant to what is going on in the middle east right now.

    Link a better story on it if you have one.

    property developers listed on the Dubai Financial Market – has plunged by 30 per per cent

    Perfectly in line with the info I have!

    Excellent article describing a real problem, the source may not be liked, but the story is accurate in its details.

    Edit PS:
    If you can’t point to any inaccuracies, then claiming muaahh Daily mail is baaaddd mua muah.
    It’s fucking tiresome, when people that claim that NEVER show anything regarding the articles that are actually posted.
    Tabloid papers are known to be a mix of stories to sell papers and stories that justify their existence. All papers are like that to some degree. Grow up!!!
    I have clearly stated here that the content is solid, so what is you problem people?

          You can also go straight to the source and look up the real estate prices yourself, you don’t have to get this info from a tabloid.

            And where exactly would you look that up?

            Edit:
            That there is an issue with real estate prices in Dubai that is.
            I should have written WHY would I look that up? As in not knowing there is an issue, if I hadn’t learned about it.

              Do you know how to use a search engine? The “article” claims a 30% drop in the DFM Real Estate Index. If you search for “DFM Real Estate Index” on any search engine you’ll get a handful of websites that have current and historical prices for the DFMREI.

                Which you probably read in the article, or do you automatically think, HEY LETS LOOK UP real estate prices in Dubai? I bet it’s called “DFM Real Estate Index”!

                Looking it up only confirms the point of the article, which I had already seen from 2 other sources previously, it’s gone up about 5% the last 3 days, but it was down 30% a couple of days ago.
                So what’s your point really? Apart from showing your ignorant intolerance.

                So again where would you look up what to look up to know what’s going on with whatever is going on?

                What other things should I look up directly, without reading somewhere that something is going on?
                I will fucking read it in the daily mail if nobody else cares to bring the story. And other major outlets still haven’t brought this story. Possibly because it’s contrary to the narrative USA is trying to create.

                Goddam there are too many arrogant assholes like you here, who actually know nothing.
                Not looking at the article would make the poster I responded to ignorant about all of this.
                Exactly as I wrote, he would stay ignorant of the issue.

                  What the hell are you talking about? You asked me how someone could look up the claims made in the article, and I told you. A lot of people don’t trust the daily mail, and for good reason.

                    I never claimed they should, but I am still correct that in this case the article is correct, and he would be ignorant of the issue if he didn’t.
                    THEN afterwards you can try to verify this.

                    So again without having read the article, where would you look up that this is an issue?
                    What was the point of claiming I can look it up directly?
                    Where would the knowledge come from to get the idea to look it up directly?

                    Your comment was nonsense, and maybe I was unclear. But your response was still nonsense in the context.

      You are assuming that it’s true. The Daily Mail has no such requirement for its articles

        No I’m not assuming the important things in the article are true, because they are facts. And there is no reason to not believe the rest.
        We also have papers that have a bad reputation, but those same papers still have lots of good articles. I don’t like how everything from certain media is disregarded, simply based on the name of the media, with complete disregard for the content of the article.

        Never never ever have I seen anyone taking the effort to point to actual mistakes in such articles, they are merely knee jerk reactions, and I’m honestly getting tired of it, especially when it’s an issue that is true and significant that we haven’t seen brought up before.

          How do you know they are facts? If the Daily Mail told me it was raining, I would ask two other people or just go look for myself. I do not trust what liars tell me. When other people corroborate the report, then I will trust it.

            Because I’ve seen the key facts corroborated from 2 other sources already before reading this article. From news sources that specialize in the Iran war.

                Those were not articles, and for that reason can’t be posted here.
                One source I think was Jake Broe on Youtube a military analyst, and I think the other was an interview with Jiang Xueqin. A professor in game theory, who predicted that Trump would start a war against Iran 2 years ago, and also predicted that USA would lose, which they in many ways are.
                One thing is that these are not mainstream outlets, and sometimes such details can only be learned, from sources that go in depth with specific issues.
                The story in daily mail is not so much reporting on the news from Dubai, but more reporting on something that happened to British people living abroad. But the story still has value, despite it’s a different angle.

                If you make a search for it, you will find hundreds of results on the issue, but it hasn’t reached major outlets yet, maybe because Trump has threatened media with penalties for reporting anything negative from the war, and calls it treason!?! So it is not without risk reporting this by a major channel in USA. Also Ellison an insane Nazi family controls a lot of American media.
