Tommy Weir: beware the suitcase brigade after Expo 2020 victory | The National

Tommy Weir: beware the suitcase brigade after Expo 2020 victory | The National:

"Watch out, here they come. Who, you may ask? Well, the suitcase brigade is arriving on our shores – more accurately our airport runways.

The UAE is a bright spot in the global economy and now with the spotlight firmly on us thanks to Expo 2020, we are shining even brighter. Naturally this is attracting prospectors looking for a quick gain.

Just weeks before the Expo 2020 vote I was sitting in the Vault at the Marriott Marquis doing what my mum tried to teach me not to do — eavesdropping. The conversation at the next table pulled me in when one member of the suitcase brigade said to another: “They have no idea what they [referring to the current business leaders in Dubai] are doing.”"
