Fußballer Jonjo Shelvey über seine Abreise aus England nach Dubai: „Wenn ich ehrlich bin, möchte ich nicht mehr, dass meine Kinder in England aufwachsen. Wir haben Glück, dass wir in einem schönen Teil des Vereinigten Königreichs gelebt haben. Aber wo ich ursprünglich herkomme, kann man keine schönen Dinge haben. Ich würde in London nie eine Uhr tragen oder mein Handy rausholen.“

**The full quote from headline**
„If I’m honest, I don’t want my children growing up in England any more. We’re very lucky that we lived in a nice part of the UK but where I’m from, originally, you can’t have nice things in my opinion.
„I’d never wear a watch in London any more. You can’t have your phone out in London, in my view.“
„I’m not massive on reading politics,“ Shelvey said. „I just see some of the things that go on.
„I see people getting arrested for tweeting and, then, all of the flags and ‚taking back the country‘.
„I’m not going to sit here and comment on things like that because I’m not clever enough to, and I’ll get myself into trouble if I carry on, but I just feel that the UK isn’t what it was 10 to 15 years ago.“
“Where I grew up, in Harold Hill, it was rough and it still is now. I used to live in a little council flat, next to the shops, and there was always trouble, people getting stabbed. One Christmas I was in the pub with my dad and I looked across and there was a bullet hole in the television. I said: ‚Can we go, dad?‘ My dad still lives in the same place, my mum and my sister live in Brentwood, further out. My sister was pregnant and I didn’t want her baby growing up in the same area, so I bought her a house.“ ~ Jonjo Shelvey, 2013
I’d rather live in Bradford than Dubai, and it’s not even close.
Who? And what does this have to do with r/europe? If this dude wants to live in the land of slave labor, good for him.
Picking dubai of all places..
Just say it’s for the money lol, we all know that’s why you are going there
He always struck me as being one bolt short of a nut.
Should we care? Like who is this and why he so important to share here?
Everyone knows why Europeans move to Dubai – it’s usually one word answer.
Gotta laugh at a descendent of gypsies complaining about petty theft.
Why the fuck are his talking points straight from Triggernometry if he’s not that into politics? I’m convinced that Kisin is a Russian agent working to destabilize the UK.
Don’t blame him. UAE is one of the best Country in the world. It’s clean, prosperous and safe. Families and women can walk around at night without fear.
Because of sharia law, crime is low and punishment unforced for criminals.
Lol sure, because Dubai is not infinitely worse.
I feel like he’s overreacting, but whatever, I haven’t been to the UK in a long time. I’m sure Dubai is nice if you’re rich.
Lmao it isn’t, he ain’t gonna get the kind of money that players from top clubs are being offered. It’s no different than going to the states for a player of that level. You’d think he’d be less inclined to play there given the whole human rights issues and all the rest of it but if he wants out of England I can understand that too to some degree.
He is over-egging it with the chat about „can’t have nice things“ though.
Yeah Uk is a shit holy place can’t blame him for moving
He looks a bit like that Stephen Miller guy in Trumps admin.
When you guys catch up with the fact that Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are much better places to live now, because they kicked out all of their fundamentalists to Europe, let me know.
Slavery in Dubai? Sure. Your uber eats driver is also probably a slave to the people who brought him in the country illegally from the Islamist countries. The world is facked because we cannot speak about the kind of immigration we want. It’s bad now that only 14 million Islamists are in Europe. And you are ensuring they are going to be 100 million in a few decades, with each having on average 6 kids.
Give me South East Asian and Chinese and Indian and South/Central American immigrants, bring 100 million of them in Europe, and the societies won’t be worse off.
