British Couple Calls Out Daily Mail’s “False Narrative” About Their Dubai Story

  • An article by the Daily Mail, titled “British couple who moved to Dubai because it was ‘safer than London’ return to Croydon after war erupted and say they are unlikely to return to the ‘plastic and fake’ city,” quickly gained traction and was picked up by several other Western outlets.

  • But according to the couple themselves, that narrative couldn’t be further from the truth 👀

  • Jason Kwao, the British entrepreneur mentioned in the article, took to Instagram to set the record straight and share his side of the story 📢

  • Jason added that Dubai still sits firmly in his top three places to live, and according to him, the media may sometimes sensationalise headlines, but the truth always finds its way out ❤️

  • Anyone who has followed Jason’s journey knows that his appreciation for Dubai didn’t just start yesterday. In fact, he previously appeared on the Lovin Dubai Show back in 2025, where he spoke openly about why he chose to move to the city in the first place 🙌

  • And his bottom line was “no matter where life takes us, this city will always feel like home” 🇦🇪
