8:01Now PlayingBrits living in Dubai are facing growing backlash as tensions rise over the Iran war with many considering a return to the UK.
What began as a debate over safety has quickly turned into a wider argument about tax, fairness and responsibility.
Critics say those who left Britain for a tax-free lifestyle should not expect support in a crisis, while others argue they remain British citizens deserving protection.
With fierce reactions online and a surge in inquiries about moving back, the controversy is exposing deep divisions.
