So Saudi is to allow women to drive, but critics are saying that it is still haram

F*ck off. It was letting them in pubs where it really went all wrong.

You won't catch the Saudis making that mistake.

In fact in the 19th century, eating dinner in pubs was commonplace amongst the non-kitchen-owning classes. Probably not prosciutto wrapped halibut with cauliflower puree though. Cauliflower cheese, perhaps.
