The UAE propaganda project in UK

"It included some of David Cameron's closest lieutenants and sought to mould UK policy to suit its own political ambitions – at the expense of its Middle East rivals. The network successfully targeted top British newspapers and BBC journalists, leading to naked attacks on its arch-rival Qatar – though one key member admitted boasting in an email that he had kept the UAE's involvement secret.The UAE also mounted a diplomatic offensive that persuaded Cameron to order a surprise 'review' into the Muslim Brotherhood – a focus for its internal opposition – while targeting a campaigner who highlighted the country's appalling human rights record."
