Stupid rules but how can you be surprised when your country laws are based on some guy's ramblings in a cave centuries ago.

I really don't see the attraction of Dubai.

Oooo the sun in outburst at foreign country for imposing its law on brits abroad shocker.

If this ory applied its culture and laws to those that chose to call it home then the place would be much more pleasant.

While I agree with that statement generally, perhaps Britain should not do any business, and forbid any British company to do business, with places that seem to have laws that blatantly violate human rights.

This is fking daft and to suggest that Britain doesn't do business with them! We need all the fricking help we can get to keep Britain afloat from sinking too fast.

If in Dubai, don't do what the locals aren't doing. Also, don't expect to enjoy a similar level of rights! If you don't like that, don't go there!

In an ideal world yes but then we wouldnt be doing business with Saudi Arabia, UAE, India etc (bye bye arms industry). Not to mention what 'not doing business' with China would do to our economy.

And where would we get our oil/gas from?

Human rights is a globally recognised principle, via the UNHR and so on - and is the minimum rights that should be afforded to someone.
And Britain can do just fine without doing business with Dubai and so on, for that matter if the wider western world followed the same principle China would soon be forced to change it's practises.

We don't need outside help, we need a government that is prepared to do the correct thing and force the scum in this country to work

Human Rights is a globally recognised principle by nice communitarian western societies. No-one else.

There are savages and no amount of Think-Tank bullst is going to alter that, especially UN bullst

It is an arrogance that seems to follow British tourists to foreign countries they seem very unwilling to tow the line and do as the locals do. Even in countries like France the culture is different, Brits that claim the French are arrogant and unpleasant have clearly made no effort to be like their hosts, I have never found the french to anything other than helpful and friendly when you make an effort.

That's pretty niave really, you would have to include a heck of a lot of lost trade such as Project Al Yammamah for instance not to mention our needs for oil, we wouldn't trade with China either. We simply can't afford that

I wish that behavior you suggest would apply equally to those from other cultures that come to Western countries.

The same Project Al Yammamah where we are pretty sure some serious bribes and other corrupt dealings took place ...

Their country their rules.

I believe that because I also believe that people coming to Britain should play by our rules and not expect it to be like 'home'

Sadly, our leaders are people who wish that country boundaries didn't exist and that we were one big diversity celebrating, inclusive "community". We can't have anything remotely nationalist like a fking culture, as it would impinge on the minorities too much.

Oddly enough, the people I've spoken to when I was living in Easton/Bristol (Mostly non-whites) totally agree.

Once again, it isn't a snag with the people, it's a snag with the government. Our particular government want to and are smashing our country in order to facilitate a broader, more inclusive, less "bad", EU, where we will all share our wealth, hold hands, celebrate diversity, buzzword, bullst, etc and "they" will cream their rightful huge reward for being the amazing facilitators of this.

It's what happens when the population let the people in charge lose sight of their tasks.

Rights are an artifical construct created by people who have little grasp of geography or human nature. They tend to come from people in positions of comfort.

If I was in charge, those people wouldn't be in positions of comfort, they would be working like the grafting children they seek to free.

[grumbledoak]

This is the Currant Bun, people. This will not be the full story.

Even that idiotic drunken pair having sex were only in trouble when they continued after being told not to by the police.

That's the one, and to win it we merely 'out bid' our competitors
