Farmers protesting because they can't pass on millions in assets to their kids tax free.

I'm finding it hard to have sympathy here lads.

They're only going to be paying half of what everyone else has to pay, and it can be paid over 10 years. That's a good deal.

Am I wrong for thinking they are cheeky twats?

An 18-year-old Briton faces up to 20 years in a Dubai prison for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old British girl while the pair were on holiday in the emirate, a human rights campaigner has said.

Marcus Fakana, of Tottenham, north London, was on holiday with his family when he began a secretive holiday romance in September with another Londoner, who has since turned 18, according to Radha Stirling, of campaign group Detained in Dubai.

After returning home and seeing pictures and chats, the girl's mother reported the relationship to Dubai police, who then arrested Mr Fakana at his hotel, Ms Stirling said.

Dunno, it's 16 here and 18 over there.

Absolutely no common sense shown here.

They have very strict consent laws so when you travel there you have to abide by their age of consent law not the one where you come from.

Not disagreeing. I wouldn't go there and I don't think anyone else should.

Deportation would have been appropriate imo.

Either way, 18 year old looking at 20 years for consensual sex with a girl the same age. Crazy.

It's just a lesson he has to learn the hard way about researching countries laws before you visit but idk that wouldn't help in this case because he thought she turned 18 already. She was a few months away.
