Are you guys observing the double standard in this Russia v Ukraine saga?
Not home office is saying Ukraninans with families here can come but the same home office denied Syrians and Afghans refuge saying they should claim assylum in thier first safe country of arrival. Then FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russia yet when The UK, France and US invaded Iraq, Libya and Syria, they were not suspended. Also the media organisations here are often fond of accusing the Russian media of bias but are yet to analyse the situation from a Russian perspective or from a Black man's perspective. So much hypocrysy. I pray that peace will reign and both parties will resolve their issues. Putin took a wrong step and the west also.

I don't think that is entirely true, the UK took a lot of Syrians and Afghans refuges

I agree. Also is Ukraine not in Europe even if they are not part of the Union as of yet. Hardly in the same position as Afghanistan and Syria.

Same double standard with Israel and Palestine. Everyone supports what's convenient and beneficial to them

The Uk spends £1.2m per day on refuges, Syrians and Afghanistans are among them

Nobody ever spent time to justify analysing World War 2 from Hitler's perspective, because its beyond the pale.
And yes, many publications have spoken about what could possibly be Putin's motive, but it's very clear that he is the aggressor here, not Ukraine and Ukraine's joining NATO, had that ever happened (very unlikely), would be a defensive, not offensive move.

More to the point they are oyibo Christians and the UK population would prefer immigrants (many of them will never go back) who are more like than unlike them. This is reality.

As Trump blabbed in a non-Freudian slip, the US would happily take the whole of Norway overnight if they decided to emigrate to the U.S., black and brown wait at the door first.

You can only take what you're offered.

BorisJohnson:


Do you know what the Russian media outlets accuse media organisations here of?
if you want Western world perspective, watch western media - CNN, BBC, FOX, CBS etc.
If you want Russian perspective, watch RT
If you want Nigerian perspective, watch NTA

Exactly o.
If you want individual perspective go to social media or any newspaper stand

BorisJohnson:


Don't get it twisted.
Black man's perspective is NOT, and will NEVER be Russia's perspective. Putting the two side-by-side does injustice to the Blackman's perspective.

I have not been watching the news often lately but I am yet to see the plight of our brothers stuck at the border being highlighted.

The have but Priti said they don't need to come here but to remain in the first safe country they arrive at even though some of them were headed here because they have relatives here.

He may be the aggressor but has the west not done worse? Of course we all should speak out against injustice but not be selective. The west has caused a lot of harm too but not held accountable.

tushqueen:



Okay, may be I should reframe my question. Is it legal for those without tv license to benefit from the enumerated means of entertainment?

Lol. Before we even move to TV license, IPTV (in this context) itself no dey legal . So boya, you can just complete the illegality jale jale or no do at all.

Most of them say they want to come here because of the benefit system not because of family memebrs. They pay thousands of Euros, risk their lives in dinghy while already in France. It does not make sense!!

Goodafternoon to everyone.
I have a £269 voucher from British airways for cancelled flight and I am happy to sell for £250 as I desperately need the money.
Please pm me for more details.
Thank you x

Please this is still available.
Thank you

You can’t plug to laptop what I meant by taking it with me is that I can plug to TVs anywhere I go

Okay, clarified.

The only thing I think is wrong with Russia/Putin is trying to control Ukraine. Other than that, Ukrainian are better of with their neighbor Russia. What Putin is doing is what the American government would do if they feel they will have what they consider “the enemy closer” by their neighbor joining any union.

I am very proud of the Ukrainians fighting to be free even when they have been neglected by the people that promised them heaven and earth. They know they can’t beat the Russians, but they believe they can protect themself. And the world “patriotic”, should be replaced in the dictionary with “Ukrainians”.

@lagosismyhome, Stenon, tushqueen, Fatima and all other women on this forum, what is wrong with women complementing a man.

Every time I go out with my son, these Scottish women and grand mothers will say, he is fine and has cute eyebrows. Some will even say he has beautiful eyeballs. Non has ever said, he looks so much like you.

The one that got me this mood now is the GP at A&E a night ago telling him that he has a very cute Eyebrows and that he must have gotten it from his mother. Haba na. Madam swear you can’t see the cute eyebrow on my face.

Why na. I thot women now say everything and that oyibo women compliment men too. Why the double standard na.

We are in "me too movement era " so everyone gat to be careful. Before a little compliment either to a man or woman is taken the wrong way by the giver or the receiver

You can refuse but be ready for a section 21 whilst they can still use it. A good way of refusing could be showing comparables (dicey as rents are at record high rates), suggesting that as you've been a good tenant, it'll be good to be rewarded with some predictability for 12 months or so. You can also choose to ignore it and continue paying the old rent

The exact reason, it makes sense to sign a long term contract.......

And before expiration, you should hopefully have bought your own house ........

Yes she has to say that else you will have uncontrollable amount of people at the border, smugglers will take advantage.

I think the British media houses have been fair in covering this war and many other wars specially sky news, there is no state-owned media here unlike Russia, no media station here will not be out of business for even questioning the prime minister.

When you say "the west", it's helpful to break it down into its major players, first the US and [the western] Europe[an nations]. The Anzac nations and Canada are bit players.

Most definitely the US and the UK bear the responsibility for the mess that Iraq has become, and that action could not and cannot be justified now. But the Europeans were firmly against it. The continuing hypocrisy in Palestine (that land is definitely theirs, insofar as any people can be said to have a claim to land in this world) is also firmly opposed by the EU, as America taking religion too far.

However, since the Cold War at least, the west is forced to moralize intensively each time it takes military action, irrespective of what the planners of the action really think. And again, western nations are gradually becoming decadent as opposed to China and Russia and all those people who are still very conversant with hardship, so the west has to persuade its people first before it does anything, because they are not as ready to leave their pub drinking and iPhone buying and Lanzarote-holidaying to carry a gun, enter a tank and go and find other people's trouble, which means extensive justification that can at least withstand scrutiny, irrespective of how much of a lie it really is.

Putin, on the other hand, basically woke up in the morning, decided that his ex was having too much fun without him and decided to go and chase her away from the new guy she has been eyeing. No justification, not bothering to tell the world his reasons, nothing.

The two don't compare.

You can ask when you've got equality of arms.
In the UK today, most renters are way, way outgunned by landlords in most cities, and foreign students with families are cannon fodder when it comes to house-hunting. Take it or leave it is the order of the day.

If I was a landlord, I'd rather an existing tenant who pays when due and does not give wahala to trying to get how much extra and risk getting someone who might be a horrible tenant.

How many months notice does the Lamesley need to give the tenant if he wants to increase rent?

The laws doesn't apply to friends and family..

UN were against bush invasion of Iraq, what did they do? Where are the sanctions?

Bush swore Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that he is a threat to the whole world. They invaded and destroyed a country with no justified.

Whenever brown people take up arms in defence, they are labelled as terrorists. But the Ukrainians are hero's.

Last last, What do I know, all we can do is observe. As for the past few decades there have always been multiple Active wars/conflict around the world.

I don't see anything special about the Russian invasion

Ok
