Sometimes when I hear how much some of these companies we admire are owing I'm baffeled.

Imagine say bank dey own credit 😀

We need to learn when to stop back and forth with people who refuse to use facts not emotions..

She has refused to get knowledge about this.. refused to watch the start of this.. even when it is documented and covered by reputable media and new outlets.. refused to have the full context ..

The fact she is making excuses for a terrorist is enough reason to just Pause on the conversation..

We can as well pardon all the teenage murderers cos they're "kids".. free them up and let them run the streets

This is who she is making excuses for

-I would have thought both systems worked together to ensure everyone has experienced legal representation however shallow their pockets are.

- I was a foolish 15yr old at one time. I held some narrowminded views at that time.The brain does not fully develop till your early 20s. She made those choices but noone can say she had full capacity. The consequences are too dire . We havent even tried deradicalisation and rehab.

- Some of the people on this thread have 15 Yr olds. You are a lucky parent if you can place your hand over your heart and swear that your 15 Yr old daughter has enough critical thinking to remain adamant in the face of peer pressure.

- Every family has 1 blacksheep. You all got the same training but in at least 1 of you,it didn't take. Shall we blame your parents then? But 5 other children are highfliers. Some children are just naughty and won't listen.

I was a foolish 15 year old too and na me gangan be the black sheep that year. I did many many things but the thought of going to join a group to murder people en masse never crossed my mind. I don't know about you sha but that's not normal in any way and it's beyond 'naughty'. Crucially, she stayed there and carried on doing what she was doing as an adult, so the argument of being just a 15 year old cannot hold water since she didn't remain permanently at that 'naive' age where she might be afforded the excuse of being a child. In fact, her siblings being high fliers is evidence that she actively set out to be a deviant and a murderer, so the 'oh she just somehow found herself there' case doesn't work. She saw people decapitating people and decided 'yes, that's what I want to go and be a part of.'

Now, what did she do as she grew older? Did she begin to moderate and seek to reverse her actions? No. See the excerpt below from her Wiki page:

The Daily Telegraph reported that Begum had been an "enforcer" in IS's "morality police", and had tried to recruit other young women to join the jihadist group.[24] The report said that she was allowed to carry a Kalashnikov rifle and earned a reputation as a strict enforcer of IS's laws, such as dress codes for women. An anti-IS activist was also reported by The Daily Telegraph as saying that there were allegations of Begum stitching suicide bombs into explosive vests so they could not be removed without detonating.[25]


This, apparently, is what you consider 'naughty'.

- I get yearly training on deradicalisation as part of mandatory training. Radicalisation is a systemic issue . If I was the UK, I would be looking into how they got access to her, who else is affected. Banning her hasn't solved the problem and is a tad performative.

1. She doesn't need to be in the country for them to investigate how she left and did what she did plus that has already been done.
2. it doesn't need to solve the problem fully. Abi will her being in the UK solve it either? It's not performative - it's effective at keeping one terrorist out and every 1 fewer terrorist in the country is a win worth celebrating.

- Realistically, being her neighbour is the safest you can be . It's a win win. If she is indeed a hard-core bad woman, she ll never bomb her home. If she isn't a terrorist, then she won't bomb it either


Someone who traveled to join suicide bombers is who you think will not bomb her home? Lol.


I m here all morning, people. Come and fight. Bolekaja! ( I hope that means come down and fight)

Everybody has a right to good legal representation. Legal aid is Beans and actually does some good compared to the billions the government has now wasted on Rwanda and PPE.


Unlike in the US, where public defenders are crap, I hear they operate a taxi rank system here where Barristers are not allowed to turn down a case so long as they are next in line.
I love Europe!there was joined up thinking going on at some point in this country .

Chreze:
I see you are awake, any idea if it is needed to add passport photograph to DVLa form. I want to believe it’s just BRP if you are using BRP and nothing more. Right?

Lexusgs430:
It's indeed very strange how all this people wanting her back in UK, don't want her to live next to them......... 🤣😁😜

missjekyll:
1. She was born here, never been to Bangladesh in her life. She was radicalised in the UK at 15 years old ie a child. Why does the UK get to export this frankenstein that they nurtured? I say bring her home ,investigate her part in IS and throw her in jail.

2. Bangladesh has said she will face the death penalty if she enters the country. She is now stateless. The UK knew that removing her citizenship would make her stateless and did it anyway.

3. I am a bit worried as it appears there are 2 tiers of citizenship. An irrevocable and a revocable one.
How many generations down the line will my offspring have to be to acquire this irrevocable citizenship.

These are the 3 major arguments i have heard against the government's position.I havent read her lawyers argument so there may be more.It's a Landmark case and will likely get to the Supreme Court.

I haven't addressed "supporting terrorism" as I believe its too easy to disprove that theory.

Years ago this lady's case generated a massive argument here, many Nigerians in this thread supported this terrorist.

I'm glad that the govt won again.

How many times will I tell you guys that I don't live in the UK, have never lived in the UK and have no desire to live in the UK or any part of Europe or America for that matter...I prefer to just pop in and out of Europe when business or pleasure takes me there!

Hello people (especially AmEx users).
Can I transfer or donate my Amex BA companion voucher? I do have one companion voucher which will expire in March.

Also, I just maxed out my avios for the year (I spent £12,000 and have got a new companion voucher. Will any more spending accrue more avios for me? Or I have to wait till June to start getting avioses?

ReesheesuKnack:
So, after coming here, wanting to diss someone, you ended up making mockery of yourself.

1. You certainly have zero 0️⃣ understanding of what tautology is, or what it means to say something is tautological.
Granted, OP used the word ‘Borrow’ instead of ‘Lent’. Is that tautology? Hell NO!

You certainly don’t know what ‘tautological grammar’ means.

Sorry sir/maam.

ToshoTosin:
Hello everyone,
I have a question, my bro and his wife have been with us since they came in September.
I found out they already registered to vote on our address without asking or informing us. They don't pay council tax or rent
I cannot find a way to remove them, will this be an issue for us? Since it's just two people we said are living in the house?.

Thank you.

Zahra29:
Playing devil's advocate: An explanation could have been sought and provided via Teams or email or even whatsapp ,which could be used as evidence in court to prove that it was spurious in nature.
What if the employee had been admonished via teams etc so there was evidence of a warning e..g
"please try to make every effort to attend the team meeting in the future or let us know in advance"
Witnesses could also be brought in to corroborate the employer's account.

It's not necessarily a black and white victory for the employee. And the reality is that most employees do not have the capacity to take an employer to court for various reasons, so the employer can easily get away with a less than kosher reference.

However, I agree that it could turn into a legal headache which is partly why larger organisations don't do detailed or subjective references - not worth the hassle or risk.

Zahra29:
What if the prospective employer sent out a comprehensive reference questionnaire, as many do, and the current employer decided to answer fully instead of sending out a template response.

Some questions might probe the candidate's absence and punctuality record as well as other aspects of their performance, and leave space for examples. So if the current employer decides to answer candidly e.g. "employee works well in a team,and although it wasn't a disciplinary matter, it was noticed on occasion that he joined meetings quite late and sometimes skipped important meetings without giving a valid explanation"

I don't see why the employer would be penalised by a tribunal if he has receipts e..g Teams records to back up his response.

Viruses:
The information I have provided is true, not false. It is well documented, none discriminatory and has verifiable evidence. Whether the company was fair in it's policy of not disciplining every employee post every single or recurring err is another thing.

Just so you know, the company could also have brought these things to the employee's notice, give them fair hearing etc and still mention them in references because doing those things does not invalidate what happened.

Zahra29:
Yes you can. As long as the information provided is fair and accurate, non-discriminatory, and can be backed up if needed, then it's up to the employer/company policy how much detail they provide. For example, you can choose to comment or answer questions on the employee's sickness or absence record.

Viruses:
I did not mean I will fabricate things against you. As an employer, I can easily pick up things I could ordinarily overlook and use it against you in referencing and it will be justifiable. You won't know you've committed certain blunders that I overlooked until you take me to court and I present evidence.

That aside, what do you mean by the bolded? Will the employee take over the company if he wins?

Viruses:
In Nigeria, you tribalise me I tribalise you, you discriminate me based on race I return the energy a hundred fold. But here, if you discriminate me racially, what will I do? I then become vulnerable and that is the difference.

And for the records, we are trying to fight tribalism in Nigeria.

deept:
Now that's taking everything to the extreme.

From your argument, i can say the government should give everything to whoever wants to claim any form of benefits at the expense of every other service it is supposed to render.

deept:
1.Social care should not be outsourced. The major winners are the private social care companies, property investors
So government should be the one running social care, right? Support workers, PAs etc - all of them should be hired by councils. And since you mention property investors, councils should be the ones building/managing care homes as well, right?

2.Families should be involved in care and not leave it 100% to government
What does this mean exactly? Do you think families are not involved in the status quo, and what does involvement mean to you? They should stay at home and be caregivers, right? So which family members should it be? Parents should retire and become carers when they birth children with disabilities? Elder siblings should do the same when they have younger siblings with disability?
What happens to those people's careers, life plans etc? Will they be paid at a rate commensurate with what they would be earning if they were, for instance, an investment banker in London before? Or would having a family member with a disability mean automatically that someone is doomed to the salary of a healthcare worker for life?

3.Disability should be dis-incentivized. Some people wear it as a badge of honor and it seems all these benefits encourage people to jump on the gravy train
How exactly should disability be disincentivized in your opinion? Again, you should check what people generally get paid, because it seems you're still letting your view be skewed by this one edge case.

4. Being disabled does not mean a person cant be productive, subject to the kind of disability they have and can be encouraged to contribute to the society rather than be a liability.
That's the status quo. Being disabled doesn't even automatically entitle people to benefits of any kind. There are thresholds and checks before a person begins to receive any kind of support.

You say this is an individual case, yes a few 10s or hundred people in a council but the impact that is having on council funds to effect its other functions. Besides I didnt say those not able to work shouldnt be supported, was responding to somone who said social care is helping the economy.
Robust economy?
I said robust economy in general terms. Whether any given economy is robust or not, supporting people with the ability to live properly must be a priority, or would you rather things be like they are in some countries where disabled people roll around on the street on wooden boards, half naked because they're too poor to buy clothes, holding plates in their hands and begging passerby for money to feed, because there's no support from the government to be had?

deept:
Benefit the economy? When funds that should be used for other services, build infrastructure and other productive ventures are being cut reducing the general quality of life. In the council I live they released a list of services that they are planning to cut eg. School hours, roads that will be gritted during winter snow, frequency of garbage collection, closing down public buildings, reducing the hours street lights will be on for amongst other essentials services not to add councils going bankrupt, laying off of staff and increasing taxes. This and others with their wider implications.

I am not against social care, etc but the money will eventually run out someday and taxes will continue to go up etc. plus a lot of these providers and users are gaming the system, making loads of money.

What I meant is that if you apply to enter the Schengen area using Greece, you'll get quicker dates for appointment but the catch is that you'll only be able to use the visa once or twice (Single or Double Entry to the Schengen area) and I'm sure you'll probably prefer multiple entries as you might want to visit other countries.

So if you want to get quicker dates using Greece as entry point and at the same time get multiple entries to visit as much Schengen countries as you want, you'll have to fully book and pay for holiday in three different Schengen countries (including Greece) which will be presented to the V.O to get a high chance of getting multiple entries.

Does the above help?

Hi, thought to share my experience as a 1st time schengen visa applicant even though it is a while back.
My family and I applied for a schengen visa (for france) in the 1st week of Dec with a paid ticket with travel date in April 24. Took about 1 week of meticulous checking for appointment but we were able to get dates on a wedbesday at 11.30pm for the middle of dec.
We got our passports back 1 week after with visa stickers.

I'd say, keep checking for availabilities especially towards midnight. Also, they seem to release dates in small blocks (rather than availability 2 - 3 months ahead).

Best wishes.

You seem to still not be getting the point despite people trying to make you see it in a measured manner, with some even skirting around the obvious folly unto say you be “respected” person on this platform. It is well.
