Does being gay make him less of a human being ? I don't get it. We are commanded to love everybody. He did not put caveats or exceptions on that. You must love. Unconditionally. That's it
Zahra29: A lot of this resentment stems from public opinion that asylum seekers are chancers who are living it large on the state with free accommodation and benefits and doing nothing but going shopping and popping out babies.
And who can blame them if this is the narrative being put out there on Facebook and the like.
Ahem ....cough cough that egalite whatever led them to try to stamp out local cultures in their overseas colonies inorder to form the population into "Frenchmen" . It didnt work. They should have studied the Roman Empire. Rome governed with a light touch however Empires have an expiry date and even they eventually fell.
Very interesting discussions here today.
Cyberknight: Yes, there's that perception about France which is ironic, because the French were actually the first oyibo country to not only preach, but also actually attempt to practise so-called Liberte, Egalite and Fraternite. France is definitely not more racist in any way; the major problem France has is because it is such a heavily regulated place, it is not very easy for people to get ahead in life when you are disadvantaged as opposed to the more lightly regulated Anglo countries like the UK and the US, which of course tends to lead to relatively higher numbers of immigrants at the lower end of the socio-economic scale.
If anyone can just turn up and claim asylum,then the asylum system is working just as it should. Its up to the courts to decide whether they have a right to asylum. We know that 75% of our asylum seekers do have a good case and are granted asylum.
The reasons for choosing the UK are immaterial to be honest. Those 2 countries you mentioned take in even more than we do. so many choose to stay in mainland Europe. The few who decide to make the perilous journey to our shores must feel strongly connected to the UK. I doubt it's the 7 pounds and Bibby Stockholm aka plague city that's the main motive.
Cyberknight: I don't think it's foolish. It might not be working as a policy, but its aim is to serve as a deterrent of sorts. If anyone can turn up and claim asylum then start to work while their claims are heard, that becomes a draw.
Of course this is allowed in the US and France, among others, which are major recipients of asylum seekers. It's interesting that so many asylum seekers pass through France and come to the UK instead - most likely because they feel that its easier to get under-the-table work in the UK than actual proper employment in France with its heavily regulated labour market (is it?).
I wonder whether that has been the case in canada and the USA where they are allowed to work.
The cruelty is mindbending. I am a refugee ,you keep me in a hotel room sharing with 3 other people i dont know on 7 pounds/day. I can't go outside without being harassed by people who hate me It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit that there are not more suicides than there are.
What would Jesus do if he met an asylum seeker,I wonder? Would he treat them the same way?
Zahra29: They do grant right to work to claimants who have been waiting longer than 12 or 18 months for a decision. Although they are restricted to jobs on the shortage occupation list.
The argument has been that giving then unrestricted access to the labour market from day 1 would act as a stronger pull factor for intending boat crossers and false asylum seekers.
Happy International Womens Day 2024 to all women everywhere and their allies in the struggle for women's rights.
I leave you with this quote

You can work. They are not allowed to. Thats a foolish policy enacted by the labour government.
Let them work while their claims are going through the courts. the country gets the tax and doesn't have to support them. The asylum seekers have a sense of purpose and more money for themselves. Its a win for everyone.
I dont think anyone should have public money until they ve paid into it. 5 years is a bit much though.
lavida001: All this are being paid for with my tax money yet I’m not entitled to public funds. Na wa oo
500 pounds monthly payment is not paltry in any way.

Light2023: Oh dear, i know how you feel, I’ve totally lost range of motion of my hips to the point that I can’t even open my legs to sit on a bike. May we remain mentally strong through this because it can be mentally depressing.
Thanks for sharing what you’ve been using for the pain, I’ll give it a try because the drugs I’ve been using aint working for me.
1. Go to any early morning farmers' marketer near you. Reason: they are directly from the farmers and very cheap. You'd buy like the retailers do, to sell during the day.
2. For whatever fruit, make sure it's well-ripened and sweet while selecting.
3. Buy in bulk.
4. Take home and employ labourers to peel skin, remove seeds and slice smaller.
5. Spread in hot scorching sun on a sackspread to dry.
6. Keep bringing out daily to sundry till it's well dried, then bag.
7. When ready, brand, package and market very well.
8. Or turn into packaged juice by grinding to powder and mix with water/sugar. Brand, package and market too.
Absolutely not. Hygiene? You are employing just any labourer and spreading just anyhow .
Yes. Women inherit in Igboland,its been settled at the supreme court. If you let your brother take everything, na you sabi
You often express misogynistic outdated opinions here. Are you sure you are a woman?or you are just not very well-travelled?

See we all have them in our families. This one dey pain me because na my twin.
profemebee: 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
Read the press release from the justices themselves in which they set out the judgment in laymans terms . These are the facts of the case as they stand now. Read everything, understand everything then if you have any further questions mention me.
Thought you said you discussed all the pertinent issues. You did not discuss finances? Really?
Well, you have to discuss it now. Fix a date for a talk to set boundaries everyone is happy with both with money and time spent together.
NB: an adult cannot take permission from you to do anything. Being married did not make her a child.
carojody: My fellow Nlanders, Good evening to all. I will not bore you with long stories so I will get to it right away.
I got married to my wife about 6 months ago. We had a 3yrs dating though it was a long distance relationship. During the courting period I asked her all the pertinent questions and she answered maybe to suit me. We eventually got married.
A little of my own life story: I am an orphan, the last child in the family with 3 older siblings. Growing up was tough without the love of parents so it was hell of a tussle in the streets. Recorded lots of loses financially. Also lost the first love I ever had but life has to go on.
On her part, she is the first child in a family of 5 children. Both parents alive and young. Healthy and strong. She currently works with a bank.
We go married 6months ago, I told her things I desired most during our days of dating which was a caring person capable of love. And she told me she has that quality being the first child. We went ahead and got married.
After marriage I discovered a strange thing. She really do care, she shows love too but to her family. She acts like I don't even exist. She does not see me. Sometimes I get jealous the kind of love she bequeaths on her brothers. I provide every thing in the house even to her transportation to work, but I hardly knw when her salary drops. In fact she shares her salary to her family before it drops. She would go through my wardrobe and select my clothes she deems too tight for me and send to her brothers.
I can sspend 5 hours with her in the house and she will be on the phone giggling and gisting with her family. She cannot cook well no clean the house. Totally lacks "Respect". Instead of eating poison every time she cooks, I do most of the cooking myself.
She does not need my approval for anything she simply sends money to her siblings as she pleases and even quarrels with me for not giving her to send. Recently I discovered she paid her brothers school fee. And as I write she is asking me for her transportation to work this week and I noticed she just received her salary yesterday cos I overheard her on the phone.
Please this is not the life I prayed for. I'd have remained single that be in a marriage like this. Who has a good advice please. I beg of u fam, how do I navigate these waters.

The Telegraph is not a credible source as you may be suspecting from reading their racist posts.
hustla: "According to the Sunday Telegraph, the 19-year-old played an active role in the organisation’s reign of terror and was allowed to carry a Kalashnikov rifle, earning herself a reputation as a strict “enforcer” of laws, such as dress code.
Allegations also emerged today that Ms Begum had been witnessed preparing suicide vests for would-be bombers"
See her face like mashed potatoes wey them no do well. They should dash someone with sense the passport abeg
No, you have failed to produce any proof that she aided IS by sewing suicide vests. That would have been an actual crime.
So far only you and the daily mail are making this claim. Regretfully , that does not constitute evidence.
- in case anyone is wondering about "head in bins" , she did say she was unmoved by seeing a severed head in a bin. Not nice to say but coming from a radicalised victim ,certainly not worthy of banishment
- I have since learned that there has been another case like this in the intervening period. The child in that case was rightly treated as a victim and recieved the help she needed.
-Last i heard, being a victim of grooming is not a crime. Its a bit apples and oranges to me. Being groomed into marrying an older terrorist is not on a par at all with a serious crime like murder now, is it?
ReesheesuKnack: Yes, she was a child. At 15. So are Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe.
PS: For those that don’t know, Scarlett Jenkinson Eddie Ratcliffe were the two teenage murderers of Brianna Ghey.
I printed out the Begum story and gave my 14 year old girl to read, and digest. The message is clear, very clear. If she allows her ‘naughty’ teenage gra-gra to overcome her, Miss Begum’s fate can befall her.
justwise: Too harsh you said? How about those who were killed by IS? How about those her husband killed and showed off on videos?
She can claim Bangladeshi citizenship but that comes with a reward which is not willing to receive.
Do you also spend time to remember innocent souls they wasted and do you fight for justice for their families?
I must have missed the evidence of her personally carrying out those atrocities. She wasn't an IS fighter.
She only married a monster as a 15 year old child after being groomed and radicalised. Is guilt now transmitted by child marriage?
Punishment was too harsh and has not scratched the surface of the systemic rot that allowed IS to be able to contact a British child. It's worrying to think your child may be saying hello to a terrorist groomer under your very roof. At this very minute
