Pleased Police Scotland were one of the few to give an outright no, highly disappointing that only 3 forces refuse to do this. You shouldn't be scared to report a crime because Maybot will deport you. What a disgraceful and toxic environment we now live in

France, 2018 - A Malian immigrant scales the outside of a building to rescue a child hanging from a balcony. His reward? A meeting with the President and fast-tracked to citizenship.

 

UK, 2018 - A Zimbabwean man rescues two children from a burning house next door and spends time in hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. His reward? An invitation to Buckingham Palace and UK citizenship. Deportation.

Moral: Tories would rather risk seeing children burn to death than risk immigrants being granted citizenship.

 

I think we already know that though. I'm sure they wouldnt risk foreign-born people burning to death just to save a few quid, though, even Tories have limits, don't they....?

 

Don't they?

If this story is accurate, it is appalling! :o

End of the cold calling sharks:

 

Bosses of firms that plague householders will be held personally liable and face fines up to £500,000

A major crackdown on the bosses of cold-call firms is to be announced today

Directors' companies that place nuisance calls will be held personally liable

They can be fined up to £500,000 and will no longer be able to dodge penalties

Hah - I'll believe this only when I see the first successful court case... :rolleyes:

Please feel free to correct me if I misunderstand the DUP and their politics:

 

"We want to be part of the UK even if that means Brexit against our own citizens' votes!"

 

"...but we don't want to be part of the same human rights legislation as either Ireland, EU or the UK. We want our own way and if we don't get it we'll bring you down"

 

I think that sums it up.

No, not *everyone*, just the law-abiding ones...

 

deluded. You see evidence and are still deluded. Repeating the same old bollocks doesn't make it any more right. I will keep on arguing and pointing out reality to people like you because the alternative is to let the nonsense arguments win out of weariness, that;'s how fascism works: Trumpo is doing it right now - you chip away at decency until people get so depressed they dont object to inhuman treatment of people.

 

Your glib retorts dont convince anyone and just make you look foolish.

I agree. Genuine. Genuinely deluded.

 

I can do glib too. na na na na na na.

I don't mind you disagreeing with my opinions, but dismissing them as 'deluded' just seems rude. :mellow:

delude

dɪˈl(j)uːd/Submit

verb

past tense: deluded; past participle: deluded

make (someone) believe something that is not true.

"too many theorists have deluded the public"

synonyms: mislead, deceive, fool, take in, trick, dupe, hoodwink, double-cross, gull, beguile, lead on; More

 

And no matter how many facts I and others offer up you continue to believe lies on behalf of liars who lie constantly and who you constantly try to justify as not liars or try to give some weedy example of how someone else is just as bad.

 

I think the word is fairly accurate. Try to discuss matters in a fair way, using true facts, and express where your opinion remains firm despite all the evidence to the contrary, or else provide evidence for your views.

 

That's how scientists come to conclusions and how reasonable people make their minds up. As Ive said many times, you can believe what you want to believe, but if you express something that is provably incorrect then you shouldn't get surprised if others find it tedious at having to repeat themselves constantly at your apparent joy in trying to goad them into over-reacting by your constant looping favourite response lines.

 

PS Your response to the gun comment WAS glib. We have proven that guns uncontrolled kill people, and I gave you a link proving it, and you still made some pathetic short sentence to have the last word on something that has killed 12 MILLION f***ING PEOPLE IN 50 YEARS IN SO MANY WRONG WAYS. I call that a glib response to a majorly serious issue that we have discussed at length and you still refuse to acknowledge the truth of. Now feel free to go back to the start of this response and then ponder how not rude that description was considering how offensive tossing aside millions of deaths with an ill-considered short sentence is to some people.
