  1. There is always someone trying to make an easy 'buck'. When I worked in KSA years ago, many expats would take home to the UK a suitcase full of cigarettes, cos in Saudi they cost around $6-10 USD for 200, in the UK maybe 10 times that. If they were caught at customs they would only get confiscated, so no real loss! But this 51Kg of Cannabis, they could get 5 years in Prison!
  2. No, because nobody really know how many people actually get thru, its not like would advertise it?
  3. Correct, but as long as the money keeps rolling, they don't seem to care!
  4. Riverway Law are going to be under the microscope, quite rightly!
  5. "he described Britain as potentially becoming an “island of strangers.” Well he's not wrong for a change?
  6. Maybe you are correct, but don't the immigration staff have something like an 'intelligence' division, that collates information on potential suspects? ... Just a thought!
  7. Maybe, but what a way to live, having to look over your shoulder all the time?
  8. You may be correct, but there are some no doubt, not me, that will call that racist?
  9. Claire Shipman is the Acting President of Columbia University, appointed in March 2025 following the resignation of Minouche Shafik amid controversies over campus protests and antisemitism allegations
  10. UK police spent approximately 60,000 hours in 2024 investigating non-crime hate incidents related to social media posts. Hate crime investigations (140,561 cases in 2023–2024) likely consume ~1.4 million hours annually (rough estimate, 10 hours per case), with longer resolution times (e.g., 37 days for some offenses). In the UK, for the year ending June 2024, 11% of serious crimes—specifically violent and sexual crimes like rape, assault, grievous bodily harm, and stalking—were solved, meaning they resulted in a charge, summons, or out-of-court outcome (e.g., caution). This leaves 89% unsolved, closed without a suspect identified or charged. In the United States, the solve rate (or clearance rate) for serious crimes, specifically violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault), was approximately 36.7% in 2022, according to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data. This means that 63.3% of violent crimes went unsolved. For 2023, data is less complete, but trends suggest similar or slightly improved rates for some crimes. So maybe , just maybe, if the police, in the UK, concentrated on serious crime, put these officers out on the street instead of sitting behind a desk and computer, they wouldn't need so many more resources!
  11. Once again the BBC showing bias, which is against the Royal Charter under which legally it operates. How many more times do we have see this before someone, like the UK Government, do something to remove this archaic legacy media.
  12. Err, no she is not, her net worth is around $100,000 as of 2025!!! https://www.ibtimes.com/greta-thunberg-net-worth-finances-climate-advocacy-3726891
  13. Most people knew this already so it's not a shock. The IOC now need to change their policy and declare that Khelif is a male!
  14. " 'Inflation is raging in the US.".......YOU HAVE A LINK???? Gas prices are down, egg prices are down? Well we wouldn't want to deny the facts?? Would we...??? https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/13/cpi-inflation-april-2025.html "The consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.3%, its lowest since February 2021." https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/13/economy/us-cpi-consumer-inflation-april
  15. Indeed and don't forget the US now has the lowest inflation in 4 years, at .2.3%
  16. Emirates’ contract of carriage, a legal agreement passengers consent to upon purchasing a ticket, includes provisions for refusing boarding to those deemed “inappropriately dressed.” While not specifying a detailed dress code, the airline reserves the right to deny boarding for clothing that is offensive, lewd, or disruptive to other passengers’ comfort. For example, attire with profane language or excessive exposure (e.g., minimal clothing like “gym mesh singlets” or “running shorts”) could be flagged, as noted in a 2017 FlyerTalk forum discussion.
  17. So stating facts is racism?
  18. You are missing the point??
  19. Don't you mean Sharia courts and mosques are increasing and should be BANNED?
  20. "No one innocent ever gets sent to jail in the UK, and police never falsify charges." Great sarcasm........
