Losing out with on-line TM47 applications
I think you're confused 😞 You can file a 90 day report in person from 2 weeks before the due date down until 1 week AFTER the due date. <- Going to file a 90 day report 7 days late doesn't get a fine, The 2000baht fine starts on the 8th day 😉 He goes exactly one week late each time to get that "free month" after a year of re-porting.. -

UN Judge & Former Columbia Human Rights Fellow Convicted of Human Trafficking & Forced Labor
A United Nations judge was found guilty on Thursday of trafficking a young woman to the United Kingdom and subjecting her to forced labor. Lydia Mugambe, a 49-year-old Ugandan judge, "exploited and abused" the victim, prosecutors argued, forcing her to work as an unpaid maid and caregiver while preventing her from seeking legal employment. A jury convicted Mugambe of multiple charges, including facilitating illegal immigration, forced labor, and witness intimidation, as reported by the Independent. Thames Valley Police @ThamesVP Lydia Mugambe, a UN & Ugandan judge, has today been convicted of bringing a woman into the country illegally & then forcing her to work as a slave. Mugambe tried to evade justice by claiming she had diplomatic immunity, which has now been removed Despite being under police scrutiny, Mugambe was appointed in May 2023 as a judge on the U.N. International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. This appointment came three months after law enforcement had been called to her residence in Oxfordshire. At the time, Mugambe was pursuing a Ph.D. in law at Oxford University. The prosecution argued that Mugambe conspired with Ugandan diplomat John Leonard Mugerwa in a deceptive arrangement. Mugerwa allegedly facilitated the victim’s entry into the UK under false pretenses with the help of the Ugandan embassy, while Mugambe sought to use her influence to sway a judge overseeing a case involving Mugerwa. Mugambe denied all allegations, maintaining that she had treated the victim with "love, care, and patience," according to the BBC. Her reaction at the time of her arrest was captured in footage released by Thames Valley Police. When confronted in the kitchen of her home in Kidlington, Mugambe gasped and insisted the victim had willingly asked to work for her. "I even have immunity. I am not a criminal," she protested, before shifting blame onto the victim, whom she had deceived into traveling to Britain and then subjected to forced labor. At Oxford Crown Court, the jury found Mugambe guilty of conspiring to breach UK immigration laws, compelling forced labor, and conspiring to intimidate a witness. A majority guilty verdict was also delivered on an additional charge of arranging or facilitating travel for the purpose of exploitation. During the trial, Prosecutor Caroline Haughey KC condemned Mugambe’s actions, stating, "Lydia Mugambe has exploited and abused (her alleged victim), taking advantage of her lack of understanding of her rights to properly paid employment and deceiving her as to the purpose of her coming to the UK." Mugambe now faces sentencing, marking a significant fall from grace for a judge once regarded as a champion of human rights. Based on a report by Daily Mail | Independent 2025-03-15 -

UK Economy Contracts Unexpectedly in January, Dealing Blow to Growth Plans
The UK economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.1% in January, with a slowdown in manufacturing playing a significant role in the decline. The latest figures mark a disappointing start to the year, particularly after December’s stronger-than-expected 0.4% growth. The weaker-than-anticipated performance is likely to be seen as a setback for the government, which has emphasized economic growth as its primary objective. The figures arrive just ahead of the Chancellor's Spring Statement, where government spending cuts are expected to be a key feature. The decline occurred in the same month that the Chancellor delivered a major speech outlining her vision for economic growth, including her support for the expansion of Heathrow Airport. However, despite these ambitions, businesses braced for the financial impact of upcoming employment policy changes included in Ms. Reeves’s Budget. In October, the Chancellor announced that employer contributions to National Insurance and the minimum wage would both increase in April, adding pressure on businesses already dealing with economic uncertainty. ONS director of economic statistics Liz McKeown commented on the decline, stating, “The fall in January was driven by a notable slowdown in manufacturing, with oil and gas extraction and construction also having weak months. However, services continued to grow in January, led by a strong month for retail, especially food stores, as people ate and drank at home more.” The data paints a complex picture of the UK economy, with growth in services unable to offset declines in key sectors. With economic policy changes on the horizon and spending cuts looming, the coming months will be critical in determining whether the UK can regain its growth momentum.
