The Erosion of Equality in British Justice Where Race Plays a Role
"In effect, these guidelines suggest that minority groups should receive more lenient treatment than white defendants, particularly white men. The provisions related to slavery and trafficking also open the door for legal arguments that could allow illegal immigrants to avoid prosecution altogether. " So it is not hidden anymore its out in the open a 2 tier justice system. So not only has free speech disappeared in the UK, actual justice itself is disappearing. So the statue on the 'Old Bailey' will be torn down, no doubt Lady Justice. a symbolic figure rooted in ancient mythology, representing fairness and impartiality in the legal system. The scales she holds—usually balanced—stand for weighing evidence objectively, without tipping toward bias or favor. She’s typically blindfolded too, showing justice should be blind to wealth, race, or status, though older versions sometimes skip the blindfold. -

She has started asking for money
When I met my wife in a bar, in Phuket 2 decades ago, we spent 10 nights together, when I was leaving, I told her I was coming back in 6 weeks and said maybe we can catch up, she then asked if I wanted her to go back to the village to wait for me, I said sure, but if you need to make money, it was ok by me, for her to stay, she said, no, I don't like this work, I will go back to the village, if you promise to come back in 6 weeks, I said, promise and I did. When I left, I gave her 10k baht as she didn't ask me for any money, apart from me paying for her the first night that I met her, which was 2k + the bar fine of 300 baht. On top of that, I did pay the bar fine for every night to the bar owner, that way he couldn't complain, it was 300 baht a night of which she would get half of. Some nights we would go to the bar, have a couple of drinks, which she would get half of, and leave, therefore keeping her boss on side, i.e. she has a customer who is paying the bar fine and buying some drinks. We kept in touch when I went home, I discussed the situation about her coming back to my country for a few months for a holiday and to hang out with me if she felt comfortable with that, and she said that would be a whole new experience for her as she hasn't been out of Thailand before, so I sent her some money to get a passport organized while I looked into the visa side of things, I also sent her some money to catch a flight to Bangkok to meet me as that was were she had to apply for her visa do police checks. We spent a couple of nights there and then went to the village for a couple of nights to meet her family, then off to Phuket to holiday for a week, and wait for the call to pick up the visa, then fly out up to Bangkok, then to my home country. We married before her visa expired and she was given a bridging visa to stay for 2 years, until she was approved as a resident, then another 2 years a Citizen, we travelled back to Thailand once, twice a year for 4-8 weeks as I was a contractor and could take time off when I wanted to and was on a good wicket. I have now lived in Thailand for a decade, in a house I built her, no regrets when I rolled the dice with this one, as she is a keeper. My advice to you is, go with your guy and roll the dice, but do set boundaries and traps along the way, as you will soon find out what kind of creature you have met. Good luck, sometimes it does work out. -

Musk: Kiss Your Social Security Goodbye, Grandma!
I hope you are right. "supposedly, they're finding so much waste, fraud, and abuse" Yeah, like "it's a well-known fact" but no actual instances of waste, fraud, and abuse documented. -
