Hello, happy Friday ☺️

I followed it last night, there was also a separate riot in Whitechapel, East London.

It's an own goal by these communities because their vandalism and violence only serve to bolster the assertions of those on the right that multiculturalism has failed/isn't working very well.

In addition to the reputational damage, there is also the potential economic impact. Areas with predominantly immigrant and ethnic populations tend to be among the most deprived in the country - with a few exceptions such as Jewish communities e.g in North London. These types of incidents will discourage investment, jobs and regeneration; the area will deteriorate further and it then becomes a vicious cycle of violence, economic deprivation and class/racial tension. An example is Croydon which has been in steady decline since the riots in 2011. This is how slums and no-go areas, like in parts of France and Belgium, get created.

Yeah possibly. But what could have sparked such a reaction? Possibly the social workers didn't follow due process or were high-handed.

And burning a bus and throwing stones at the police is due process? I very much doubt that the rioters know or care what due process is. In fact it is more likely that the majority do not know the family involved or the full facts of the case, and just saw an opportunity to create chaos and attack the authorities.

He has been terminated yesterday and my manager told me the reason which he didn’t tell me earlier. He slagged me to some colleagues at work using offensive words like C*** etc and those one reported to HR which is automatic termination according to HR policy. I was even pitying him before I was told his offence and I let him leave with some IT peripherals I purchased for him. He did send me a text this morning apologising. We are out looking for a replacement.

It’s better, however, there’s a take away here “never be too close or relax to share everything with colleagues “ the guy was snitch by a colleague he prolly see as a friend.

Abeg which role maybe I fit give referral because I have a friend looking for opportunity in IT

Actually the real lesson there is to always behave well, not back bite or use slurs at your place of work.

Did the Crowdstrike/Microsoft Outage affect anyone in here. Grateful it was minimal for us but I read that Airports, Hospitals, and many organisations most especially in Australia were crippled.

That area of Leeds is always a flashpoint, i used to work in business centre as a student close to where the riot happened, fighting and killing is common in that area, in that business centre we have CCTV camera positioned around the building and car park and police was always coming to view camera to collect evidence, sometimes they will take up a room with a good view so as to collect intel.

Definitely not a good area to live or do business, run down houses, drug dealing very rampant, police siren almost every day etc

Definitely not. Just surprised that such deep resentment could be harboured and vented like that, and there'll be consequences definitely.

Thanks for this. Is there any issue with me spreading my payments across 12 months as against 10 months communicated in annual statements sent to me before April 2024. Is this enough ground for additional liability being recorded for me?

You can only pay 12 monthly if you set up a direct debit. You cannot choose to do this yourself hence why it shows you're in debt because it is not pre-arranged. Whatever you do, DO NOT ignore the court summons and pay by direct debit instead, easier for you because any missed council payment is court palava.

Saw this very interesting video about the MAGA base's reaction to Trump's VP pick having an Indian wife -

Should be especially interesting for those of you who support Reform/Trump, and a reminder about what the core of those movements really represent and think of you.

You need to read what they think of Amber Rose after she addressed the RNC convention, i mean Amber Rose speaking on republican convention shows what a joke that political party is. Amber Rose is the opposite of everything republican party stands.

They thought she identifies with black community hence the invitation but they never did any research about that porn star before inviting her

Yet despite her Indian heritage, they still endorsed Vance and his wife to become the Second Family out of numerous other candidates.

Nikki Haley came second in the republican hustings, beating the likes of DeSantis, and still carries a lot of sway in the Rep party - despite the fact she is Indian : born to Indian immigrants.

I'm definitely not saying they are spotless, but many people of BME origin who vote for Reform or Trump don't necessarily do so because they think they are bessies with black people, but because their policies align most closely with the priorities and values they consider most important to them, their children,community and the country they call home. Just like Evangelicals who vote for Trump despite his questionable personal moral record, but they reason that his policies are more in line with their Christian principles than the Democrats, so they hold their noses if need be and support him.

And the other parties are not squeaky clean on racial issues themselves when you look beneath the pleasant veneer. Labour under Starmer has been accused of prioritising antisemitism over antiblack racism,also evidenced by the party's treatment of Diane Abbot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/17/labour-accused-still-not-engaging-hierarchy-racism-claims

https://theconversation.com/racism-and-the-labour-party-investigation-after-investigation-feeds-an-endless-factional-loop-205954

Tories have had a worse reputation for racism than Labour, yet they've appointed more senior cabinet members of ethnic origin, including in all the 4 Great Offices of State, than the Labour party.

The Democrats have been accused of sidelining Harris in favour of white men who are far less qualified, aka Gavin Newsom. You'd also be surprised the number of women who don't support Harris simply because she's a woman herself. (Reverse sexism?)

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes in politics, it's not just black and white issues. Sometimes people put the persona, headlines and emotions aside and vote on raw policies.

I don't disagree with any of this.

I understand fully that people vote based on different factors and I'm not campaigning or arguing anyone should vote one way or another.

The point was to highlight, as I said, what the core of the MAGA movement thinks about non-white people, and I can confidently say "the core" because these people in that video are all ones that Trump himself had platformed on multiple occasions and continues to associate with. Labour has its issues, yes, but it's incomparable.

No other party has the same level of acceptability of open racism and antagonism of non-white people as in MAGA and Reform, and there have been multiple incidents that showcased that. If any person Labour affiliate said the things Nick F said (as an example), they'd be roundly denounced immediately, but with Trump you'll hear nothing, or at worst some 'both sides' umms and ahhs. This part is my opinion and I'm fine with anyone not agreeing.

Ultimately, I shared because I found it interesting and genuinely very amusing. I actually laughed out loud thinking about the cognitive dissonance many MAGAs must be facing now.

@Zahra29,AdvanceDNA,Justwise,hayesconcept and all elders..

I have a child 13 years ago with my then boyfriend. We later didn't end up together and have gone ahead to marry different people in our lives. I have additional 2 children in my marriage with my husband. I also have secured the sole custody of my child 4years ago where I am the sole responsible parent. Now I want my spouse and kids to come to join me here. I am on skilled worker visa. Please what documents do I need outside the sole custody document for my first child, and would I still need to get a consent letter from my then boyfriend.

In Leeds,A 7 month old infant fell from a 1st floor window and suffered severe head injuries. He/she are still in hospital

Of course at the hospital, Child safeguarding swung into action( they don't play) and visited the child's home. They found minors at home without any adult supervision. shocked

They called the police who can remove children without a court case under an Emergency Protection Order. The police successfully removed the children

The community was in the wrong here 100% . This is standard practice all over the UK. Do not leave minors without adult supervision

There will be a nice criminal neglect charge against the parents,too.
DONT DO THIS ,EVER

I didn't get this story before my comment. However I'm still surprised at the common resentment (and maybe blind unity) displayed by "neighbors?" against the police. If that family was black (UK citizen or not) I'm sure no other black family would attack the police that way. Eastern Europeans they are?

U dnt need consent letter again....U said u have sole custody letter from four years ago right?? He doesn't have an official joint say anymore on whatever u decide on ur child

If u submit consent letter, an Entry clearance office can use it against you that u have joint custody with your husband and only falsified the sole custody letter.....
