@Telegraph An extra £55k supposedly 'missed out' for someone who already receives guaranteed practically-free adult social care (in addition to healthcare) in most Provinces of Canada, why?
@Metanoeticost@Wild_Horse@KMPentagon As it is said over here in England, "Kids scream in the park, shocker!!!"
"My hope is for cooler heads to prevail. True power can be good and it can be evil." Get over yourself, love!
@ladygreenkirtle@arsenalfcgunn32 Not for UKVI. Nationals of Iceland, India (Tamil Nadu), Sri Lanka (Tamils), Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia (Malays), Indonesia, Brunei and Mongolia don't have surnames, or are not addressed by surnames. Would cause more problems than it supposedly solves.
@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat But we are talking about hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money (at a minimum), no? What if THE COURTS were to rule that contributions in lieu of interest unlawful (ultra vires)? Wouldn't that automatically write off the interest-equivalent part?
@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat 11 Aug 1991 — In 1984 BCCI set up an Islamic Banking Unit in London to solicit deposits from Islamic investors. https://t.co/dCs87dQa3L
@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat And that is the reason why BCCI (founded Karachi, 1972) failed. What you are describing is called a convoluted Ponzi scheme to defraud the taxpayer, wrapped around (supposed) Islamic terminology to pretend something (allegedly) 'haram' is suddenly 'halal'. https://t.co/CYVyMssAX5
@R34Hmzy@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat Definitely not legal advice. The Government in Britain can't just do something and it is automatically legal. Maybe where you originally from, it is?! https://t.co/Qlz2soBDRz
@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat Are the money for the Student Loans funded by the taxpayer or not? If yes, then in a democracy 🗳️ and not a theocracy ⛪🕍🕌, it is up to the Government to explain and justify THEIR policies and actions, and not us individuals to 'look up'.
@redheadlass1402@BasilTheGreat "Will be equivalent" is nonsense. It is either exactly identical or it can open the Government (i.e., the taxpayers) to (expensive) legal challenges under the Equality Act 2010. You as a socialist cannot possibly defend this surely?!
@Dumbtwitxoxo@attackdogX Then when would a given year's Diwali fall, legally, according to US law? Both the Senate and the House of Representatives would have to issue Proclamations (this is certainly how the dates of Easter works in Great Britain), and the White House an Executive Order as well.
@kenbone18 The exact same thing with Easter, you simply can't legislate for a holiday which literally occurs on different dates according to the (Gregorian) calendar, in use in the Colonies for some 26 years (1750) before the Declaration of Independence of 1776?!
@Shannon79053723@broadwaybabyto Unless both the judge and the jury are all female with no sons, I honestly can't see how Mr MW can be realistically convicted on Modern Slavery charges based on things happened (from the BBC) "in the late 1990s and early 2000s".
@Shannon79053723@broadwaybabyto Different countries have different definitions of jurisdiction. What the US Courts do are more often than not not recognised by the British Courts. https://t.co/Uuk8YOc1FK
@Shannon79053723@broadwaybabyto But we don't have retrospective criminal offences in a serious country operating under the rule of law? https://t.co/gVXOyPdDrQ
@Shannon79053723@broadwaybabyto Because no self-respecting British citizen would accept the jurisdiction of the US Congress or the US Courts, federal or state, on his actions and activities on British soil? A Chinese national definitely wouldn't/can't, for things that went on exclusively in China? Jurisdiction?
@DenethorChud@1Brown_Charlie@Gravantus You can't have a US Federal holiday based on what another country's government proclaims, every year? The last time that happened in America, it was 1750?! https://t.co/hEIb51Pq6x
@Shannon79053723@broadwaybabyto The operative word in 'sexual exploitation' is the word 'exploitation'. To convict, would require violence, threats or coercion from Andrew himself or someone acting on his orders, behalf, instructions or behest. Rather difficult, from one of the Royals, no less?
