South African/Irish girl loving life in London 🇿🇦🇬🇧🇮🇪 I believe a society is defined by how it treats its most vulnerable, simple. Be careful out there
@HelpMeTomCruz@MrEvanRoss@Delta Italy is really good for dining with allergies, it’s one of the best places in the world for gluten-free food. She’ll have plenty of options over there
@jasonbraun@MrEvanRoss@Delta Italy is one of the best countries in the world for gluten-free dining ���🏻♀️ They are really good at catering for allergies. Look it up
@reallytangerine@BecauseCulture In the UK if a train is delayed more than 15 mins (a few train companies say 30 mins) then you receive a partial refund which increases with the length of the delay. I’ve had a full refund before for a service I travelled on that was delayed more than an hour
@Berlinworlds@BecauseCulture The EU has had these rules requiring compensating for over 20 years, and flights are still much cheaper than in the US 🤷🏻♀️
@MaxRovensky What was the queue like leaving Porto again? We’re flying next week and our flight back from Porto is at 7am, so trying to figure out how early we need to be there. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks
@GraemeVIP@CPhilpOfficial Except that this is annual event and also happened each of the years when “this MP” was Minister of State for Crime, Policing and Fire 🤷🏻♀️
@Adejibo@ovaroy91@ukhomeoffice So you’re saying that other than the most common visa type which isn’t sponsored, most people are sponsored 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ There are also family visas, ancestry visas, etc.
@Adejibo@ovaroy91@ukhomeoffice Nobody mentioned skilled worker visas though. Those aren’t the only work visas around. Obviously if on a skilled worker visa then you’re sponsored, plenty of people are working on non-sponsored visas.
@ovaroy91@ukhomeoffice You can qualify for some jobseekers payments even if on a visa with no recourse to public funds, not everything is classed as a public fund for immigration. The payments you’d be eligible for would be based on contributions. Universal credit is classed as a public fund though.
@Jaggerr@Leon_Schreib The UK already has VFS, passports take 8 weeks for most people (some have been as quick as 4 weeks). VFS was originally announced as a pilot to then be rolled out in other countries if it was successful in the UK. I’m not sure whether this is what’s been rolled out elsewhere now
@AB75HM@Leon_Schreib The UK already uses VFS for SA passports, most only take 8 weeks (some have been as quick as 4 weeks). VFS was originally announced as a trial in the UK which would then be rolled out to other countries, not sure if that’s what this is now
@imageplotter Book any ticket with national rail (even something really cheap between two stations close to each other) and you can get 2 for 1 entry to many of the sights in London including St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey 👍🏼
@sainsburys Still no sign of @sainsburys order that due yesterday. I was assured it would arrive yesterday, it didn’t. Called again and was told I’d receive a text update - never came. Contacted on twitter and was told the store was closed and I’d be updated in the morning - nothing. Livid.
@sainsburys my order is over 2 hours late, I know the weather is bad but I’m just looking for some kind of estimate for when it might arrive. I’ve called twice and got no info. Second time calling I was told I’d get a text message with an update, that was half an hour ago 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@sojulida@DefendYourHill@SergeantAqGo A lot of countries have ways to revoke citizenships. Just a few that come to mind are Ireland, South Africa, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, etc. You cant make someone stateless, that’s against international law. Revoking citizenship for no reason like Trump wants though, yeesh
