Human, dog, horse, and flamingo comparison for those who are not aware.

He’s of Punjabi descent rather than black.

Hadn’t actually thought about this but it’s a good point, they are varying the T&Cs with no consideration here.

Man I use mine all the time, I have just dance, fitness boxing and ring fit adventure.

So much easier to get up and do some sort of physical activity when it’s a game not a task.

*mario kart is the game that sits on the shelf gathering dust until the nieces come over.

Et tu dois vouvoyer si le sujet n’est pas ton ami.

Oyster crackers is a pretty good shout actually

Can’t argue there, but I do recommend a train ticket app for e-tickets

Why would you get a ticket for the tube/bus/overground? You can now pay with any contactless card or apple/android pay.

A parliament has a maximum term of 5 years. Any change to the date of the next election will have a direct impact on the latest date of the next election.

Depends on whether or not there is a snap election this year…

The whole settlement scheme has been a disaster. uKVI has historically been a truly terrible organisation. I personally have been given false information from them on more than one occasion so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Why is extraordinarily ridiculous though, is why someone from the EU that already had permanent residency wouldn’t just have that acknowledged or have automatically moved onto the new scheme. UKVI will already have her details on file electronically with biometric enrolment data.

Anything to make peoples lives miserable, in yet another clear implementation of government policy. The cruelty is the point.

Pretty sure the Cuban population tends to vote republican because of the press about democrats being socialist wannabes or whatever.

Didn’t Obama loosen restrictions on Cuba and the Trump put it back to how it was before?

Having no mechanism and being specifically legislated against are two different things. Brexit is the former, this sounds like the latter.

True, although paying in upfront doesn’t exempt immigrants from also paying the relevant taxes that cover healthcare, no double taxation protections here.

So much cheaper than the UK.

It’s something like £2k ($2,500) for the fees (for 2.5-3years, depending on visa type), plus a buy in for NHS services, approximately £1k/year ($1,300 x 2.5-3) for the length of your visa.

6 years to become a citizen, if you’re not married to a Brit, or 5 if you are.

It is in excess of £10k over the 5-6 years to get to the point of permanent residence (£2,300) which you can then follow up with citizenship (£1,580).

How weird to see where I went to school on the news in this way and yet rather unsurprising given the culture in the area.
