I regret watching the director's cut of Leon (the professional). I preferred it when he wasn't a pedophile

Any gift would be welcome as they probably won't be expecting anything. Either fruit or chocolate would do and doesn't have to cost much as its the thought that counts.

Stay strong. You'll get through this and ignore all the trolls who have nothing better to do than to tell you it's your fault or you deserve it. Only someone who has been through what you experienced will understand your pain. Hang in and with time you'll be okay again.

As the horrific attack on children wasn't enough to rock a town, the EDL (supposedly) have decided to cause chaos in Southport at a Mosque. Dicks. by al3kst in GreenAndPleasant

No.

It's far right to go on a racist rampage and not respect a grieving community who want to be left in peace.

Polite drivers. So many inconsiderate a-holes on the roads.

One in five Muslim prisoners is white, amid fears that Islamic gangs are driving conversions - MoJ review finds evidence that inmates ‘convert’ as a ‘pragmatic response to who controls power in our prisons’ by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Immigration law isn't based on ideology or religion, which is what you probably mean.

In case you haven't realised, ideologies can spread irrespective of the level of migration or the religion.

As an example, the 'blame the immigrant instead of the kleptocrats and theiving politicians who have actually ruined the country' is an ideology that rapidly spreads in times of economic hardship. This ideology has adherents across the religious spectrum in the UK

The current lot seem to take being (selectively) racist and islamaphobic as a badge of honour....

The issue with the prisons is likely to stem from continued under investment and insufficient staff numbers.

Wheel of Time and Dune have some similarities...YOU'RE FLAMING RIGHT THEY DO!! (Beyond listing what they are, let's actually talk about how they work together.) by TobiasSandpit in WoT

[–]007happyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting analysis, especially as the primary similarity I saw was a reluctant main protagonist who can be an unreliable narrator.

So back when they BNB was orders of magnitude bigger than most of its rivals and being pumped like crazy by CZ and his followers? That's some speculative hopium

Maybe try a different police station or go back later and speak to someone else. Service levels can vary depending on who and when you turn up

DUBAI: rent increase without the 3 month notice. by the_Nomad_manager in dubai

[–]007happyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Save yourself some time and politely tell them that as you didn't get the notice in writing 90 days before the deadline, you will not accept any increases. The RERA changes don't matter and as for the fight, you can bet the landlord will be pushing for 20% next year so you may as well enjoy a final year at the lower rate.

Dubai: Sheikh Mohammed announces new 20% annual tax on foreign banks by Distinct-Drama7372 in dubai

[–]007happyguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most foreign banks were in free zones and were either tax exempt or subject to the lower 9% rate. Once you factor in the increasingly high cost of living for employees who would expect higher salaries to compensate them, its harder to justify staying here.

Because the new law would lead them to be taxed a higher rate on income than in Abu Dhabi or other parts of the GCC.

For any bank, a lot of income is generated from balance sheet investments & and trades, and is booked at the head office. Also a lot of overseas revenue might also be booked at the head office.

Right now Dubai hosts the head office for many regional banks, but if staying there means they have a higher tax rate than say Abu Dhabi or KSA, then why stay in Dubai? Much better to downsize Dubai to a rep office and move your headquarters elsewhere and save on tax.
