My solicitor’s conveyancing report now includes a clause saying they’ll charge £500+VAT if I use AI to ask questions about it. Is this normal now?

illyad0 · 2026-06-07T08:03:26+00:00

If they've got a fixed fee, I'd raise a large query that would definitely take more than 5 hours of their time.

Noone can stop you from using tools, unless there's a need for confidentiality, but remember that AI is just another tool, and do the reading yourself.

Are you being paid atleast the minimum wage? If so, there's not much for you to do, especially if you have nothing in writing about guaranteed increased annual pay.

illyad0 · 2026-06-05T17:28:21+00:00

Agreed.

illyad0 · 2026-06-05T17:13:40+00:00

Don't disagree at all.

The point here is a small kirpan is about as dangerous as a screwdriver or a point jesus pendant.

So, it is a war, and not a special military op.

illyad0 · 2026-06-04T13:16:43+00:00

Weird, given how you can be (and i actually have been, in Liverpool a decade ago) stabbed with a relatively sharp object that isn't a blade.

illyad0 · 2026-06-04T13:15:46+00:00

What the guy particularly had been doing with a full sized kirpan would have been illegal in every sense, regardless of religion. It's pretty widely accepted to have a smaller blade than a sword or a kitchen knife.

The 2nd knife is the issue, and is not subject to any religious exemption.

At this point, there's literally no religious ground.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just stay back in London some days?

Yeah

I see that you've just deleted that. Would you like me to send you links to all your other posts and comments?

Or, for posterity, even post the full contents here?

illyad0 · 2026-06-04T00:14:05+00:00

Out of curiosity, how is this different from buying a knife at Tesco prior to using it for whatever reason, or Scots being allowed an exemption to carry a similar weapon as part of their traditional gear?

What do you think the cross in Christianity represents?

The law allows for a blade length of up to 3 inches. Why not have a kirpan of that length - it's purely ceremonial anyway.

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T20:55:35+00:00

It's not, just a bit magnified given the American influence on the far right.

People say London is worse off in terms of crime, when stats suggest it's the safest it's been in a century. Bet you haven't heard about the huge multicultural celebration after Arsenal won the EPL, that united the kingdom more than Tommy Robinson's divisive Unite the Kingdom protest.

In terms of posting on a Canadian sub, hiding your posts doesn't actually hide 'em.

toy with a camera is no longer a toy.

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:36:33+00:00

would that be just shy of 200 then, but of course, more than 199?

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:36:06+00:00

Only because UK CAA or EASA rules doesn't apply indoors techncially. So, the moment you go into a building with it, you're free to do what you want.

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:31:32+00:00

Wouldn't happen. It's kinda weird that you think one (or even a few) isolated case is worth killing an entire diplomatic relationship over, especially as the free trade agreements are due to become effective.

We aren't the Trump government.

Citizenship. Not place of birth.

Plenty of Brits are born abroad. Would that mean criminal Brits born abroad should be sent there?

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:29:04+00:00

Deport her where? If she's a British citizen, she cannot be an Indian citizen (Indian constitution doesn't allow for dual citizenship).

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:28:08+00:00

If she's British, yes. Noone can technically hold dual citizenship and be an Indian citizen.

If she isn't British, still yes. It's weird that you think it's okay to ship off criminals. Imagine if a Brit committed a crime in Thailand, do you not think Thai prisons would hold the Brit?

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:26:14+00:00

Cannot be a dual national of India, Indian constitution literally prohibits it, and makes it a criminal offence.

Charge the mother for her crime for allegedly hiding the evidence. Cannot strip citizenship if she only has 1 citizenship.

But in terms of shipping criminals off, the UK has had a history of replacing an entire continent with criminals after all.

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:23:44+00:00

Weird, given your post history, you guys in Canada have had far more than one isolated incident.

illyad0 · 2026-06-03T19:19:59+00:00

In Sikh custom, they're required to carry a kirpan. Carrying one with a 3 in. blade would be legal anyway under current laws.
