Customers being frozen out of their bank accounts for political views is a very worrying trend ...
by LoveUniHateExams inyeah, so i know nigel farage is a bit of an abrasive twat.. he no doubt holds views that other people disagree with.. but that doesn't mean his bank can just tell him to sod off and freeze his accounts.. such a thing might go on in commie china or authoritarian russia.
no doubt hitler closed lots of jewish people's accounts in nazi germany, too.. but the fact that it is happening here, in the yew-kay, is pretty chilling when you consider this country is supposed to champion freedoms, including the one to hold and express varying political views.. this seems to be part of a trend to delegitimise and cancel people who hold certain views.. i remember looking at a yt video of richard dawkins questioning muslim journalist mehdi hassan about his belief in flying horses and muhammad.
all fair analysis and criticism by dawkins until he suggested that hassan shouldn't be a journalist because of his beliefs.

THIS /\ /\ /\Another unbeleivably worrying thing is that the only reason the bank was pulled up about this is that WE THE TAXPAYERS are the major shareholders, having bailed them out post 2008!! Im not sure they would have been so compliant had we not been. As it is Davies has retained his position. -

I wonder whatever became of the JW 'don't masturbate' guy?
by SydBarrett inthis guy: how embarrassing.it's also sad that when it was being filmed, no one thought to tell him "you don't have to over do it..they'll get the point.."now he lives forever in internet infamy.

Lloyd stated somewhere that the translation costs were βeye-watering"
Having something translated by a court translator/sworn translator/ notorized etc(various terms, I don't think there's a universally accepted one)is pretty expensive.
But how can you live somewhere/be married to a native speaker almost twenty years and still need a translator?? I don't think Lloyd is as smart as he thinks he isπ€

The lawyer said she could probably pull documents with a limited power of attorney from one of the defendants and do a basic translation.

NB Put me down for - 20 because Lloyd never does anything under 20 π
Edit: oooh my best friend already did -20βΊοΈ so I'll do -20 + -20 = - 40 please, Toblerone5

Journeyman The point is, even if Alex did fail to show before, our friend with the sunny disposition goes on one of his usual abrasive, nit-picky and self-righteous rants at him. Looks like Alex was unaware what a tiresome and awkward PITA he can be to deal with, especially if you dare not to do everything exactly as he wants it and bow at the altar of Cedars.
What an odious little man (well, small minded if not exactly small!).
Someone tell that lad the unemployable git hasn't got an 'assistant' but a wife-slave. He hasn't got a 'work life balance' but lives one long vacation. And not to allow himself to be used for monetized content by the greedy so and so. He can't find guests which is why he wanted to 'jump on' straight away.
Imagine someone is going to literally earn your wages for you, but you tell them you'll get back to them 'in your own sweet time'.π‘
There's plenty of you tuber's he can debate, most far nicer than Cedars and will at least understand when a person has work commitments!!!!
Edit: If 'his team' was required to waste so much 'time and resources' to organise that debate (for which, from what I can gather, there wasn't a specific 'time' exactly anyway), how come he's able to just 'jump in' without any preparation this time???
I would also insist the debate was a livestream if I were Alex, because he'll edit it to his advantage afterward, too.

My report from the "trying my patience" DC
by nowwhat? inembedded in the cleveland ohio convention.
pre covid attendance was always 7k+ this year 4500.. 37baptised mixed bag.
less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!

Also the drama was about the brothers in Africa having to flee their home and country by listening to the direction from the branch. Jehovah saved them by sending them to a U.N. refugee camp!
So the UN comes in handy for some things, then?π€ͺ

R & R Since the bus arrived around 9 a.m. each morning in Milwaukee, all seats that were shaded/partly shaded or had a cover from the blazing sun in the middle of July were all taken. We had no choice but to sit on the outfield seats ( which were in full sun, all day long). Imagine sitting in the blazing sun all day long with a jacket/ tie or mothers having to take care of small children in the oppressive heat. Talk about sunstroke!
Ruddy Nora can you imagine all the poor sods who probably developed melanomas back then?!π³

Just shows to me that people living six decades ago were a much hardier stock than the wimps today.
Holy Hell. It sounds like something out of a nightmare.
Well I must be a real oddball then, because it looks like my idea of heaven!π Never happier than taking my scouts off camping for a week...oggie oggie oggie π.. .. .. !
Went to Twickers but living in Bedford we were near enough to drive down daily.
