As kramer points out, this is the total number of immigrants and is no indication of illegal immigration.
I don't care if they are legal or illegal immigrants. I just don't want the UK population to keep expanding. We have an NHS system that is unable to cope, we have traffic congestion, power shortages, lack of dentists, the list goes on. Whenever I see crime reports I notice that the names of the criminals are usually unpronounceable!!

What turned you off at 30 second mark, the exuberance of the choir or the lyrics?
Yes, it was the exuberance of the choir. It just reminded me of an old Kenny Everett sketch which was a parody of Baptist choirs.
No offence intended whatever.

No. I didn't quite manage the 30 second mark but thank God we don't have this in our KH.
Probably goes down better in certain Baptist churches in the US.

well well am3 made it to norweigian media with hsi rant about religouse persecution.. hereis the link.. share your thoughts.. ble nektet statstøtte: jehovas vitner vurderer juridiske skritt – vårt land (vl.no) .
Yes it's always been that way in the UK. I think now the registrar observes the ceremony and then ensures the couple & witnesses sign the wedding registry.
Not any more, a local brother is appointed as the registrar and completes the register. There are certain administrative requirements such as the registration documents need to be kept in a safe, the "special ink" is used (£15 small bottle) but it has been that way in the UK for many years. I have been married over 50 years and it was that way even then.

They would miss having the right to perform weddings, I imagine...?
I doubt it. This is how it used to be in the UK years ago. The wedding was conducted at the KH and then the couple went to the Registrar's Office for the legal part, or as often happened at our KH, the Registrar came along to the KH, sat through the service and then did the signing of the register. We always had the same Registrar, she was a very pleasant lady and attended many JW marriages. She appears on many of our KH wedding photos, the only thing she insisted was that the register was covered for the photos.

whatever happened to the Rwanda option?
That was a crazy idea from the outset. These illegal immigrants arriving on our shores should be met by the Royal Navy on approaching British waters and turned around and sent South back to France. France is not a war torn country, they are perfectly safe there. France is doing all it can to expedite their travel to the UK. Each of these half million we have inherited this year is just one less problem for France. As Anne Widdicombe said "France is not our friend and never has been!"

ONS reported we have over 500,000 illegal immigrants here this year in the UK.
Who would have ever thought this would have an effect on hospital waiting lists, dentist availability, ambulance response times, crime levels........

here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .
1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.
2. no going to home coming football games.
Probably only relevant to the UK, you cannot buy Premium Bonds.
In a previous congregation there was quite a dispute over this and the elders had someone write to HQ for clarification. The answer came back that Premium Bonds are not for "Christians" because, although the capital cannot be lost you are gambling with the interest on the bonds.
For an organisation that has probably lost millions of donated funds in poor investments that sounds like double standards to me.
