Britain Today

[Ninurta]

Ninurta-- I live as a resident in another country.  Oddly, I gained my residence through completely legal means and I practice the very odd habit of respecting the cultural norms of the country in which I live.  Our neighbors have no issues with me, imagine that.

Exactly! My Dear Old Dad taught me how to get along with "furriners", and it's really easy - you just have to respect their customs and cultural norms, and not generally be an asshole to them. He was in Germany after WWII, and the Germans all loved him where they generally disliked the other American soldiers. The difference being that most of the other soldiers were the typical "Ugly Americans", always trying to make the Germans conform to American cultural norms, and being assholes about it. Dad wasn't that way. Instead, he conformed to German norms, and was friendly to them rather than assholish.

It paid off for him at times. The Germans loved him so much that he could go AWOL, and they'd hide him from the MPs in their attics... and toss up a bottle of schnapps every now and then.

I took those lessons to heart, and they've paid off for me as well. I can get along with anyone who wants to be gotten along with. I've been told I could get along with Satan himself, although I've never tried that. I can be at home anywhere, from the ghetto (yes, I've lived in ghettos, even though I'm pretty much a white boy no one ever bothered me much) right up to hanging out with the rich folks. Same with hanging out in foreign nations. Be someone they can identify with, and you'll be accepted.

It all starts with just trying to understand their culture and conform to it rather than expecting them to conform to you. Learn the local language, that sort of thing.

There used to be a saying - "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

On the back of my earlier post...

Proof UK cares more about asylum seekers than its own citizens?
Shock figures show councils are housing up to 10 times more asylum seekers than
homeless people

'Seventeen councils are accommodating up to 10 times more asylum seekers than homeless people,
analysis suggests. The biggest disparity was seemingly in Pendle, a borough inside Reform's newly
-gained Lancashire authority.

Latest Government data shows 453 asylum seekers are being housed in Pendle. In contrast, only nine
homeless households are in temporary accommodation. Critics of Britain's immigration policy have
seized upon the figures as proof we are ran by people who 'care more about illegal migrants than its
own citizens'...'

That may explain this image from the same article.

Reminds me of that scene from the movie "Captain Phillips" with Tom Hanks where the Somali pirate says, look at me, "I am the Captain now.

Hope for GB in the end.

...Of course, I could be reading this all wrong.
Nah.

Men delivering TV unit sexually assaulted, girl, 14


Sadnam Singh and Navjot Singh.

'Two delivery men who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl who was home alone leaving
her "crying hysterically" have been jailed. It happened in Preston, Lancashire, when Sadnam
Singh, 28, and Navjot Singh, 26, were delivering a television unit which the girl's mother had
bought from an online auction site.

Sadnam Singh pinned her against the wall and assaulted her while Navjot Singh watched and
laughed before he also attacked her, Lancashire Police said. The men, from Wolverhampton,
were found guilty of sexual assault following a trial at Preston Crown Court and each was
sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.

The teenager had answered the door while her mother was at work before the men entered and
launched their attack.

'Horrible assault'
After they left, the girl locked the front door and "immediately phoned her mother, crying hysterically
as she told her what had happened". An investigation was launched and both men were arrested the
same morning in Preston. Det Con Ben Clegg said the victim was "assaulted in a place where she
should have felt safe - her own home". He added: "This was a horrible assault on a teenager and I
welcome the sentence imposed by the judge."...'

"In a place where she should have felt safe..." A classic quote of those who still don't understand they're
being conquered.

Reanne Coulson, 34, went missing in May and concerns were raised by her family after she failed to make contact with them on her birthday on 17 June.

Officers searching for Ms Coulson found a body in Binley Woods on Friday afternoon, West Midlands Police said.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but the family of Ms Coulson have been informed, officers added.

Mohammed Durnion was arrested as part of the investigation into her disappearance. The 42-year-old has now been charged with murder.

Gortex - How can they charge someone with Murder before they even ID the body?

I'm all for throwing murderers in jail, but stuff like this makes me wonder.

I'm all for throwing murderers in jail, but stuff like this makes me wonder.

They haven't formally identified the body but they must have evidence either , DNA , clothing or other to make them believe it is the body of Reanne Coulson for them tell inform her family , as Durnion was arrested before the body was found there must be evidence that he could be linked to the disappearance so perhaps when faced with the evidence against him he told them where the body was hidden. 

I guess more will be known when Durnion appears in court.
