You will find that isn’t correct. I suspect that the specific amount you mention is more to do with an organisations internal policy. It is not mentioned in the Bribery Act itself. In the company I worked for the amount was limited to 15 Euros, and that even applied to lunch or dinner!
No, the UK Bribery Act (2010) does not specifically make gifts over £200 illegal. Instead, the act focuses on preventing bribery in both the public and private sectors, including through gifts, but it does not set a specific monetary threshold, such as £200, for when a gift becomes illegal. The legality of a gift under the Bribery Act depends on its intent and circumstances rather than the gift’s monetary value. Nevertheless, the question of whether gifts to a politician are legitimate or not will undoubtedly remain a highly contentious and debatable issue.
The question as to whether gifts made to Keir Starmer (or any political figure) breach the Bribery Act 2010 would depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the gifts, particularly the intent behind them and how they are handled. The key question is whether the gifts are intended to influence Starmer’s actions improperly, or if they are simply gifts or donations made for legitimate reasons, such as political support or goodwill, which is currently allowed (and even exempted for tax purposes). The whole area is likely to be increasingly contentious and questionable in the future.

Lord Waheed Alli was ennobled primarily due to his contributions to media, business, and politics. He was made a life peer in 1998 by then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, becoming Baron Alli of Norbury in the London Borough of Croydon. His ennoblement was part of a wider effort by the Labour Party to modernize the House of Lords and bring in diverse voices and perspectives.
Several key reasons contributed to his elevation:
Waheed Alli is a successful media entrepreneur, having co-founded media companies like Planet 24, which produced popular television shows such as "The Big Breakfast." His work in the media sector was influential in shaping modern British television.
Alli was and still is a known supporter of the Labour Party, and his ennoblement aligned with the party’s strategy to bring in younger, progressive, and diverse figures into the political sphere. He played a role in advising on policies, particularly those related to media, youth, and equality.
As one of the first openly gay peers in the House of Lords and a person of South Asian descent, Alli's ennoblement represented a commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity within British politics. He has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and played a key role in championing issues like civil partnerships and LGBTQ+ equality.
Lord Alli’s ennoblement was seen as both a recognition of his individual achievements and an effort to reflect the social diversity and progressive values within the UK's political landscape.

In the UK, there is no single, comprehensive law that explicitly protects freedom of speech in the same way that the First Amendment does in the United States. However, freedom of speech is a recognized and protected right under various legal frameworks:
1. Human Rights Act 1998: The Human Rights Act incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK law. Article 10 of the ECHR protects the right to freedom of expression, which includes the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority. However, this right is not absolute and can be subject to restrictions that are prescribed by law and necessary in a democratic society for reasons such as national security, public safety, or the prevention of disorder or crime.
2. Common Law: The UK also has a tradition of common law, where courts have recognized and protected free speech rights over time. However, these rights can be balanced against other legal principles, such as the laws on defamation, hate speech, or incitement to violence.
3. Specific Legislation: There are also various pieces of legislation that impact freedom of speech in the UK. For example, the Public Order Act 1986 and the Communications Act 2003 include provisions that criminalize certain forms of hate speech and offensive communications. The Defamation Act 2013 also allows individuals to seek legal recourse for false and damaging statements.
In summary, while freedom of speech is protected in the UK, it is subject to various legal restrictions and must be balanced against other competing rights and societal needs.

agree that your comment above is not racist. You statement regarding integration is interesting. While there certainly is a challenge of integration, the actual evidence relating to WILLINGNESS (not unwillingness) to integrate is very conclusive: This evidence spans various dimensions, including language acquisition, education, employment, social cohesion, and civic participation. Here are some key points:
1. Language Acquisition
- English Language Proficiency: A significant number of immigrants in the UK work to improve their English language skills. According to the UK government's Community Life Survey, many immigrants take English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes. These classes are often oversubscribed, indicating a strong demand from immigrants who wish to improve their language skills to better integrate into society.
2. Education and Professional Achievement
- Educational Attainment: Second-generation immigrants often outperform their parents and, in some cases, native-born students in educational achievement. For instance, students from immigrant backgrounds often excel in GCSEs and are more likely to pursue higher education.
- Professional Integration: Many immigrants actively pursue professional qualifications and accreditation recognized in the UK to improve their job prospects. For example, doctors, engineers, and other professionals who immigrate often go through requalification processes to practice in the UK.
3. Employment and Economic Contribution
- Labor Market Participation: Immigrants in the UK show a strong willingness to work and contribute economically. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has found that immigrants are often more willing to work in sectors experiencing labor shortages, such as healthcare, hospitality, and agriculture. This indicates their willingness to fill essential roles in the economy.
- Entrepreneurship: Immigrants are more likely to start businesses compared to the native-born population. This entrepreneurial spirit contributes significantly to the UK economy and provides evidence of immigrants' integration through economic activity.
4. Social Cohesion and Community Involvement
- Civic Participation: Many immigrants engage in civic activities, such as voting in local elections, volunteering, and participating in community organizations. For example, studies have shown that immigrants are active in local community groups and charities, contributing to social cohesion.
- Intermarriage: There is evidence of increasing rates of intermarriage between immigrants and native-born citizens, which is often seen as a strong indicator of social integration.
5. Cultural Integration
- Cultural Participation: Immigrants often participate in local cultural events, adopt British customs, and celebrate national holidays like Christmas and Bonfire Night. Over time, many immigrants also adapt to British norms and values, while contributing elements of their own cultures to the broader society.
6. Policy and Public Perception
- Naturalization and Citizenship: Many immigrants show their commitment to the UK by seeking British citizenship. The naturalization process involves passing a Life in the UK Test, which requires knowledge of British history, culture, and values.
- Public Opinion and Integration Outcomes: Surveys, such as the British Social Attitudes Survey, often show that public perceptions of immigrants improve over time, particularly as they integrate and contribute to their communities.
7. Research Findings
- Academic Studies: Research conducted by institutions like the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford consistently shows that immigrants are keen to integrate. Studies highlight that many immigrants see the UK as their home and are eager to become part of the broader society.
These points collectively provide robust evidence that immigrants in the UK are not only willing but actively pursuing integration across various dimensions of society.

not true. Blair did not start the multicultural society. Here are the facts:
The UK has been a multicultural society for many centuries. The roots of the UK's multiculturalism can be traced back to several key historical periods:
Roman Britain (43–410 AD): The Roman occupation brought people from across the Roman Empire to Britain, including soldiers, traders, and administrators from places like North Africa, the Middle East, and continental Europe.
Viking and Norman Invasions (8th–11th centuries): The arrival of the Vikings and later the Normans introduced new cultures, languages, and customs to Britain.
Medieval Period (11th–15th centuries): The UK saw an influx of Jewish communities in the 11th century, and after the expulsion of Jews in 1290, they were only allowed to return in the 17th century under Oliver Cromwell. The medieval period also saw various waves of migration from Europe, including Flemish weavers and Huguenots fleeing persecution.
British Empire and Colonial Era (16th–20th centuries): The expansion of the British Empire brought significant contact with diverse cultures around the world. This era saw the beginning of more substantial migration to the UK, especially from the Caribbean, South Asia, and Africa, starting in the 19th century and continuing into the 20th century.
Post-World War II Migration (1945 onwards): After World War II, the UK experienced significant immigration from former colonies, particularly from the Caribbean, South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), and Africa. This was partly due to labor shortages and the need for reconstruction. The arrival of the Windrush generation from the Caribbean in 1948 is often seen as a pivotal moment in the development of the UK's modern multicultural society.
European Union Membership (1973–2020): The UK's membership in the EU facilitated the migration of people from across Europe, further diversifying the population.

Really? When? Please tell me. The only information on public record that I can find is the exact opposite of what you say - but happy to be corrected if you have hard evidence to back up your claim. As of January 11, 2025, there are no publicly documented instances of Tommy Robinson defending Muslim families. On the contrary, he has been involved in activities and statements that have been widely criticized as targeting and vilifying Muslim communities. For example, In 2018, Robinson falsely accused a 15-year-old Syrian refugee, Jamal Hijazi, of attacking English girls at his school. These unfounded allegations led to significant distress for Hijazi and his family, including death threats and the need to relocate. In July 2021, Robinson was found liable for defamation and was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages, along with legal costs. Robinson is on public record having made statements indicating a lack of concern about inciting fear of Muslims. In a 2018 interview, he stated: “To be honest with you, I don’t care if it incites fear as long as it educates the children and prevents them from being raped.” 
These actions and statements have contributed to Robinson’s reputation as a figure who promotes anti-Muslim sentiments, rather than someone who defends Muslim families.
If you have specific instances or contexts in mind where Robinson may have defended Muslim families, please provide the evidence. And if true I will update accordingly. Thanks.

Lets actually get facts right instead of pointing either misleading or uneducated fake news. Leaders and organizations in the UK have actively condemned grooming gangs and sexual exploitation for years, emphasising that such actions are criminal and not representative of the Muslim community. Notable examples include the National Sermons Against Grooming. In June 2013, approximately 500 mosques across Britain delivered sermons condemning street grooming by gangs. Imams highlighted that the Quran condemns all forms of sexual indecency, reinforcing the community’s stance against such crimes. 
Another example, Ramadhan Foundation’s Stance. Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, has been vocal in condemning grooming gangs. Another recent example, the Political Advocacy in Oldham (2025). Abdul Wahid, a British Muslim councillor in Oldham, supported calls for an inquiry into grooming gangs. He stated, “These groomers are criminals. They’re not part of our community. It’s time to find out the truth.”  Another example is the Muslim Council of Britain’s (MCB) Position. The MCB has consistently condemned child sexual exploitation. In response to divisive rhetoric (such as comments on this channel), they emphasized the importance of addressing such crimes without demonizing entire communities. 
These instances demonstrate the proactive efforts of Muslim leaders and organizations in the UK to condemn and combat grooming gangs and sexual exploitation within their communities.

@ you imply therefore that you gave read the Quran. You will therefore be aware that as the foundational text of Islam, it does not explicitly mention modern concepts like “child exploitation” as we understand them today. However, it establishes principles of justice, compassion, and protection for the vulnerable that strongly oppose any form of exploitation, including of children. You will have read the key themes and verses related to this including for example:
1. Prohibition of Injustice
• The Quran condemns all forms of injustice and oppression, which would include exploiting vulnerable groups like children.
“Indeed, Allah commands you to uphold justice and to do good…” (Quran 16:90)
2. Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children
• Orphans and vulnerable children are given special attention in the Quran. Exploiting them, particularly taking advantage of their weakness, is strongly condemned:
“And do not approach the property of the orphan, except in a way that is best, until they reach maturity…” (Quran 6:152)
“Have you seen the one who denies the religion? For that is the one who drives away the orphan and does not encourage feeding the poor.” (Quran 107:1-3)
3. Prohibition of Exploitation in Transactions
• The Quran emphasizes fairness in dealings and strongly warns against taking advantage of others for personal gain, which applies to child labor or exploitation:
“And give full measure and weight with justice. We do not burden any soul beyond what it can bear.” (Quran 6:152)
4. General Protection of the Weak
• Protecting the rights and dignity of the weak and oppressed is a recurring theme in the Quran:
“And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and for the oppressed among men, women, and children…” (Quran 4:75)
5. Prohibition of Harm
• A fundamental principle in Islam is to prevent harm to oneself and others:
“Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you…” (Quran 17:31)
This verse addresses pre-Islamic practices of infanticide but also emphasizes the sanctity of children’s lives and their right to be cared for.
Broader Islamic Teachings:
Beyond the Quran, sayings (Hadith) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasize kindness, mercy, and justice toward children. For instance:
• “He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones…” (Sunan Abi Dawood)
• Exploiting children, or failing to provide them with their rights, is incompatible with these teachings.
Conclusion:
The Quran and broader Islamic teachings prioritize justice, protection, and care for children and the vulnerable. Exploiting children violates these principles and would be considered a grave sin in Islam.

so what precisely is the point you are trying to make here?
In answer to your questions, which are easily available to be answered via reputable media sources:
1. The woman who was fatally attacked while walking her dog in Brantham, Suffolk, has been identified as Anita Rose, a 57-year-old mother of six. She was found unconscious on July 24, 2024, after suffering a severe injury during her early morning walk with her dog. Despite receiving intensive care at Addenbrooke's Hospital, she passed away four days later.
A 45-year-old man from Ipswich was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but has since been rearrested on suspicion of murder following her death. Additionally, a 37-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the case on suspicion of handling stolen goods. Both individuals have been released on bail, pending further investigation.
The police are continuing their inquiries and have asked anyone with information, particularly those in the local area with CCTV or doorbell cameras, to come forward
2. Do you really want all the names? It'll take too long to list them here but what can be said is that over 700 individuals have been arrested so far and more than 300 charged across the country.
3. The recent stabbing of a British Army officer has led to the arrest of 24-year-old Anthony Esan. He has been Esan charged with attempted murder. The incident, initially feared to be terrorism-related, is now believed to be linked to mental health issues, with no terrorist connections identified. The soldier remains in serious but stable condition in the hospital. Esan has been remanded in custody pending further investigations.
4. Following the recent attack on a man outside the Clumsy Swan pub in Birmingham, the police issued a statement confirming that they are actively investigating the incident. They mentioned that there have been no arrests yet but are pursuing multiple leads to identify the attackers. The police also noted that they are investigating several related incidents of criminal damage in the area, including vandalism to vehicles and other property.
5. You are incorrect about Muslims. There have been reports of Muslims being hurt during the recent riots in the UK. For example, in Hull, an Asian man was attacked by a mob who falsely blamed Muslims for the killings that initially sparked the unrest. Similar attacks were reported in other cities like Manchester and Bristol.
So what exactly is your point?

@uingaeoc3905 That’s not accurate. You are confusing what people get as benefits and what things cost. Asylum seekers aren’t allowed to work and get just £7.28/week for essentials. Yes, they may get repurposed 'hotel' rooms and food, but it's basic, inflexible, and often poor quality. That 'benefit' is significantly below standard welfare support like Universal Credit, which provides hundreds of pounds per month. Most of the high cost goes to private contractors, not the migrants themselves. Meanwhile, UK citizens on benefits get more cash, freedom to choose housing, and can work. So there is a big difference — the system is expensive, not generous.

@Chari-n5b91ty Your statement is true except for the last line. The right of a country to defend itself is widely recognized in international law, particularly under the United Nations Charter's Article 51, which allows for self-defense if an armed attack occurs. However, how a country exercises this right is subject to international legal standards, such as humanitarian laws and rules of armed conflict.
These rules stipulate that any defensive actions must be proportional to the threat faced and must make a distinction between combatants and civilians, aiming to minimize harm to the latter. Even if a state has the right to defend itself, it doesn't grant carte blanche to act in any way it chooses; actions must comply with international law. Violations, such as excessive use of force or targeting civilians, can lead to accusations of war crimes.
In the case of Israel or any state facing conflict, the debate often centers on whether the measures taken are proportionate and whether they respect humanitarian norms, rather than whether the country has a right to self-defense itself. Critics may argue that some actions are excessive or violate international norms, while supporters may view those actions as necessary for self-defense.
Its is therefore not true to say that Isreal or any other country for that matter is entitled to defend itself in any way it chooses.
