Are you really that flippant and sacrilegious about the Canadian servicemen and women who fought against the Kaiser and Hitler? PS Although you're a wokeish fascist so no need to answer that.

So wait, y'all call one of your many monuments "The Cenotaph" even though that term simply describes a design feature shared by many monuments? Rather daft, isnt it?

Rather daft, isnt it? Probably because the one built at Whitehall was the prototype for the ones built throughout the world following the 1914-18 war, although there is one in Belfast (Northern Ireland), Wellington and Dunedin (New Zealand) that are also called Cenotaphs. Your National War Memorial includes your Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (the tomb in front), making it more than a simple cenotaph hence the name. Our Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is located in Westminster Abbey. Cenotaph means literally ''empty tomb''. Bit of trivia. Technically Washington's Capital is a cenotaph as it was originally built to house the tomb of George Washington. This did not transpire for various mundane reasons, making The Capital technically a cenotaph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You anticipated that I would know the National War Memorial and the other 75 memorials by the name "The Cenotaph." Thats how this started, when you called me a mean name for not knowing that we had 76 The Cenotaph(s). I see youve been enjoying a bit of wikipedia since then.

Yes, but I knew cenotaphs were prevalent in Canada before consulting wikipedia. Indeed, they were built throughout the commonwealth after 1914-18.

Generally that is what fascists do, destroy things, eradicate history, censor, burn books. But perhaps you were being facetious in which case, my apologies.

And I triggered you good But Ive posted my actual thoughts on it right after the month-old-post you initiated this exchange with.

I am not very good with history - well I'll offer the type of book title which predominates: Race, Identity and Gender in a Post-Colonial Society: Lessons on Strategic Racial Awareness in a Gender Affirming Environment (I just made that up). Don't mistake me here: I have had to delve into this for my degree but...yack. 1960s campus leftish rubbish - woke before woke existed. Give me a Tudor and a good battle any day.

AtariLegend Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 So yesterday Chris Grayling somehow lost a contest that was rigged for him to win it... head of the parliamentary intel committee. So today with the Russia report looming (and accusations of senior Tories taking money from Russians for influence), the conservatives have responded by basically trying to say Russia tried to help Corbyn win the election in 2019 to prevent Brexit.

Assuming she is allowed back into the UK to argue her case against deportation what would happen if she loses? Bangladesh have said they won’t have her and we can’t just ditch her in any other random country so would she win the right to stay in the UK by default?

Bangladesh have said they won’t have her and we can’t just ditch her in any other random country so would she win the right to stay in the UK by default? If her case against drportation failed she would presumably apply for refugee status so she initially becomes an asylum seeker while this is decided. As an asylum seeker the Home Office provides accomodation and a small amount to live on until a descision was made to grant her refugee status which would be based on whether the country she has left is safe to return to. If she wasnt granted refugee status she would be pretty fucked as would have no recourse to public and would be served notice to leave the HO accomodation within 56 days and wouldn't be able to claim u/c including what used to be housing benefit. So would have a right to appeal that decision but if that failed and the country she fled from won't take her back the Home Office would have to take that up with them but if she left voluntarily and they didn't deport her I can't see they would have a leg to stand on. Or she could go underground and make someone an excellent house keeper at very reasonable rates 😄 Edited July 17, 2020 by spunko12345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
