All sorts of bad, depressing stuff going on over there and very few good actors.- Hamas.

All blame-worthy and you can throw Hamas' sponsors into the mix too. No innocent parties there."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

You know they didn't HAVE to open sniper fire on children right?

...Just got $600 from post office, think it cost €520...Paying by card so stuck it in to the machine...She does her bit, counts the money, says I can remove the card and that's that...But I didn't actually pay for it, she's just fucked up and I've gotten a free $600, happy days!!!...
...But then my idiot side kicks in and I actually tell her I didn't put pin code in, and it couldn't have gone through on my card...She then says you're right and I pay it then...
...I'm now off to work having done a very fucking good deed...

Thomson Reuters to move foreign exchange derivative trading to Ireland
The financial and media company Thomson Reuters is to move its foreign exchange derivative trading facility from London to Dublin.
The company says it has applied to the Central Bank to move its facility because of Brexit.
In a statement, the company says: "Thomson Reuters has commenced the process of applying to the Central Bank of Ireland for authorisation to operate its FX Multilateral Trading Facility from Dublin rather than London as a result of the UK's planned departure from the European Union.
"It is our intention to transfer all existing client relationships of the Thomson Reuters MTF and Dealing, as well as Fixed Income Callouts and Auctions, from RTSL to our new Irish legal entity ahead of the Brexit date."
Thomson Reuters told clients on Tuesday it had applied for a licence.
It will be used to cover the derivatives business - the largest in Europe - which trades more than US$300bn (€251bn) a day.
Foreign exchange (FX) derivatives are contracts to buy or sell foreign currencies at a future date.
Thomson Reuters is the parent of Reuters News and controlled by Canada's Thomson family.
Is this a big win for Ireland or are the big numbers quoted relevant?

edit:
It has no plans to move any employees from London or elsewhere to Dublin but was hiring new staff to meet local laws, it added.

The odd thing is that the WB 'should' be more aggressive as Israel has effectively stolen large chunks of it. But it's actually Gaza where the bulk of the conflict occurs now (which has zero settlers).
A reversal of the first Intifada which was very much centred on the WB."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I was asking if you were saying it's;
A) 18 months after you leave to lose residency, and a further 18 months to intend to return, or
B) After you leave the country, you have 18 months to intend to return
...in order to keep your vote.
Replying "is 18 months" is kinda meaningless. Doesn't make sense.
Simple A or B. Which of the above are saying is correct. As you appear to flip between the two.

I know quite a few Jewish people. Some religious, some not.
Most of the "rules" are absolutely absurd, and ridiculously archaic. Kosher, shabbos. Even more ridiculous are the ways they are permitted to angleshoot the rules. Like the eruv rule.
On the other, the interest free money community loans really kick start a property portfolio if you're in a affluent suburb.

BTW Im not just picking away at you. I googled like you suggested. Nothing on the first page gave any timeframe for losing ordinarily resident status. As an emigrant myself it's of personal interest. Even posting 1 of the many links/sources you've read would be helpful. But alas...

There are no settlers because it is a tiny hellhole.

You don't protest against racism/rape/youth murders etc down a dark alley, in a dodgy part of North London, on your own, at 2 in the morning!

Originally posted by 5starpool View PostIs Gaza not just a small, hugely overpopulated poverty stricken area where the powerful overlords next door shoot into at will almost? I'm not sure why any of that would foment resentment and violence really, it sounds like a lovely place.

No to 'shoot at will'. No aggression out = no aggression in. Sadly, Hamas actually want 'martyrs' therefore stoke up stuff like the current escalation. Knowing that the Israelis will react, as they always do, with overwhelming force.
This is not to excuse Israeli overreaction but to get across that Hamas are just as culpable in the deaths of these people.
BTW: there were settlers in Gaza until quite recently and the Israeli government forcibly (and correctly) removed them."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

These incidents are stage managed to Hamas knowing full well what will happen. Fatah are a bit mote discerning with the lives of their citizens."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Hamas are cunts, Hamas being cunts should not be used to allow Israel to excuse the shit they have done for way too long

Unfortunately none of the non-cuntish countries have the juice to stops the cunts being cuntish, especially now the biggest cunt of the lot is in charge."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Blow up the whole of the region, that should fix it, or maybe just Israel would be a good start.

US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, endorsed Israel’s actions in a UN security council meeting on Tuesday.
Haley praised Israel for showing restraint as Palestinian militant group Hamas “has been inciting violence for years, long before the United States decided to move our embassy” to Jerusalem.
“No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has,” Haley said.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I am trying to contextualise it. And, part of the context is Hamas deliberately encouraging Palestinians, including children, into situations where they know the Israelis will respond with lethal force.
So, if you're going to condemn Israel, condemn Hamas too."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
