  1. Most likely own fans since there would be segregation for toilets between home and away fans Don't know if racism is worsening, or social media is increasing awareness
  2. Must be, it’s actually more accurately pronounced that way? I think you are a Johal or have family who are lol
  3. www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-60761972.amp Scientists are concerned that the allowable levels of toxic PFAS - known as "forever chemicals" - in UK drinking water are too high. A BBC study found PFAS levels exceeded European safety levels in almost half of the samples taken. However, none exceeded the current UK safety level. The chemicals are in many products such as non-stick pans, food packaging, carpets, furniture, firefighting foam. They have been linked to a range of diseases, including cancer. Guidelines from the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate state drinking water must contain PFAS chemicals at no more than 100 nanograms per litre (ng/l). Above that, action must be taken to reduce levels. Working with Greenwich University, the BBC took 45 tap water samples. Laboratory analysis found that none exceeded the 100ng/l level. But 25 samples did contain PFASs, and four had levels that exceeded 10ng/l, which, under the current guidelines, means local local healthcare professionals must be consulted, and levels monitored. And almost half of the samples exceeded the European Food Standards Agency tolerable limit of 2.2ng/l. Professor Roger Klein, a chemist and PFAS expert, said: "The significance of your results, even though they're small, is that it underlines that this stuff is everywhere and that it's in drinking water. "It's ridiculous that the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate has a level of 100ng/l before action is taken." Rita Lock-Caruso, Professor of toxicology at the University of Michigan, also said the results raised a potential health concern: "We're finding health effects at lower and lower concentrations - in the single digits." Research has found the most common PFAS chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, have probable links to high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer, kidney cancer, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. There is particular concern about the effect on children. Professor Philippe Grandjean, of Harvard University, said: "A woman may build this up in her body and when she gets pregnant, she shares that with her foetus. She eliminates part of her body burden into her milk. So, the next generation will get a huge dose, and the baby may end up having up to 10 times as much PFAS in the blood as her mother has." The US is considering reducing its regulatory level, from 70ng/l. "We are beginning to think that there's no such thing as a safe level and we want them to be as low as possible, because water is not the only source of exposure," said former head of the National Institute of Environmental Sciences, Linda Birnbaum. However, there is little public data about its presence or impacts in the UK.
  4. That might have happened if media coverage on Sikhs on Afghanistan was like what it is with Ukraine and Ukrainian people
  5. That’s happened more than once, lol! Some good news
  6. This is an example of soccer goalposts @MisterrSingh the spelling ‘Jouhl’ Is how the man in the article spelled it/spells it.
  7. I think @californiasardar1 was being sarcastic…
  8. I think you’ve gone soft and ‘woke’ mate ! (Not really!)
  9. Depends on the exact situation - what if the Khatri had family responsibilities, and the Kharku is unmarried ? I think your above post is actually very interesting, and i would like to see what others say
  10. The OP was about Southall, so posting this here, hope everyone who has elderly family keeps a close eye on them if not living with them. I know Crime is ever-present, but good to be reminded from time to time https://chiswickherald.co.uk/man-assaulted-in-southall-burglary-p14752-95.htm Man Assaulted in Southall Burglary By Áine McGinty• Tue, Mar 15, 2022 Hounslow Police are appealing for witnesses and information following an aggravated burglary in Southall on Saturday evening (12/03). Police, who were called to the property on Clarence Street at 19:29, are hunting two male suspects. The men knocked on the door of the house before pushing their way inside and assaulting their victim, a man in his 70s. The man was tied up inside his home before the suspects fled the scene with a quantity of cash. Both suspects are described as black males. Sergeant Karen Thomas from the West Area Burglary and Robbery Team said: "This was a terrifying incident. We urge anyone who may have witnessed the suspects arriving or leaving the scene. If you know who is responsible then I would urge you to come forward. We would also welcome any CCTV or dashcam footage which may assist with our investigation.

  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-60772601 @shastarSingh why did this happen ? On a programme yesterday on KTV in the UK, they mentioned about how criminals have infiltrated Kabaddi in Panjab/India. I didn't watch all of it, but the way they discussed Sandeep, it was like he was a completely innocent party. Was this done as a 'message' to someone else ? Is there any drugs involvement ?
  12. https://www.businessinsider.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-russians-ukraine-war-lies-nazis-propaganda-2022-3?r=US&IR=T Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a direct appeal to Russians being lied to about Ukraine: 'Your futures are being sacrificed for a senseless war' Brent D. Griffiths 2 hours ago Arnold Schwarzenegger made a direct appeal to Russian people and soldiers. He said that they are being lied to about the war in Ukraine much as the Nazis lied to his father. "Your lives, your limbs, and your futures are being sacrificed for a senseless war condemned by the entire world," he said.
  13. Breaking the Color Bar — How One Man Helped Desegregate Britain’s Pubs (and Fought for an Anti-Racist Future) Words by David Jesudason Illustrations by Colette Holston March 16, 2022 Malcolm X is walking down a road in Smethwick, England, called Marshall Street. He wants to witness with his own eyes the racism endured by South Asian immigrant foundry workers, which has seen them banned from buying property along this ordinary stretch of small terraced houses. He wants to visit a pub to see the “color bar” in action—the practice of forcing non-white customers into segregated drinking rooms away from their white colleagues and neighbors. But most of all, he wants to meet the comrades fighting in the same broad anti-racism struggle, more than 3,000 miles away. He’s seen angry white people before, and he’s used to their brutal resistance to his presence. A group of women are holding a banner, while others are shouting: “We don’t want Malcolm X here!” Despite their attempts, he is able to meet the band of Indian activists who have been protesting against the color bar, using peaceful tactics similar to those employed by the Freedom Riders in the United States earlier in the decade. They fear for his safety—particularly one Sikh man, named Avtar Singh Jouhl—but he refuses their offer of walking with him in convoy. If he is attacked, the press are here and would—hopefully—report the unprovoked violence. He turns to Jouhl and says, ‘‘This is worse than America. This is worse than Harlem.” More.... https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/blog/2022/3/16/breaking-the-color-bar-how-one-man-helped-desegregate-britains-pubs-and-fought-for-an-anti-racist-future and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avtar_Jouhl_Singh
  14. @Kau89r8 I post stuff from twitter sometimes, but where possible it's better I think, to post stuff copy and pasted from websites if you can. Tweets take time to display on forum sites and I've found it more difficult than I would like to make sense of the many tweets posted here
  15. This is not a 'mistake' - it's fully intentional. Why can't he keep a kirpaan, even a smaller one, whilst in swimming pool? If he chooses not to do that, he should not be doing Ardaas repeatedly for the same issue Many jatts or other pendus would have given the same reply as the 'Bhappa' in this situation I think - this Ardaas is acceptable I think as it seems genuine .
  16. @GurjantGnostic you like Elvis? Did he ‘appropriate’ black American music? Doris Day had a good voice
  17. @proudkaur21 @Kau89r8 @justasking ctvnews.ca/local/british-columbia/2022/1/14/1_5741259.amp.html VANCOUVER News B.C. woman calls for accountability after TikTok humiliations almost drove her to suicide Published Jan. 14, 2022 9:45 p.m. ET Sharan Preet has been a TikTok user for a year and a half. For the Surrey, B.C., mom, the app is a source of entertainment, and a place where she can express herself and her Indian heritage. “My song collection, my makeup, I like this,” Preet told CTV News. But being on the platform almost cost Preet her life. At the end of 2021, Preet became a victim of video manipulation. A small number of her videos were stolen by other users, who then replaced the sound with incredibly offensive songs.….. On Christmas Day, Preet attempted to take her own life. Her teenage daughter saw what was happening and stopped her……. Sandy Chatha is a former RCMP officer and currently works in law enforcement. She also uses TikTok, in part to help spread information, such as telling young people how to get a career in policing. “It was a platform for sharing and also entertainment. Of course, that makes you feel good,” Chatha said. In late December, Chatha started hearing from women whose videos had been stolen and manipulated. She’s since been in contact with 48 women around the world. In most of those instances, the women have South Asian heritage, and many of the videos are in Punjabi. In Preet’s case, Chatha said the words in the altered video were “very explicit, humiliating, degrading.” “They are describing sexual acts,” Chatha said. “Very detailed, very explicit. More so degrading to the woman saying, you know, you’ll be doing this, I’ll be doing that to you.” Chatha said the language can lead to honour killings in some families.…., TikTok accountability Chatha said she has made multiple attempts to get TikTok to remove the altered videos, without success………
