I thought he was reasonable unlike Patels but hindus will be hindus... his wife is Brahmin Hindu
voted against law to promote human rights and equality
He's a money hungry Tory like the rest of them, don't get caught up in the whole "but he's got the same skin colour as us so he must be okay", everything he's done is planned out, he wanted to go for the boss position but Boris and his gang did him over hence all the news about his wife not paying taxes and his "green card" status, he's not the same as us, he would probably sell his own mother if he knew there was profit in it.

There were whispers Sunak had orchestrated the leaking of those events to get the Prime Minister's job. Seems Johnson wanted payback, knowing Labour would jump on the pile-on against Sunak. Although the revelation of Sunak's financial arrangements isn't racially motivated, I think there's definitely an intended racial aspect to him being lowered a peg or two in his standing. His missus looks like a chalakho, though. She seems like the woman who prides herself on being her husband's trusted advisor in how to secure power. A proper Lady Macbeth.
There's no wondering, it's exactly what's happened.

@kcmidlands I have heard that Leicester/shire has been increasingly thought as a desirable area for Sikhs who have emigrated from Europe and other parts of the UK.
And there seem to be quite regular Gurdwara programs/events there advertised on TV and I saw recent Hola Mohalla event on TV and were lots of Rehitvaan young Sikhs
I know of Sikhs in Birmingham who regularly go to one of the Gurdwaras there also
I can swear there was another thread about this incident.
I don't know about desirable, Leicester has a high population of "Illegal" Punjabi's who find it easy to get work in the local factories and building sites, cash in hand, no questions asked.
I think the Gurdwara you're on about is Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara, it's where the meeting took place for this incident, it's a Panthic Gurdwara, they do a lot for the youth there now, I know the head of the committee really well, he's a good guy, always doing the best for the local community.

Oh, I don't disagree, we always get comfortable and then every so often something happens that wakes us up.
I think there was a little more to what happened here that is being reported but I've only heard it second hand so I'm not going to spread information that may or may not be true, either way, it's hit the local press, it only took them 2 days.

I saw this yesterday morning and was heartbroken that this still goes on, i grew up with this kind of stuff in the 80's and hoped people were passed it.
@Premi5There are a lot of Sikhs in Leicester but not as many as you would think, the problem is the communities here are still very "self" orientated and don't show support for one another when this kind of thing happens, so far no one from the Muslin community has come out and condemned what has happened, they'll only do it when the local newspaper get's hold of it.
There was a really good turn out at the Gurdwara in support of these 3 young Singhs, the police have arrested 3 of the idiots that did this (they've been released on bail), the school they go to is part of a larger academy who run 3 schools in Leicester, my daughters go to one of them (not the same one), they'll be a lot of emails, letter's and phone calls going to the academy from parents this with asking them to explain how they allow this kind of thing to go on.

@californiasardar1 I was going to make a comment on you "What is the incentive for a Sikh man to keep his kesh these days?" comment but i think it's been sufficiently answered, i will however say that if you have to ask a question like that then it may be worthwhile sitting down for a while and self-reflecting about what it is you expect from Sikhi, when we keep our kesh, tie a dastaar and even be fortunate enough to take amrit it doesn't instantly put us on another level, it's just the beginning of a journey that can take our entire lives to traverse.
I have a young son, we've kept his kesh, we've made sure he keep's the right sangat but it's a daily battle to tie his gutti at the moment, my wife give's up easily and often say's we should cut his hair (mostly out of frustration at him, he's six years old), every single time she say's it i cry inside, i do ardaas asking for forgiveness, i can't explain to her what keeping your kesh then eventually tying a dastaar means, to most people it's just hair, to someone like me it's a part of who i am, I hope that one day my son feels that way but i have to let him find his own way.

Yeah, it is a bit strange, getting to your 40's and deciding to cut your kesh, seems more like an early onset mid-life crisis to me, everyone I've known that has done it has usually been in their teen's or early twenties.
I remember when my cousin cut his hair, he was in his mid teens, he came round our house with his mum and dad (my pua and phuffar), he acted like he had achieved something by doing it, my Gran (his Nani) soon slapped the smile off his face(not physically though), he was pretty much crying by the time he left to go home.

He would be 42 and this left me a bit confused, does this really happen these days with all the wokeness going around or just a mid life crisis.
I've seen this happen in family and friends circles a lot over the years, for me the worst part are the excuses, it show's how weak that person's character is, if you don't want to keep you hair or tie a dastaar just be honest about it with others and more importantly yourself, all this "Can't get a job" "I feel discriminated" nonsense, every time someone comes to me with this i gently tell them i grew up in the 80's and i used to get beaten up a fair amount just for having a "topknot", it never once entered my mind that i should cut my hair to make my life easier.

I have a little more hope now that Bhagwant Maan has become CM, he has spoken in support of Jaggi in the past and his right to a fair trial, time will tell if he's a man of his word though.

@Premi5I think they're all out as far as I'm aware, i seem to remember they weren't local Singh's (for the most part), a few of them came from Coventry.
Suffice to say every time some local youth form a certain community gets a bity tasty they're told "Remember what happened at the Moghul Dardar", they soon settle down.

Its made from wheat gluten... sorry to break it to you but they will be using the cheapest wheat (GMO stuff) to get the gluten, then they hyper-process it to get the chewy meaty stuff. Given that people's intolerance of modern wheat (high protein/gluten GMO wheat) is rising, you aren't going to do well on this if you eat it regular.
The one I can just about tolerate these days is the Green Cuisine range as mentioned above. Its similar to higher protein meat alternatives that I had in France. Its based on Peas. It tastes nice too (not trying to be overly fake meat).
But then again Jhatka Goat blows this fake stuff out of the water. You can look into how to getting it in the UK via Nihang types.
Thanks for the information, I don't eat a lot of the "fake meat" food's, prefer to stick to traditional Punjabi food.
We do okay with wheat based stuff, we've made home made seitan a few times, it's okay once you marinade the living hell out of it.
I'm not going to get into a debate about Jhatka meat, if you think it's okay to eat it then go for it, i personally don't eat meat and Jhatka meat is a no no as well.

It's mostly highly processed soya. I am vegetarian but I don't think these products are good for the health much. Quorn use egg a lot I think (if you don't eat egg)
A lot of the new stuff is based around wheat protein but a lot of meat alternative is still soya based, Quorn have introduced their vegan stuff that doesn't have egg in it, we tried it and didn't like it but then we don't eat a lot of their products anyway.

There's a lot of Vegan alternatives now, some are pretty decent and other's are trash but it all depends how you cook them. We don't use many Quorn products anymore, their Vegan range aren't really that good, our kids like the Birds eye Vegan range, they do fake chicken peices and thing's that could pretty easily replace meat in any Daal/Sabzi, if you cook them the way they tell you they end up being pretty bland, the Beyond Meat stuff is really nice but it's pretty expensive but if you're coming from a meat eating background then they are probably more appropriate because they are aimed at people wanting to reduce meat in-take.

Novak Djokovic has Covid-19 vaccination 'exemption' to play at Australian Open
"I've spent fantastic quality time with my loved ones over the break and today I'm heading Down Under with an exemption permission," the nine-time Australian Open champion said in Instagram post on Tuesday; Australian Open say his medical exemption passed a 'rigorous, multi-step' review.
Last Updated: 04/01/22 6:44pm
Djokovic will play at the Australian OpenNovak Djokovic says he has an "exemption permission" to play at the Australian Open without a Covid-19 vaccination.
Djokovic had never revealed whether he is vaccinated against Covid-19, but has criticised mandates ruling that players must be double-jabbed.
"I've spent fantastic quality time with my loved ones over the break and today I'm heading Down Under with an exemption permission," he said on social media on Tuesday.
Rules in Victoria, where the Australian Open will begin on January 17, stated that players must be double-vaccinated against Covid-19.
Djokovic had previously been named in Serbia's team for the ATP Cup in Sydney, but then withdrew from the tournament which is a traditional warm-up for the Australian Open, leading to a mystery about his participation in the Grand Slam.
Yeah, he's had his Visa cancelled.

Translated from the original
Million tax evasion
"Batman" sentenced to more than three years in prison
It was about sales tax fraud on a grand scale: The Briton Peter Virdee Singh, known as "Batman", has been sentenced to imprisonment according to SPIEGEL information. His confession was taken into account.December 23, 2021, 9.43 p.m.He is considered a key figure in the case of a so-called sales tax carousel that cost the German tax authorities almost 125 million euros: The British Peter Virdee Singh, known as "Batman", has been imprisoned for three years and three months in six cases by the Frankfurt am Main regional court for serious tax evasion To be sentenced. The attorney general there confirmed to SPIEGEL on request.The judgment was issued on December 16 - without the public having been informed. In the sentence, among other things, Singh's confession and voluntary "reparation payments" of the convicted person in the amount of 3.9 million euros played a role, it said. According to SPIEGEL information, Singh is currently back in Great Britain before he has to start his prison sentence. The United Kingdom transferred him to Germany a week before the verdict was to be pronounced. Officials from the Department for Serious and Organized Crime of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) accompanied him at the time. At times, Singh was one of the most wanted men in Europe.The fraud model of Singh and his accomplices was based on the trading of emission certificates , as the public prosecutor's office, tax investigators and the BKA reconstructed in years of investigative work: A group of business people imported CO 2 certificates tax-free from an EU country to Germany , smuggled them through numerous bogus companies and carried it out again through Deutsche Bank . The trick was to get 19 percent sales tax reimbursed by the tax authorities on export, which in truth was never paid. Several members of the gang had already been sentenced to imprisonment for this.
Singh himself had long portrayed himself as a righteous, successful businessman. There are pictures of him shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth II or showing himself with pop star Rihanna .
bbr / jdl / mgbIt'll be interesting if he does go to jail over there considering the circles he runs in and being a Tory donor, but hey, what goes around comes around.

Very very sad news
It’s the apaar kirpa and compassion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, daas found something special in this life. Went through hard things like grieving, bullying at school, depression and attempting suicide. Sangat ji daas isn’t even from a Sikhi background at all, nor from an area with much Sikhi. By his kirpa kept doing mool mantar, then age 16 darshan happened. Guru Sahib Ji personally gave daas jugat of dasam duar.Past few years daas has lived very gupat remaining hidden from the world. Only people in my life now are parents, work colleagues and few family friends. Life is very isolated and lonely.
There’s a huge opportunity to write guidance on naam simran covering current issues - depression, mental health, suicide, social media too!
Hopefully in around 1 week new project could be ready to share now.
I'm glad you found your way out of darkness and that your path was made easier by Sikhi.
I think a lot more can and should be done in out community, there's been a few prominent Sikhs on social media (UK) that have set things up to make it easier for Sikh men to have an outlet and discuss their problems but i don't think they will last that long, they'll be a flash in the pan until the next unfortunate incident where one of ours takes his (ore even her) life.
I find it disappointing that we now have upwards of 4 Sikh tv stations here in the UK and not one of them mentioned what happened with this young man so it could lead to more discussion and maybe help others, it seems they're too busy promoting their own causes and asking or money.

I've been debating whether to post this, i saw nothing about it posted so i though I'd share.
On Thursday evening there was a post on Twitter (to begin with) about a young Singh who had gone missing, he left a lengthy note on an Instagram post, it was pretty intense reading as it turned out he's been suffering from depression for a number of years and not told anyone, i followed it through the evening as more and more people started looking from him, i did Ardaas before going to bed that he would be found and that he would find help in whatever he was going through, I thought, like the majority of these cases I'd wake up and he would have been found.
Into the morning after the school run i checked on Twitter and Instagram for any news, the young Singh had committed suicide, he jumped from the M621 bridge in Leeds, i don't know why but this has really hit me hard to a point where i was nearly in tears when i read about what happened, this young man had suffered from depression and it had got to a point where he felt death was the only escape, there's not been much reported aside from social media, there's a link below.
https://celebsaga.com/deep-singh-m621-bridge-fall-death-leeds-suicide-of-missing-man-mr-singh/
The bigger issue here for me is that there seems to be a complete lack of support for men in our community to go and talk to someone, we're just meant to grin an bear it, I'm sure this has probably been spoken about before on these forums as well, there seems to be a number of cases this year alone where men from the Sikh community have ended there lives due to depression.
On a day to day basis we don't know what battles someone is fighting, most of the time we can take some solace in Gurbani but what happens when that isn't enough, one thing i do know is that men in our community need to learn to talk and not bottle things up, sometimes it could mean the difference between someone deciding to live another day or not.

Is the bill passed or is it yet to be discussed?
As already mentioned, it has to got to the House of Lords next, they used to have the power to reject Bill's that come from the house of commons but Cameron severely restricted that when he was in power with a number of parliamentary acts, they can send it back if they don't like certain texts in a bill for revision, they can delay an act of legislation for up to a year but ultimately the house of commons has more power now.

Just looked at gov website on voting for this bill, which MPs voted 'aye'/'noe'
https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/1175?byMember=False#notrecorded
None of the Conservative MP's voted against, even all the colored ones. Rishi Sunak and Alok Sharma did not put a vote
I think with bills like this they are all expected to tow the company line otherwise they face the party whip, it's still no excuse for not having any morals.

Priti Patel talks tough (she is f'n useless) and yet there are thousands of people coming over the channel in boats.
So potentially there are millions of non-white people who will have their citizenship stripped away but the government cannot even control the borders.
So what are they going to do, are they going to put us in camps?
She may be useless but what her cronies are getting her to do set's a very dangerous precedent, if they get away with it the person who is having their citizenship revoked has no right to appeal, even someone convicted of murder has a right to appeal, someone gets booted out and people will think twice about protesting because Priti and her gang are planning new anti-protest laws.
If this Clause get's through without change, the first time they try it on with someone, the shits well and truly going to hit the fan in this country.
