She went a little ballistic on social media a while back, speaking about the Bollywood Illuminati and then she went full tin hat conspiracy theory bonkers before she stopped posting on social media, i think she has issues (and that's putting it lightly).

Twitter is not that bad as long as you don't go too deep but "Brown" Twitter as it's called is one of the most toxic thing's I've ever seen but yeah, it's not a bad thing to just turn it off once in a while, your mental health will thank you.

I've met him a few times, i mentioned it in an earlier post, he's very passionate about what he does and is good-hearted, he's the type of person that want's to fix all the wrong's in the world, i think that Khalsa Aid has grown so fast so quickly that it need's to be managed properly which i don't think it was up until recently.

Tan Dhesi has mentioned 1984 numerous times, he spoke about it last week asking about a public inquiry into British involvement into 1984 only to be told by Jacob Rees-Mogg that Thatcher was great, he's also spoken about Jaggi Johal and petitioning the British Foreign Secretary. Who hasn't used their identity to further their Brand, we have singer's who have cut hair, wear a dastaar and promote Sikhi, kid's look up to them, they keep their kesh, start tying a dastaar, it that right (it might be off on a tangent but the principle is the same), we have our own channels but they have their own agendas so why do we expect our charities to be any different.

I agree with this, I've got no idea who Gurpreet California Singh is but one thing i do know, every time someone from our community get's into a position of fame/power/influence in whatever shape or form our expectations from them turn into you have to do for us, this is evident across the board, when Tan Singh Dhesi was elected as an MP for Slough he was criticised by loads of people from the Sikh community for not doing enough for Sikhs, you had Singh's from all over the UK slating him when he said his responsibility is to the people of Slough who elected him (it doesn't mean he doesn't raise issues relating to Sikhs, he does). We, as a community, are our own worst enemies, if all you want to do with your charity is help families in Punjab, help them, there are lots of people that need help in the world, focus on what you think is important. If you feel Khalsa Aid doesn't match up to your point of view, don't donate to them, simple as. @Jonny101 The person you spoke to hit the nail on the head, Ravi Singh has bought the amount of charity works Singhs do into the limelight, we need that positive PR.

I don't think normal, everyday, run of the mill people like can understand the pressure people feel when they are put in the limelight, if that pressures not kept in check then it will manifest into many things, some people go off the rails, drugs, alcohol, sleeping with anything that moves, others will internalise it all leading to mental health issues including depression. Industries like Bollywood are a club where you follow the rules or your careers over, only the rules they have don't really resonate with normal people, i remember a video that someone had shot last year of a private party where you had A-list Bollywood actors and directors openly snorting coke, looking at the camera like they where living on another planet, if this had been a normal person their career would have been over but they all protect each other. It's all a sad state of affair's, it's basically a spiders web that once you get tangled in it you have to move at the same rhythm as the spider or your finished.

The Gandhi statue in Leicester is a bone of contention with a lot of people, it's been deface by some local Singh's a few times, i couldn't care either way to be honest, i don't see it coming down mainly because, like you've mentioned, the local populace is mainly Gujarati and they do love Gandhi.

While many were flogged by the British in India, this image isn't one of those, it's from here: https://www.loc.gov/item/2014712083/ Could be a slave or could be someone being punished for a crime as was common place in America in the 1900's.

This i agree with 100%, but that discussions for another thread. I've said in my post i'm neither for or against Ravi Singh, everyone has there own personal experience, it's unfortunate that your has been so negative up to a point where you've lost faith. We filmed a promotional piece for a search and rescue charity down south a while back and i was amazed at how cut throat the charity "industry" is, they have to fight tooth and nail to get your money so the more pr they get the better but unfortunately people who actually need help suffer because of it.

I really am on the fence about this (and i'm not standing up for them), I've met Ravi a few times and he's a decent guy who always want's to do the right thing but i thing but Khalsa Aid has grown a lot over the last few years and managing an charity is a huge task, one which he isn't that experienced in and i think it's lost focus from what it was originally set up to do. He's always said Khalsa Aid was a Humanitarian Charity who help where there is need, we sit here and judge them for helping in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and not so much in Punjab, I personally don't have an issue with that, to me a charity should help and not look at the race or religion of those they help, if you want to donate to a charity that specifically helps a certain religion then you should donate to them, simple. I donate to Unique Home in Jalandhar who specifically help girls who have been abandoned, it's very difficult for international charities to operate in Punjab due to the amount of politics and red tape (although some have managed to do it) so i donate to a charity based over there that i know have been vetted and are legit. I've never understood the hate towards Khalsa Aid, specifically Ravi Singh, i think even if he was devoting 100% of his time to causes in Punjab someone would get up and take issue with that, each to their won i suppose.

Th UK app was made by Marc Warner's company, if you don't know who he is then google him, his brother was hired by Dominic Cummings for the Vote Leave & Tory campaigns, we all know how much dodgy stuff went on there. On a technical front, it doesn't work properly on IOS so all you with Iphones are going to have fun, there's load's of other things wrong with it but that will turn this into a technical conversation.

I love seeing what's happening around the world with the environment with people being told to stay indoors, the lack of pollution has let the earth breath again, it brilliant, the thing is i don't live with my head in the clouds (although sometime's i wish i could), as soon as humans are let out again it won't take long to suffocate the earth again.

My Grandmother passed away last year, she's been ill for a while so she knew, she did a lot of path, we grew up learning from her. She had breathing problems one night and her breathing pretty much stopped, she was like that for a good while, we called 999, paramedics were working on her and about to take her down the stair's into the ambulance, she woke up. She didn't want to go to hospital, we had to sign a waiver form and call the GP to do a home visit the next day. After the GP had visited the next day she sits my mum down, mum asks her what happened, she said she went to a place were there were people being beaten up and screaming, she was told to go away, it wasn't her time. 2 weeks later to the day she passed away, looking back i don't know what to make of it, I'm still processing her loss, she was one of the main people that bought me up, she was a extremely religious woman, she didn't fear death one bit. The amount of time's I've heard similar account's is uncanny, are we just storing the account's like these subconsciously and when certain chemicals are released we access those thoughts, does it actually happen? maybe we're better off not knowing.

It's a cultural thing, it has very little to do with religion. People from different backgrounds have come here (UK) and the newer generation's want to feel as though they fit in so pursue a western culture where their parents/grand-parents pursued an eastern/traditional culture. When i grew up in the 80's our generation was torn between two cultures, boy's and girls would go out, drink, have relationship's in secret because they still feared their families and their communities, now the next generation are doing it all out in the open. There's no right or wrong in all of this, we just have to try and do the best by our kids and hope they listen. Before the British invaded India it was a lot more sexually liberated than any other country, the Victorian's turned up and made it all taboo, what we're seeing now is a rebellion to that mindset, especially in India.

Sikhistore are great, i order from them on a regular basis, they sent me out the wrong colour dastaar once and let me keep the incorrect one and sent out the right one, not many companies do that kind of stuff. On the subject of winners and looser's, i have a friend at one of the tech firms sub-contracted to make on of the contact tracing app for the NHS, if they don't get any more work they would still be okay given the amount of money they are being paid.

Going back to the OP, he was identified and sacked from the law firm he worked at.

They'll make a film of it, mark my words.....?

But i believe a load of random videos on the internet, oh man, i really didn't want to post anything on this thread but the amount of rubbish I've seen linking 5G to Covid-19 over the last few days has been beyond a joke, those people that filmed the videos are filming on mobile devices that let off low levels of radiation, they don't see the irony. Here's all the tinfoil conspiracy theories condensed into one insane post

Looking at my twitter feed last night it seems that people tracked him down and where he works and contacted his employers, oops.

The best thing to do when people post stuff like this is simple, do a little digging on line, find their LinkedIn profile, find out who they work for and send some screenshots of what heir employee is doing, simple. My friends daughter was getting pestered by a guy on twitter a while back, she did all but 5 minutes worth of digging online and sent a load of screenshots to the guys company, I don't think he works there anymore.

Couple of things: Never, ever criticise the chef, simple, you'll end up with food poisoning, just sayin.... Grow up, you had an Anand Karaj, have it explained to you, it's not about marrying a woman and she becomes your slave, it's deeper than that. Earning money doesn't make you the boss of the house, running the house make's you the boss of the house, raising the kids makes you the boss of the house, your a cog in that machine, if your always going to moan like a pre-pubescent teenager then your your own worst enemy, again, grow up. Lastly, your a parent now, everything you do is an example to your child, so yeah stop coming online and moaning about how bad your life is when the world has slightly bigger problems at the moment and grow up.

Popular to common misconception's, you can't really "Boost" your immune system but you can certainly help it by keeping it levelled off. Dr John Campbell explains it better than i could (it's also worth watching his daily videos, he seems to be the only one who speaks any sense). Also this

It's not weird, it's just the UK, we have at least 2 season's in one day.

I think you should support local business regardless of there background, it's the only way local communities grow, if we choose to just support business's with owners from our own background then communities become fractured.

The way a lot of the public have handled this whole thing in the west is an embarrassment, there were queues of people yesterday evening wanting to get their fix of processed fast food before McDonald's closed there door's for a few week's, this whole thing is a reset button for us all, we've become too reliant of the like's of Amazon and having everything now, we need to step back for a few weeks and take a long hard look at what we've been doing, when we come back from this we should be supporting small business and local economy, not billionaires who couldn't care less about you. Cashless is already here, this virus being spread with hand contact is just another reason that will be used to push it, it's just not as secure as it should be yet.
