I just loved, loved, loved this news story.

It made me wonder, does the UK have a fast track for migrants who demonstrate outstanding citizenship, courage, loyalty or otherwise exemplify UK values - so not just the wealthy or those who have a job lined up? I think it would be a fantastic way to reward people who deserve it, model good citizenship and create new role models.


What does anyone else think? It's got 'Harry & Meghan' written all over it.

Glad you've learned the error of your ways, RH.


Flockerspotter, have you ever said anything kind or supportive on this forum? I only ever seem to see digs which looks like you're trying to stir things up. Maybe I'm wrong.

I can't understand how the child clung on for so long.


Brilliant outcome, as Ilona says, and I hope the child's father is suitably punished.


ETA: Don't think he was a toddler, apparently he was four. Child not father, obvs.

Young Man when will you realise, like most of us, that your place is in the wrong !

Have to say as someone who can be to the right of Genghis Khan, certainly Kubla Khan anyway that this is a fantastic story and has gone viral and the great news is he is assured of a place in the Country and has secured a job as a Fireman so well done Mamoudou Gassama :)

We don't have any in the same way as one of the Countries in The UK...that pesky England do not have any Culture to call theor own and preserve.


Which is a shame because almost every other Nation on earth does have a Culture...

We'd have given the guy an MBE then Theresa May would have accidentally repatriated him to the wrong country.

I've no idea either but I believe they're in the citizenship test. Queuing must be in there, and saying yes, thank you, the food's lovely, when the waiter asks then complaining about it all night.

A lot of the 'facts' being tested in the citizenship test have been found to be erroneous!! Maybe that's the basis of the British values we're all searching for ...


Personally, it really drives me up the wall to hear politicians trying to adopt a British version of the American Dream.

With all the negative press about illegal immigrants which reduce them to something less than human, it's a great story of a real human being who is a real hero. Makes me think that many, if not most, of the people who risk life and limb to get "somewhere" other than where they currently live, deserve more than hostility, and certainly more than many, if not most people, who come to their natural citizenship because they were born to the manor.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
