[News] Uganda stuck in the Dark Ages?

The link between commonwealth countries and (lack of ) LGBT rights is striking and another part of our colonial legacy to be carefully brushed under the carpet at every opportunity. That of course doesn't excuse the current ignorance and stubborn prejudice of those enacting these laws. Life for LGBT people in Uganda must be hell.

Naming no names (Jacob Rees Mogg), I suspect one or two of the more 'traditional' members of our current government (Jacob Rees Mogg) will be looking wistfully at the Ugandan laws and wishing they could get away with it here (Jacob Rees Mogg).

If I start a thread about the quality of body wash could you turn it into an anti Conservative Party rant?

Me too actually, The Psycho family are off too Antigua next Thursday, I wont tell my daughter as she will probably refuse to go.
Not because she is anything or not, but even at a young age of 13 she has class mates and friends that identify as various sexualities etc and is passionate about peoples rights right across the board.
Which I am proud of considering some of her grandparents views !

Keep em safe at Shirley Heights, seriously.

They are singing and dancing in Parliament rejoicing in the persecution of people who have done nothing to harm them in anyway . There is joy on the face of the politician as he says police will be reinforced so that homosexuals have no space in Uganda, and would we welcome any of those fleeing this and offer safe haven? no, we would try and send them to Rwanda

sorry ...i'll bite , these are the folk that others on this board would welcome openly if they were labelled refugees ....ffs.....cut my f***ing head off....you lot have absolutely no idea what you are dealing with do you...??

Why does that video show the same singing clip sandwiched either side of the speech? I'm not even convinced they are celebrating the Bill being passed with the same clip that's shown. Could well be the opening and closing of the session for all we know.

Albania doesn't appear on that list of countries where being gay is illegal.

There is no civil war in Albania. They are not being attacked by a neighbouring State. There is no famine in Albania. There have been no significant natural disasters in Albania. There is universal suffrage in Albania with regular elections. The judicial system follows the French legal code and is totally independent.

So what are such high numbers of Albanians seeking asylum from?

The Migration Observatory states in its report:-

"There is little evidence in the public domain to explain why Albanians are seeking asylum in the UK in greater numbers at this particular point in time."

Albanian asylum seekers in the UK and EU: a look at recent data - Migration Observatory

This short commentary outlines some key statistics about Albanian asylum seekers in the UK and the EU more broadly.

If we "insta-return" all Albanian "asylum" seekers then our funds and resources can be directed at those who are genuinely fleeing war, famine and persecution and really need our help and support.

I was there 20 odd years back, mostly stayed in resort, way it was then. But over the course of a couple of weeks, my daughters jewellery was stolen from the hotel (returned when we insisted on Police being called), fella threatened me after I inadvertently took a photo of him, and Shirley Heights was a case of keeping young females safe. But. I honestly mostly enjoyed the holiday, just ba aware of your surroundings.
