I - One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II - The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III - One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV - The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V - Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI - People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII - Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

You're more than welcome to go to Brackendowns Police Station and ask them for the statement. The date of the heist was 15/11/2001, and the statement was written on 16/11/2001. The incident occurred in Brackenhurst at a property on Appelgrein street. As a side note, do you know how much debt SA is in with the IMF and the World Bank? Go and ask the ANC why they had to lend over $5 billion from American banks. You believe the lies but don't believe the truth.

@AdventPhi @WaraWaat @HalalisaniBulu2 @jacksonhinklle That's a good point. She should be called Gogo Ples, not Mrs Ples, because she's basically all of our great granny πŸ˜‚

I hope you realise that the Bantu tribes in South Africa are also, by definition, colonisers. They only arrived in southern Africa in the early 1800s. Also, since 94 there has been countless opportunity to turn SA into a thriving country. This has not happened, under the ANC government. There are billions of Rands that go missing every year that should be used to improve the lives of people, but corrupt politicians are stealing from us. If you want to see Mzansi thrive, stop blaming the past and start building a positive future.

@WaraWaat @HalalisaniBulu2 @jacksonhinklle There is a lot of archeological evidence that supports this history. Are you able to provide any evidence to the history I have described as being false?

Labour, as pointed out by @starrjimmy100 , are deporting people who have expired work visas. Once again I must stress that these people would have been scrutinised before entering the UK. We are aware of any crimes or political affiliations prior to them getting approval to enter the UK. If they have a criminal background, or are associated to political groups who are deemed criminal, they are not granted the visa. If ones visa has expired, making social claims is near impossible. On the other hand, illegal immigrants enter the country with us having no idea of their background, previous crimes or political affiliations. These illegal immigrants are housed and subsidised. My original point was that Labour should focus on what the people are asking for, i.e. stopping illegal immigration. People with expired visas are here illegally, and should be deported. However, we do have an idea of their past and character, so they don't pose any substantial threat.

Do you understand the concept of debate? No goal posts moved. Just stressing points about Labour's loss of direction, as opposed to doing what needs to be done. I don't claim that the Tories are or were any different. Mass majority of politicians are self-serving. The people who had visas, who then overstayed, have gone through a vetting process (i.e. We have some sort of idea of their past and who they are). The illegal immigrants don't go through any vetting process but are entering the UK and then being housed and fed at the taxpayers' expense. This places a greater burden on the already struggling NHS and social services.

You miss the point in its entirety. Illegal immigration is the major concern, not people who have been vetted and granted a work visa, then stayed longer than they should have. Do you know anyone who has had to apply for a visa to work in the UK? It's a vastly different procedure to entering the country illegally. How many people crossing the Channel would actually be granted a work visa? You'll find that most of those people with expired visas were still actually working, as opposed to illegal immigrants who are housed and funded with taxpayer money.

@MattHMajn @starrjimmy100 @UKLabour In the UK, posting a meme can be seen as illegal. My point is that people want an end to illegal immigration. Word salad doesn't change that

That's insane! I was held up at gunpoint in my own home. When the police arrived the morning after the heist, both "officers" smelled strongly of beer, were clearly inebriated, and the "officer" who was writing the statement was unable to spell, so I actually wrote the statement for him.

@MattHMajn @starrjimmy100 @UKLabour Thanks for the perspective, @starrjimmy100 @MattHMajn knowing this, the majority of people who have been deported by Labour actually entered the country legally however, continued to stay illegally. The deportations don't equate to the numbers of people who enter illegally.

@MattHMajn @UKLabour That's brilliant to hear! Imagine if they spent the time and money on stopping illegal immigration, rather than the campaign they're currently promoting? Or is this campaign how they are finding illegal immigrants to deport?

Of course I will! Natal is on the east coast of South Africa. You'll notice that I said "South Africa" not the "Republic of South Africa." The area of Natal is now officially named KwaZulu Natal. However, it was previously known as Natal, which was probably reference to Port Natal (Now Durban). Port Natal was the name given to the natural port discovered by Vasco Da Gama in 1497, some 300 years prior to the Zulu people reaching this beautiful coastal area. Natal has an interesting history. The Bantu migration from Central West Africa saw the Zulu people arrive in Natal in the early 1800s, as they continued their southern migration. At this time, there was already a thriving Dutch colony in what is now known as Cape Town. When the Dutch East India company first established this colony, they met and traded with the original inhabitants of south and southern Africa, the !Xoi people. Unfortunately for the !Xoi people, the southern migration of the Bantu people was not such a great encounter, as they were most often greated with spears, driving the peaceful !Xoi people south. Please let me know if you need any further assistance with the history of South Africa.
