Bill Winters, CEO of Standard Chartered, speak to CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore and Karen Tso following the global bank’s earnings.
One of the first things I did after seeing the depressing election news this morning was check to see which of my Facebook friends ‘like’ the pages of the Conservatives or David Cameron, and unfriend them. (Thankfully, none of my friends ‘like’ the UKIP page.) Life is too short, I thought, to hang out with people who hold abhorrent political views, even if it’s just online.
This marked a change of heart for me. Usually, I try to remain engaged with such people in the hope that I might be able to change their views through debate. (Admittedly, I don’t always engage constructively with them. Sometimes, late at night, when my brain is too tired to do anything fancy and I spot an offensive tweet by a UKIP supporter, the urge to murder them in 140 characters is too difficult to resist.) Did I do the wrong thing? Should I have kept my Conservative friends?
I’m not so sure. I am attracted by the view that we should all keep the debate open, discuss our political views, take other people’s views into account, and revise and improve our own as we all benefit from this dialogue. I’m attracted by the view that there is such a thing as progress in politics. But—depressingly—I’m far more sceptical than I was yesterday about how much of a difference we can make with political debate. There are several reasons for this.
One is that, in much of British culture, people are uncomfortable with debate about politics. It would, in some circles, be rude to raise the topic of politics over dinner, and to try to change someone’s mind about their political views—well, that’s frankly out of order. We’re much more comfortable talking about the weather, who might win the X Factor, or Kim Kardashian’s arse. The British unwillingness to discuss politics was illustrated today by the sway of the ‘shy Tories’: the people who voted Conservative, but who kept quiet about it in the run-up to the election, and certainly didn’t tell the opinion polls.
Fraudulent misrepresentation
90% of Somalis with Saudi Arabian citizenship are classified as fraudulent seriously and they don’t want to leave me alone because I’m legit .
The significance of a misrepresentation being classified as a fraudulent one is that the measure of damages may be greater under certain circumstances. There are two remedies available for fraudulent misrepresentation: recession and damages.
Representees should attempt a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation with caution, as the courts impose a much higher standard of proof due to the serious allegations. There may also be penalties in the event the claim is not made out.
Logic is a series of concentric circles. (Bear with me.)
There’s the Rational circle, where you are. It’s full of all the logical stuff that you believe because you’re a logical person.
There’s the Irrational circle, outside of the Rational circle. That’s full of all the stuff that most people believe because they’re illogical people.
And then there are some further circles outside that. The realms of fantasy. Stuff that’s too absurd to contemplate.
I’m not usless like a old government horse , I’m one of the most liked Saudi tourists worldwide .
My father obtained Saudi Arabia’s citizenship when local tribes used to own slaves and he could’ve been a slave owner , What’s funy is I’m being harassed now by a former Saudi slave and his wife who are both graduates of the west .
Beautiful people have phobias spcially if they are rich .
My cool neighbors are super rich and all out for me seriously because they know that anybody who meets me will most likely like me seriously .
