As we've inherited the path of nonviolence followed by Gandhi &the rest of the world also looks at India &all Indians the same way. I want to share a small story from Gandhi in his lifetime. Once a parent approached Gandhi to advice their small son to stop eating sweets. Gandhi sent them away and told them to come after two days, because Gandhi himself wasn't following what the parent asked him to do. Gandhi stopped eating sweets before he could tell someone not to do what he himself wasn't doing. The boy and the parents came after two days just as Gandhi had said. Gandhi now told the little boy that he must stop eating sweets, because sweets aren't good for health. The parent and the boy went away happily after they had Gandhi advice the little biy , because the boy wouldn't listen to them and they wanted Gandhi to help their son to stop eating sweets.

A decision to push changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol unilaterally which by letter is an International Agreement. Why it can't be pushed, because it's an international agreement. The agreement ensures fishing rights between two nations and that solely ensures that the agreement cannot be changed unilaterally.

They are refugees not on a world tour. To treat them well with dignity and respect is more important than any other. It's difficult to draw the lines. We cannot treat them lesser than the respect and dignity we expect from ourselves. There might not be laws in place in the present to deal with them. Above everything one law tells us to treat our fellow humans well if not better than we give for ourselves. They need your love from others who are better off than them. They don't expect you to clothe them, feed them, shelter them and educate them and make them an useless product. I sincerely hope the above sentence explains exactly what I meant to say. Please, please, please don't hurt them. They have had enough rhetorics and they know more of it than you can make them l
