Just want to pick people's brains on how likely an acquaintance is likely to get back into the country - he chose to fly back to the states for a family funeral. He's American, and arrived here on a spousal visa with his wife (originally American, now has an EU nationality) in 2016. I'm presuming it got renewed sometime in 2018. They split up in the covid times, and he finally, just under a year later moved out of the flat (via A&E ) and onto the sofa of a mutual friend. Whilst the wife didn't tell the HO that they've split up, I can't see her bothering to have renewed the visa again, and I think it would have expired sometime this year. He found a job in July (as a cleaner, so it's neither well paid nor 'skilled'), but I don't think it qualifies for a working visa. He's also still living on a sofa rather than having a permanent home. Best case really is that he decides to stay in the states and we ship his various belongings to him, but if he decides to come back, is he likely to be able to get back in? Cat Tax

That videos pretty horrible all round really. Don't think that it's really illustrative of anything other than that drugs and/or poor mental health can really gently caress you up, and that the police are incredibly poorly equipped to deal with it.

And that modern masculinity gives some men few avenues to communicate other than kicking each other through a busted up window. And that some modern UPVC doors are far more poo poo than what the fitters claim.

if you don't provide proper schemes for the young people where they can learn important life skills such as writing a strongly worded letter to put across their point of view, then grown half-nekit men vandalising people's modern PVCed double-glazing and babbling incoherently about bum-oles is exactly what you end up with imo

Quick inflation/maths question. I'm trying to work out real-terms wages trends since 2012 for my union ahead of pay negotiations next year, and want to make sure I'm not loving it up. Basically my approach is taking the historic CPI rates for each year, and multiplying them together to get a "since 2012" adjustment factor. So, for example, multiplying all the rates from 2012 to 2020 together makes around 20% (thanks, compound growth) which I'd then divide the 2021 salary by to account for all the inflation since 2012. So £43,153 in 2021 pounds is worth about £35,907 in 2012 pounds, meaning someone who's had that "raise" is actually worse off in real terms than they were on their salary of £37,960 back in 2012. Does that make sense or am I making some horrible error?

I'm not sure what else the police could have done in that situation, though I might have preferred a physical tackle to a taser (given the risks that a taser comes with) That happens afterwards is where the "poorly equipped" will be apparent - there's little chance he's going to get appropriate treatment

Maybe it's possible a more gentle approach focused on de-escalation could have led to a happier outcome, but as I say, I'm no expert.

Yes, if that salary had risen with inflation of 20% total it would be 45.5k so that’s a real-terms pay cut e: according to this site it’s been more like 23% since 2012 so that should actually be £46690, and that’s only to 2020: https://inflation.iamkate.com/ Noxville fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Dec 6, 2021 |

He should have a biometric residence permit/BRP. If it says it's valid then it's valid unless the ex-wife has decided to gently caress him. if it's expired the either he applies for a renewal abroad or he gets deported at the border. Once you actually have a visa it's actually pretty clear cut what you are/aren't allowed to do.

GreyjoyBastard posted:While the savings account thing is entirely new to me, the US has double taxation treatiea with most of the world, where you can deduct taxes paid to one country from tax liability to the other. Up to a certain income. After that you gotta pay tax, it's 80k-ish in the UK I believe. More importantly, for most people, you are still required to file a US tax return even if you are under the income limit. The bank account thing (not just savings) is about reporting requirements re: money laundering and stuff and is not just the UK but worldwide, yeah. Banks just don't want to have to deal with that poo poo so it's easier to just deny expatriate Americans local bank accounts. Meanwhile, every sane country other than I think Eritrea? Only taxes people on income if they are in fact living in said country when earning said income. The US is a massive outlier here, not that that's exactly unusual. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Dec 6, 2021 |

sebzilla posted:Quick inflation/maths question. I'm trying to work out real-terms wages trends since 2012 for my union ahead of pay negotiations next year, and want to make sure I'm not loving it up. an index would normally be published against a base year, so you would not need to multiply a chain of percentages each time (which can rapidly accumulate a rounding error). Instead, just divide once to go from 2012 to "base year", then multiply back to get it back to 2021 UK unions normally favour the RPI instead of the CPI (as the RPI is usually higher, implying a greater inflation rate)
