My boss and I get along really well and have lot of informal discussions during work - That was the first day. Now its constant intimidation and bully tactics. The work isn’t too difficult but it’s rather long and tedious. Since I was diagnosised with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), I can’t concentrate for long periods and need to be constantly entertained. I haven’t revealed my condition as yet but I can’t take this bullying anymore. Its not so much the abuse dished out or him shouting down my throat, its the silence in the office. The pressure is so intense you could cut it with a knife. Whatsomore, the chatty guy called in sick, so it just the two of us! Need Help and fast. I am slowly drowning to the abyss of the unemployment ocean. Cheers Mr. G

I hear Marx got banned? is this true? I have nothing against you Unknown1. nothing but respect and love (!).

are you for real sxb! 'We are still superior to jamaican and other jareers, but only by a small margin' This is a farce!

Originally posted by Warmonger: Majority of somali's in the UK are jaad addicts and lost youth with no jobs or prospects. They are no different than the jamaican ja reers. With that kind of mentality! I pity you. Jamaicans are civilised people who have a functioning country and you have the nerve to sit there and call them jareer! You are backward mate! you really are! As for Khat: its a poor mans drug!

I think everyone has an opinion and it needs to be respected! The truth is relative and very subjective. Its not an issue of right or wrong!

Gello! highest unemployement!!! - every somali i know works - even the "single" mothers' hunsbands. there is this thing called Black Market you know ..... the question for me is "how do we break the cycle" Can you substantiate that? With proven facts! We don’t need anecdotal stories! NGONGE, Ever been called a 'charlie'? I bet your bengali friends call you all sorts of names behind your back!

Sayid, C'mon sxb. I am actually portraying a postive picture of Somalis. Working in Policy, you often come across all these negtive estimations of Somalis, while most are true, sometimes a few of them raise your eyebrows. E.g - Somalis having the highest unemployment rate in the UK. While this is probably true, its partly our fault. When doing the census or any data collecting, Somalis do not declare their occupation. Also all the entrepeurship in the community is never mentioned. Whoes fault is that?

I agree Ibt, but the only way to dispel the misconception surrounding Somalis is through research. Research influences policy. Sayid - do somalis now have their own monitoring caterogisation now? I wasnt sure there a specific category. I understand they have this in Tower Hamlets but this a national wide thing as well? I use to think that East African Asian was for Somalis until i realised it was for Asians from Africa specifically in Kenya,Uganda and TZ. In fact I ticked the boxes many times. I am guessing you're Barking and Dagaham? That woman was a disgrace and the story was true.

There has been a Somali presence in the UK since the nineteenth century at a time when most of the Black Africans living in England were either servants or slaves. Sailors from British Somaliland first settled in port cities of London, Bristol, Liverpool and Cardiff. However, the majority of Somalis now residing in the UK arrived post 1988 when the escalation in civil conflict provoked a mass exodus from the country. Most Somali refugees eventually settled in former colonial countries like Britain, where subsequent migration occurred periodically from the late 1980’s to the present depending on the political situation in Somalia. Although accurate statistics are hard to come by, Somalis represent one of the largest refugee communities in the UK. Between 1985 and the end of 2006, Home Office figures show that Somalia consistently remained in the top ten asylum applicant producing countries in the UK. Despite this, the 2001 Census only gave 43,532 persons as being born in Somalia. Clearly, the under-estimation of Somalis in the UK can be attributed to the failure to classify Somalis as a distinct group of migrants; instead Somalis are subsumed within the closest monitoring category – Black African. Almost all Somali asylum-seekers to arrive in the UK prior to 1998 were granted refugee status or indefinite leave to remain (ILTR), since then the proportion of refused permission to remain has increased considerably and stood at 72% of initial decisions in 2004. Moreover, the Home Office has since decided that those applying for asylum application must confirm proof that they are being persecuted by a state authority. Given this procedure and no functioning central authority in Somalia, it’s very difficult to define exactly what constitutes persecution in the case of a Somali asylum seekers. In recent years the number of Somalis in the UK has dramatically increased, due largely to the arrival of secondary refugee migrants from other European countries, most of whom already gained refugee status or citizenship in their respective countries. This group of migrants have formed a significant number of Somalis entering the UK since 2000 and have settled in cities with already established Somali populations such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield. Any further contributions would be welcomed. This is for independently funded Policy institute. Cheers!

I thought women like a shy guy: Well i suppose somalis are an exception to the rule eh!

Ibt: I doubt, he is a person friend. I am fully aware of his shenanigans.

I wonder what sport event she is taking part in? Well done to Duran Farah for including females in the Somali olympic team. Duran Farah is also part of the TFG! - I once him saw in Dubai. I was in economy and he was in first, I wonder how he could afford such luxury, unless he is bank rolled by TFG. Nice guy though!

Ibt: I went to Hollywood to purse a movie career, albeit limited success thus far, but i do occassionally come down to the projects. How do you know he is from London? NGONGE: He is not so young! i bet your younger than him, despite people constantly calling you old.

That guy waving around the flag use to my teacher!. He aint no athlete.

Cheers mate! Thanks! certainly got my creative juices flowing! Nice link, although i have never found asian women to be a star attraction.
