Destroying thousands of biographies at the stroke of a pen... Why am I not surprised that there seems to be no governmental contigency plan in order to mitigate the consequences for the students, who - let us not forget this - have paid an exorbitant amount of tuition fees...

Why should you be surprised at all? You are notoriously known by every level headed contributor on this educative forum of dissuading foreign nationals from studying in the UK for the reasons best known to you.
Surprisingly; whenever I ask you to calm down your rants at foreign students, the usual chorus voice I get from your comrades is " no names calling".
Where do you stand now? I don't want to give you any name at this present time but I will leave the reasonable ones to judge you on the basis of your previous posts. Double standard!

@ Y.K Thomas - are you an Indian citizen? I assume so :D

Wrong assumption. But have respect for every human being regardless of their nationalities and stop thinking like Flori and his followers.What makes you different from an Indian? And when I instruct people like you to bury your bigot/prejudice views about foreigners, the chorus voice: "no names calling" and the thread closes. We are living in a modern and civilised society. People like hawkeme and Flori must learn to change.

Y.K Thomas - you got me wrong. I assumed you are Indian (or SE Asian for that matter).
PS: I'm not a racist, nor am I against intercultural strenghtening.

Hawkme -: I am glad to hear that you are not thinking like him but be mindful and watchful of your posts and don't just draw into conclusion(s) wihout critical thinking as you initially assumed. We are all the same . I will keep on making constructive criticisms about Flori's irresponsible and disproportionate comments until he stops those bigotory posts. We must not give him (Flori) space to spread his ill-conceived thoughts about foreigners.
Anyway! Who does Flori think he is kidding now?

I'm a regular visitor of this forum and haven't seen one irresponsible or disproportionate comments by flori. Instead I always find his comments useful and well-founded. I haven't seen any negative comments about foreign lawyers either.
YK Thomas, before you continue your rants, please show me one of those posts you are talking about.

Heinz- I hope you are not defending indefensible. Are u? Before you can conclude that Flori's commnets are "well-founded" as claimed in your post, have the guts to trace his sacarstic threads since 19/02/2007 regarding foreign lawyers and other prospective students with potentials to pursue their studies in the UK.Until you have done this basic home work followed by good reasoning, I will ask you to stop arguing blindly and join me to to put that guy into perspective. I have no personal vendetta against Flori but strongly dislike his hyprocrisies and sacarsms.
Posted Sep 05, 2012 07:39
Y.K. Thomas - I understand your point. I have done my "homework" and looked through flori's past threads. Still, I couldn't find any anti-foreign posts by flori. Instead, I found posts encouraging foreign students to go for an LLM:
Q: "Only one more question: How are the job prospects for this field of law?"
flori: "Solid and definitely better than for the fields usually hyped on this forum. Still, the LLM does not amount to a job guarantee..."
http://www.llm-guide.com/board/109369/last/#last
Q: "Any idea about the job prospect for these LLM??? I can figure that the job market for this field should be quite small as there are not many LLM
flori: "Whilst the market is one of the smaller legal-submarkets, it offers a _very decent_ "entry positions"/"yearly graduates"-ratio, which leads to better career options than in the more popular (one might be tempted to say "hyped") areas.

Can you please substantiate your claims by posting links to flori's posts where he expresses any " ill-conceived thoughts about foreigners."?

i think the British government should recover and refund full fees with interest to all the affected students. if a universty or institute does not have potential or have fallen in its standerds, it should not be allowed to operate merely to earn funds at the interest and at the cost of students.
Posted Sep 05, 2012 08:03
Other objective and reasonable users of this forum will recall Flori's distasteful comments since 19/02/2007 which I always condemn. There should be no dithering on that. Hypocrisy, sacarsms, bigotry etc have no plcae to flourish in the modern world. I rest my case and wish everyone great day at work
Posted Sep 05, 2012 08:22
YK Thomas: Please stop your general accusations and give us just one example of "Flori's distasteful comments".

Dear all
Since I joined this forum I have never found anyone more helpful than Flori. You can check my posts... but more important: since a lot of time she and I have been maintaining a large correspondance through P.M and she has always assisted me with ANY doubt,....frankly, I cannot complain about her
please, calm down and relaxed
peace for everyone

I wish I could rest my case as I initially said.But I wonder why people are blind folded and keep on saying hossana to Flori's venoms. Whether he , she or it, they guy is very crafty and has no respect for foreign lawyers. I am not surprised to see people jumping in to defend him/her claiming to be a German national sometimes. Track his/her posts since he/she became a registrant member of this noble site! I am prepared to avoid my anonymity and show my real nationality/name and face that guy squarely. He/she is a typical hypocrite and has been making mockery of people who try to seek genuine help/assistance via this forum. He can hide in front of his screen by using various names but will be brought to justice one day

Flori is German, which I know for a fact since we both attended the same scholarship program while pursuing our LL.M in the UK.
Likewise, he has no interest in deterring foreign students from studying and becoming lawyers in the UK. However, he has an interest in showing prospective students that an LL.M. is not a career booster per se, albeit the universities often imply otherwise in order to attract more oversea students, which pay higher tuition fees than national/EU Students.
In short, Flori's message is that whether an LL.M. serves your career depends on your particular situation. There are many reasons for pursuing an LL.M., travelling abroad, having a good time etc. However, if you invest a lot of money in order to enhance your career, you better make sure that it's worth it.
This reasoning may be more helpful for prospective students than your superb advice to "pray and your dreams come true", as you eloquently put it in one of your previous posts. In a nutshell:
Unlike you, Flori has actually studied in the UK.
Unlike you, Flori does not attack individual users on this forum.
Unlike you, Flori gives prospective students genuine advice concerning their studies in the UK.
Unlike you, Flori actually contributes to this forum's aim.
Your irrational rants have served as a continuous source of amusement on this forum. Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that, on the basis of the overall reaction to your previous posts, nobody here cherishes your opinion on this particular topic.
If you want to contribute to this forum, please stop this nonsense and write something sensible.

To: Pit possum and his counterparts
Sorry I had all my education in the UK from good Universities. You are funny indeed and stop thinking like a toddler.
However, if someone had their studies from other jurisdictions, please don't classify them as 2nd class or sub-standard professionals. It is clearly evidenced from your posts that you don't have respect for foreigners. You are a sheer disgarce and let me point it out clear to you that your role model- Flori is not a German national. You and others who think like Flori must change. I have been following his posts/comments since 2007 and think I should warn him to desist from such unacceptable conduct. I pray that he reforms and God will forgive him. Once again, I did not obtain my law degrees from Africa nor bogus Universities as you and Flori presume. I was not lectured by half baked -professors. I was privileged to be taught by leading professionals and academics whose works are referenced in Courts and lecture rooms. I am just appaled at the despicable manner you guys rate foreigners. Base on you post, I know where you belong to .It stinks. Kick it out please!
