Ok then Rogue.........what could possibly happen if South Korea decide the North is being serious and strikes the first blow? Get in first so to speak, a bit like Israel could do against Iran?
Is that possible?

In the past two, maybe three years the North has torpedoed a South Korean warchaip with the loss of 40 odd lives. They have opened an artillery barrage against southern positions and a rocket attack against an island on the border. The south has not retaliated, so it would be unlikely that they will strike the first blow given that they have shown restraint so far.

When did you turn into yoda ?
Personally speaking I would tie my slave in the corner of the room nice and tight. Then I would fuck my wife, and maybe some other guys would, with the slave watching but with his cock in a chastity device.
There are no excuses for the level of treatment that was discovered in the Stafford hospital review. However I thinks it's a step too far to say that the nursing profession as a whole does not care.
And do you know why they have the worst beaches? Because the beaches are in the nasty north :haha:
I'm not assuming anything. If he gets 28 out of 30 distinctions he has a place on a nursing course from September. If he didn't start training until September 2014 he would have to undertake another year of hands on healthcare prior to starting his cours, in addition to the things he has already had to do.

The whole perception people have of employments makes me laugh to be honest, everyday I see people with "We are Professionals" on their profile, most of the time the word professional is spelt wrong

Oh how I laughed at this one smile In general I agree with your full post and seem to remember the subject being discussed many times before.
Returning to the OP:
My youngest brother is 24. He got a first class business degree and afterwards he returned home and took a job as a receptionist for an NHS facility. He has trained in phlebotomy and carries out shifts in this role several times a week. He also works in the sexual health clinic. Last summer he spent 6 weeks in Africa attempting to stem the flow of STD's by providing sexual health advice and screening to people living in the back of beyond. He also finds time to work as a healthcare assistant from time to time in a local hospital. In fairness he works damn hard and is fully committed to a future nursing career. What's the point of my post? Well he has had to do all this just to prove his commitment and get enrolled on an access to nursing course! Not even a nursing course, just the one that he needs to get accepted for a nursing course. It seems to me that there are plenty of hoops to jump through already.

I don't disbelieve you your probably right, it is just that I saw an MP (in charge of stuff like that) some years ago on TV fending off people saying it was wrong and she said we had no choice it was an EU law/rule that said we had to pay it, she never said we could change our own laws/rules to sort the problem out and all those years ago too, time we did something positive then and changed it. 50,000 kids on an average of £15 per child per week, 4 Billion a year saving to be made without upsetting a single UK citizen

I'm not sure where you get the figure of £4 billion per year in child benefit being paid for children that aren't resident in the UK. The actual figure is around £45-50 million. Considerably less.

I'll just get on and make my own luck.

Had much lately on the swinging front? :rascal:
If you have flower then please let us know the secret! It's like the Sahara around here, there is so much drought :undecided:

Don't care, stand by what I said, the EU is making us pay the benefit based on our laws, I still say we should be able to choose wether we give benefits to everyone or just UK residents, we should tell the EU we want to keep our laws but we will not pay it to children not living in this country

You just don't seem to understand that we already are able to choose who we pay benefits to. It is our law, enacted by our parliament that has chosen to pay for children not resident in the UK. If we changed our law then the Regulation would still make us pay child benefit to non native children from the EU, but only the ones that live here.
Quote by MidsCouple24
All you have said is why we have to pay it, we still have to pay it nothing has changed

I never claimed anything would change did I? I've just tried to point out that we pay child benefit to children outside the UK because of our rules not the rules of the EU. If the EU regulation was at fault then every country in the EU would have to do the same, not just five of them.

The PM is either totally stupid or just electioneering, but if he thinks that people wont see through it then he is totally stupid, I guess that makes him totally stupid.
Now if he had said he was going to get the EU rules changed to say that immigrants would only get the same benefits they would get in the country of origin we would have the immigration problem solved.

I agree, there is a high level of stupidity when it comes to this issue.
Now if you read my previous post you will see why you are barking up the wrong tree.

There are people here saying stuff her who support keeping terrorists in this country and paying thousands for them while wanting to take a disabled pensioners dogs from her.

Would you mind substantiating that spurious claim?
For the record: I am not attention seeking and going for the controversial answer because they I to feel important. I'm just interested who is breaking the Terrorism Act so I can shop them.

just an idea.....
but what about no matter what country you no reside in....if claiming benifiets, you only get what your country of Birth would have paid out.
This would mean people would not want to travel to a country where their benifiet allowance would not really sustain them......but they might be willing to travel there if honestly looking for work !!!

That is never going to happen Dean under EU law, that we are still in. For that to happen we would either have to renegotiate UK laws or vote UKIP and get out of Europe altogether.
I said that as well, that we had to get the EU to change the rules dunno starting to understand the forum rules now :uhoh:
To stop Jed from moaning that everyone is picking on him (again) lets look at a few facts here.
There is no need for the EU to change it's , it is our society and welfare state that is too blame.
the vast majority of EU countries do not pay child benefit for offspring living outside their territory. The only ones that do, are the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands and, of course, us.
How can this be so? Surely if the EU’s social security rules are supposed to be harmonised they must apply equally in every country? The regulations are extremely complex, but the reason that benefits are paid on a different basis across the EU depends on whether entitlement is based on residency or employment. If the former, then payments are made only to families actually living in the country; if the latter, then they can be made overseas.
We fall into the latter category and now support nearly 50,000 children resident abroad at a cost of around £50 million a year in benefit and child credit. This from a total welfare state bill of £215 billion for the year to 31 Dec 2012.
Because our own laws stipulate that benefits are based on employment (or lack of it) we are responsible for picking up the bill. If our laws were based on residency in the UK then the benefits could not be paid for children who are not in this country. Therefore the EU regulation is not essentially at fault here, just the way our legal system interprets it.
I can see the middle ground in this argument.
The woman has every right to keep her pets. It's her lifestyle choice.
She also has every right to remain where she is and forego the £14 per week. It's her lifestyle choice.
But to go on TV bemoaning the changes to the welfare system and plead for sympathy whilst appearing unwilling to change her lifestyle seems a bit hypocritical.
Follow pink's good advice and you can't go far wrong. however that doesn't help if you want to be able to display the rest of your comments, so unfortunately the only way is to delete the individual comments if and when they appear.

I'm not sure what your key point is. Are you suggesting people should not donate to TroopAid cos it is small and only helps a small proportion of the military population?

Of course I am not. I even said I was not knocking what they do.
The impression that they give to people is that every serviceman that gets injured in Afghanistan gets one of their grab bags, but the reality is that it tends to be troops with non battle injuries from other areas of the world.
Never, I repeat NEVER, ask Mrs T to pick a film. She has many talents, but picking film is not one of them. Anyone else sat through 'Leprechaun' ?
And then the sequel?
I rest my case.
Troop aid are a small charity and therefore do a small amount to support our troops. Please don't get me wrong, I am not knocking what they do, or why they do it..
However the only troops that arrive in the UK 'with nothing but their shot-up clothing' are those that were at the furthest reaches of our pioneering surgery. Perhaps 20 in the last ten years.
Troops arriving back to the UK from Cyprus or the Falkland Islands are more than likely to be in civilian clothes, and those coming home from Afghanistan wear uniform too. Many units that go to Afghanistan ensure that their troops have a 'going home' uniform and that is the one they wear, sometimes only parts of it, when the guys return.
As I said, troop aid does a good niche job to assist the guys and girls out there; But their role is very small and generally only meets the needs on non frontline troops that have sustained an injury through sports, booze or physical activity rather than warfighting. Where their true value comes to its own is when an airman, sailor or soldier arrives back in the UK and they bridge the gap between the man's unit looking after him and his family.

Cheers Trev :cheers:

It's a bit early for me, but I'll have a beer later ;)
Ah, I see it is later. :cheers:
Thats a fair example, but as I said I'm not sure it's legal. There are far better business minds than mine on this forum, one of them will probably be able to shed light onto the matter.
I just get the feeling that it would break some trade agreement or be against a competition law somewhere.
For what it's worth I think you are doing the right thing by not appearing on the show. As you said the programme makers would pick people with opposing views just to stir things up a bit. One couple that springs to mind are the one's that refused a gay couple to use their facility and were successfully sued recently.
I think that if you appeared on the show it might be a bit of a laugh and some short term publicity, but not all publicity is good. Your assurances of discretion would mean nothing once you had been on national TV, not to mention how it might affect your standing in the local community.

Me I would have lowered or removed the VAT on products made in Britain to boost production in UK factories, if other countries object I have a finger to show them, I am sure they would resist refusing to deal with the UK, resist the temptation to stop selling us cars ad other products.
The loss of VAT income would be compensated by the increased tax revenues from greater sales of UK made products and a decrease in unemployment.

I'm not sure whether it would be legal, but it certainly makes some sense on paper.
