Global capitalist system....what bull. So every year while you are busy cutting costs do you cut your prices to suit ? If you do not then the only person seeing the benefit of your cuts is "self". Thank goodness less than a third of those who can be bothered to vote are not silly enough to be...
Yep this is a massive problem. One that needs deep thought to work out. Because you cant just stop the in work benefits without something in its place. Maybe a much higher minimum wage ? Some clever bod needs to work ot how much it costs region by region to "live". What it costs to eat/heat and...
Well I have hinted at how to stop it within the UK - Invest in the deprived area PROPERLY.
We need more schools ? Build them
We need more teachers ? Bloody well train more and make the position more attractive
Need more doctors and Gp's ? Train within our country
BUT BUT BUT all of that takes...
Benefit culture does indeed exist. It is alive and well in my area in Scotland. BUT the area boasts high unemployment, Bad public transport and there are very few local jobs. Now what is the answer ? Do you want the guy to move to the south east of England to find work ? Plenty have done it (I...
It is available to ANY glasgow branch unite member mate. Self employed/unemployed/employed. It is one of the good things the unite union can do...but they wont do it at other branches as the members need to push the local unite eductaion officer into setting it all up - Shame as their is plenty...
Well you can get the 2395 for free through unite the union. They run the course over 7-8 Saturdays at west of Scotland college in paisley. This is only open to unite members Glasgow branch. Other than that any local tech college will be doing these courses expect near enough £1000 for both...
Well it would suggest that the fabric of the cable is broken somewhere and if it is not at an accessible point you would have to wonder how/why you have lost 1 core out of 3....I suppose a good IR test result could put your mind at rest.....don't mind me im sure I have some sort of OCD lol...
Even if the adiabatic equation showed compliance I would still be c3 with a further investigation required. We are supposed to ensure the install is safe for continued use ans conforms to at least bs7671....You don't just "loose" 1 conductor and do an equation and suddenly the disappearing...
I always took it as read that foreign aid was just a cash reduction on the cost of whatever we as a country were selling the nation in "need". I wonder how many countries we supply aid to actually then buy arms and technology ect from us with the very cash we gave them....then down the line we...
The bloke im on about (owner of said firm) was famed for his cheque writing skills whenever anybody either disagreed with him or stood up to him. He was a five foot bully lol. I knew it was on the cards for me as my nose was never brown enough.
I have come across a few like him in my years...
Ridiculous request - As above will you work for flat rate - in general electrically it must run into the thousands the number of downright stupid requests.
The most stupid question I was asked by an employer was away back when I had just officially come out of my time - Had been doing little...
Think you will find that Tony Martin served his full sentence of 3 years with no parole. Maybe you got confused as he was originally charged with murder but it was reduced to manslaughter. He lives in hiding now as he has a price on his head from friends and family of the man he killed. (travellers)
Hmm I must have watched a different debate. The one I watched saw Cameron not answer one question that the audience asked. He certainly changed the first three as I made a point of moaning about it to my misses. Paxo did a mini number on both of the but at the kill point in each question to...
Between these dates - January 2011 to March 2013 107 people were sent to prison for not paying tv licence. Don't know the most recent figures....we had 180.000 people up in court in 2012 for the same offence. It should be civil nor criminal, just keep taking the tv away if caught, that would...
Further to what Des wrote...I could not disagree more to be fair. Rehabilitation IS in ALL our interests. I would rather a violent offender comes out of prison totally rehabilitated rather than angry and vengeful. The system may have got it's revenge but at what cost ? How high does the...
Tough one as they have every right to "protect" their people in whatever manner they see fit. If we as a country do not approve then we can simply cease to trade with them. Funny old thing drugs and the smugglers ect. They are supplying a demand, I have been around a bit and have never been...
The benefit of the "freedom" we have is we can vote for whoever we like and we don't need to justify it mate, I vote for what I feel is good for me and mine....if my neighbours and friends benefit from the same then great. It just so happens that I have always felt that socialist policies would...
I think the proof that the death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent is the USA's crime rate/murder rate compared as a percentage to ours. BTW you could substitute the usa for any other country with the death penalty. Most murders are heat of the moment by someone known to the victim. Im afraid...
Against it, As much as some things sicken me to the core. I support less prison in general BUT when something merits prison then the convicted should serve a full sentence with a hard regime with forced education/training AND psychiatric help throughout their sentence. I also like the models of...
Well I don't know you only your views...I generally take it as read that your average "old time" spark is reasonably educated. My whole point is you made a statement that you and your customers are better off than you were in may 2010....the national statistics do not support this. Obviously im...
