It's actually whatever foreign policy the USA dictates. The UK is just the willing tool.I agree to an extent. It is not 'our foreign policy'. It is the foreign policy of the government of the United Kingdom, yes. If the voting public were fully aware of the true rationale behind such cretinous adventurism as that happening in Ukraine, I'm certain they wouldn't vote for it.
No one forces them to do it, and they have their own reasons for joining. Money I would imagine is not top of the agenda.
Not in this country but in the US a lot of people join up to pay for education.No one forces them to do it, and they have their own reasons for joining. Money I would imagine is not top of the agenda.
I suspect many people join up for adventure and to see a bit of the world rather than any overwhelming sense of patriotism.Would you put your life on the line for orhers? You'd run a mile. They don't get paid enough end of.
Quite right , the 20% is ridiculous, totally ridiculous20% Pay rise, they're having a laugh.
They don't get my support at all.
When they were offered 3% by the Gov, I was in full support of them because that was taking the Biscuit, now they're taking the Biscuit.
NHS could afford that is they sorted themselves out from the top, stopped wasting so much money on everythingQuite right , the 20% is ridiculous, totally ridiculous
It should be a LOT more than that!
They have been screwed for years and the public doesn’t give a **** - until they have a loved one in a bad way, and then the public appreciates them for 5 mins
Most of the money wasted is by the general public not taking responsibility for their own health care. You would not believe the wastage caused by Joe Public not doing what their doctor tells them to do or applying some basic common sense. If you made a film people would last go and say “ that wouldn’t happen”.NHS could afford that is they sorted themselves out from the top, stopped wasting so much money on everything
Same prices / queue situation again today.E10 unleaded petrol now 144.9p at Toomeys. All pumps open and long queues. If you are nearer to Tesco, Prince Avenue, then it is the same price there as well.
Are these day rates or seasonal? Very little gas is bought on dayrates because of how volatile the price is (a lot of the smaller companies did buy a lot of their gas at the dayrates and subsequently went bust when those rates skyrocketed). Instead most energy companies effectively agree with wholesalers to buy energy for X months at a fixed price (similar to how you might agree to a fixed term mortgage).petrol aside. the price of gas and electricity is collapsing. there may be some deals soon from energy providers if this keeps up. power prices may fall below the 'cap'
I remember when the clap for the NHS thing was going on some people were called misery guts for saying that a lot of the people clapping deep down didn't really care about the NHS and were doing it more to feel good about themselves.Quite right , the 20% is ridiculous, totally ridiculous

I wonder how many people that clapped for the NHS are now getting angry at them for daring to put their foot down after years of underpayment?
We all have different view points. I would suspect few with first hand knowledge of how doctors and nurses are treated by the system AND Joe Public would agree with your sentiments.A lot I should imagine if they're not getting treatment and I don't blame them.
And he likes it What a dick.We all have different view points. I would suspect few with first hand knowledge of how doctors and nurses are treated by the system AND Joe Public would agree with your sentiments.
John Stonehouse did to name one…Any chances of having a few MPs 'mysteriously disappear'....?
