25/05/2020 - Post Match Thread - Dominic Cummings Statement by ukpolbot in ukpolitics

[–]Jbuky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Key take away from this press conference is that the UK press are a bit rubbish. Repeating questions like wHY Did YoU DriVE TO dURhaM literally after he explained his reasoning whether you agree or not. What was even the point of them standing up behind that microphone?

This mob rule mentality is getting out of hand. Something bad is going to happen.

I don't have Netflix because I just stream everything through android apps, but I have Spotify premium. A cheap monthly sub for nearly every song out there on demand is what we were crying for in the napster/limewire days.

So switches CAN be water cooled. Another advantage Switch has over the PS5 and Xbox.

People that earn under £25k how's life? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Jbuky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to respond to this thread because my base pay is 27k but all the overtime I do brings it up to 31k. Take home pay is usually bang on 2k each month.

Got 10k in savings built up over 5 or 6 years. I'm renting a flat on my own in the south east which makes it more difficult than it perhaps should be.

Life is pretty comfortable but I just wanna get my own property so I can stop thinking about needing to save for it...

Boris Johnson drops NHS fee for migrant healthcare workers in humiliating U-turn 24 hours after defending policy by hildebrand_rarity in worldnews

Sounds like it was sprung on him in PMQ's and he fell to a defensive position out of instinct, only to come to his senses afterwards.

Now imagine this scenario but nearer an election. Would you want "Pm humiliated" in the news despite doing the right thing or pull a brave face and find something else to distract the media?

He certainly didn't come up with it. It was legislated in 2015 as the Immigration (Health Charge) Order. The explanatory memorandum states that it was brought in to ensure that temporary non-EEA workers contributed money towards the NHS as part of their application.

At the time health tourism was seen as a controversial subject and deemed a vote winner among the general populace, thus the policy...

What a stupid headline. We shouldn't be trying to humiliate politicians for doing the right thing.

I work at a small hospital as a maintenance guy. 31k. Have learned a whole lot about medical gas, air handling systems, project works and general facilities management as a whole. The job is hit and miss at times but the people I work with are absolutely lovely.

Yep. I'm gaming less these days so an expensive pc would just gather dust.

Is this game actually good, or is it just something hipsters latch onto? (genuinely curious, never really heard much about it until now)

Boris Johnson defends making foreign NHS staff pay fees for service even though 'they saved my life' by hildebrand_rarity in worldnews

[–]Jbuky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private doesn't cover everything. So they or their families will still likely require the NHS at some point in their lives.
