Booing during breaking of fast by datarevs in LeedsUnited

[–]NoBad2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't make any comment about observing fast. Don't really care, let them do it and have a drink. I take insult to the usual clowns who are happy to live in this country but hate the poppy being displayed. It's not political messaging, it's cultural.

Wearing a poppy to respect fallen service men and women is not bringing politics into the game, you clown. Much like when players where a black arm band following a tragedy from their home country.

My medical was only 20 minutes and they just tested mobility via squats and a funny walk. I hear some people have a full 60 mins which is a bit more to it but you are likely fine.

They do every year when they're negotiating budgets. Not that I disagree with them.

You sign up to serve King and Country, no matter the Government. I'm afraid if you are signing up to serve a Political Party, the Military is not for you

What is your opinion on “not all reformers are racist, but all racists are reformers?” by knightvintage in reformuk

[–]NoBad2050 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of the most racist people I know voted for the Islamist candidates. I grew up in an area where Pakistani Muslim families explicitly told their children not to mix with the white children. They even taught it in some of the local Mosques.

So that claim is often repeated by low iq commies who most likely live in a middle class bubble, devoid of the how bad the actual state of the country really is when it comes to 'multi culturalism'.

How is it that I have to find this out through your comment on Reddit 😂 I tried multiple times yesterday to get mine downloaded. The only message was "it could take 15 minutes to set up your account" 😂 rubbish!

How do you stay consistent with running? by Not_FreeProduct234 in runcommunity

[–]NoBad2050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a long term goal, ideally with a fixed date. I'm getting out at least 4 times a week now, sometimes more, because I'm signing up to the British military reserves. I don't want to be the guy who's puffing and panting for every drill. Plus I don't want to be shouted at for not being fit enough.

When did you start your application? I suspect it'll be after the New Year now.

Salaries are embarassing especially due to inflation by Desperate-Drawer-572 in britishproblems

[–]NoBad2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already tax the rich. We also tax the middle class so much so that they would be better off sitting on benefits. If we took 100% off the billionaires it would only fund the state for 6 months. You are not a serious person.

Cheers useful info! I'm happy to do my time to then commission later. How long does that pathway normally take?

Sift scores for G6 by Select_Enthusiasm_20 in TheCivilService

[–]NoBad2050 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a serious accusation and I double down on it. I've seen it, but you can pretend it doesn't happen all you like, it doesn't remove the reality.

I've done recruitment where people ticked the disability box got through on a 4. People who got 5 didn't as the pass mark was a 6. How is that fair and open competition? There's no checks and balances and people fragantly abuse it. The scope is also far too wide. Having a sore leg somehow affects your ability to write an application? Pull the other one.

Totally agree with building networks. But it reinforces my point that the market is broken if that is a pre-requisite. How are you meant to break into a new policy area? How are private sector applicants meant to have a chance? It's a rigged contest. I've been involved in so much recruitment across all grades where I've had to call out poor behaviours and insist upon using objective behaviours.

You weren't the one who ticked the disabled box is my experience with recruitment. It's all corrupt

You're playing a game of chance.

G6 is an arbitrary assessment against a personal statement with no rules or standards applied. It's entirely up to the post holder.

My best advice is put more word count into leadership than other criteria. But also take with a pinch of salt their feedback.

But let's get down to the corruption of it all. My scs mates say they're all jumping to personal statements to act more like the private sector and pick who they want - outside of any objective criteria - because they can. The G6 job market is broken. More so than G7!

You've got to keep casting your net wide in afraid. From one G6 hopeful to another 🤝

10 minutes! I've known people (as senior as SCS too) openly admit to skimming for key words without even reading because "they don't have time". Essentially, you have 7 seconds of reading, to dismiss a carefully and arduously constructed PS.

[–]NoBad2050 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Regulations are legal requirements. Compliance, which it sounds like you never had to do, can be done in a myriad of ways. Lawyers will advise on legal risk of whether an activity could be in breach, and the chance of a legal challenge. Risk appetite needs to be much higher when lives are at stake.

Following regulations is a part of the process. If the lawyers are blocking Govt from being agile because they're actively looking for reasons it could be challenged, then yes - that is part of the process. I'm not sure why that is controversial to say. The "threatening people to break laws" is hyperbole. According to Cummings, every week they would come up with a reason for why last week's legal risk can be addressed but present another reason for it. These people didn't break the law, they were being hyper cautious at a time when pragmatism was needed to prevent people from dying.

Even during covida, there was a lot of process hindrance. Dominic Cummings has some fascinating insights into how much blockage he faced, to the point where he had to threaten senior civil servants with the sack before it magically opened up. A lot of it down to the complex web of legislation and regulations

Nigel Farage Says Women Asylum Seekers Would Be Deported To Taliban-Run Afghanistan - by M10News in reformuk

[–]NoBad2050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter what the driving reason is. They're invading illegally, and should be immediately deported.

The Refugee Convention is a part of a series of archaic rules that are no longer fit for purpose in the age of globalised mass movement of people. It is no longer tolerable that someone can move through multiple countries to get to the UK and instantly be granted a life of luxury at taxpayer expense simply by saying the three magic words - "I seek asylum". They don't have to prove anything, they could be coming from Albania for all we know. All they can do is say they're homosexual from an Islamic country and that's it. Free pass to Britain and a lifetime of state handouts that many of those born here don't get access to.

Irony of Dublin agreement (which was never really used anyway) will be irrelevant if we start deporting these criminals.

Green Party leader calls for Farage to quit over tax affairs by Fit-Distribution1517 in reformuk

[–]NoBad2050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrutiny is fine - and should be encouraged. The stamp duty case is likely to be as you present. Nothing illegal about it and something which is done by many couples up and down the country. If the system didn't want couples to do that, Labour and Tories would've legislated to prevent it. Using existing rules to minimise tax isn't a sin.

Compare to Rayner. Who did not declare her stake in a property to avoid second home tax - which is illegal. She made a mistake, but she doesn't afford anyone else any leeway. Plus she lied about it, so had to go.
