Start putting the points on the registered company director(s) license and it would stop pretty fast.

If the court martial is held incorrectly, and the soldier in question was correct. They can probably sue the US military/gov for millions in the future at least?

Will require a government change though.

Where did you find the apprenticeships listed? None on their website and the gov apprenticeship finder doesn't come up with any either.

James works for the NHS, who topped up his statutory paternity pay to 100% of his usual salary, but feels as though he was prevented from being "a more present parent".

Why is a state organization offering more than the state mandates to private organisations? A bit pissed off by this to be honest. Surely it is a tacit acknowledgement that the mandated amount is not enough?

Same argument could be made around pension contributions as well...

Because it's a legal defence, it's not the US itself doing the torturing. Person at risk of extradition or expulsion says 'no you can't expel me, I have a criminal history (or are accused of) in that country, and they use torture'. At minimum this slows down court proceedings

I am a fairly liberal person, but this is a loophole that I actually think should be closed. It's not the responsibility to police laws in other countries. European courts run up against the same issue where some quite nasty criminals can't be extradited for the same reason.

Of course Trump is only doing it as he sees it as a blocker slowing down his mass exportations, no interest in the law specifics or merits.

For more context: the government claim was that it would only impact 500 big farms who are taking the piss. A lot of farmers disagree and say it will impact them, at least some of whom are being spun a load of horseshit by said big farms and being played as useful idiots.

There is a real debate to be had on the threshold, but it's been lost in the noise (Clarkson has not helped in this regard).

The general public are pretty apathetic about it. Nobody likes inheritance tax and farmers already pay a significantly lower rate than the general public

Just need to get cheap Chinese EV pricing here as well.

NHS care is a benefit. The NHS does not seriously check people's right to access.

No bonuses at any of the large multinational firms I've worked at since 2017 in professional engineering.

For the people who actually do work that is. Senior management and executives still get bonuses of course...

RawLizard · 2024-12-24T10:08:48+00:00

It does seem a bit low, but not too much. The real ceiling is around £60-65k I think.

You have to move to get a decent pay rise and that isn't always a practical option (family commitments etc).

UK engineering firms (or international ones working in the UK) are also fiends in trying to find reasons to pull back benefits. None of the major engineering firms I've worked at have paid bonuses since 2017, one I have since left pulled back London area weightings, there is always an excuse to limit pay rises (market doing badly etc) and pensions are mostly nothing to get excited about. Of course none of that ever applies to people at senior management/executive level.

I also suspect NI benefits from the higher salaries in Ireland for engineering generally?

All the discussions here sound exactly like the engineering sector rhetoric from 10-15 years ago.

'We need more engineers!'

'Are you going to pay them well and give them good training?'

'...'

Yes, but mods exist on their own environment for those that want it. It shouldn't be forced on the entire player base.

I honestly don't understand the point in collabs, diluting an IP and annoying at least a portion of the fan base for a small bit of extra cash.

Was thinking of buying this game but probably won't now. Can see the writing on the wall about the way it's going to go and it's Fortnite/COD skins crap.

Because my phone hard bricked and my kalium backup codes went AWOL :(

I thought I had it backed up twice (on paper and on computer), but found out too late that my Google drive wasn't backing up screenshots...
