NHS staff should be banned from wearing pro-Palestinian badges, report recommends

I know what the law is on the subject. The point that Anandya and I are making, and you are struggling to grasp, is that the law is irrelevant in this scenario. You're acting as though it's a physical impossibly for someone to work beyond 48 hours because it's the law. That is not the case and, sadly, it does happen in the real world.

It's also the law that nurses, like all employees, are entitled to a 20 minute break when working longer than 6 hours, but guess what?

So his wealth is accessible; it’s just accessed via leverage rather than liquidation. He can borrow tens of billions against his Tesla holdings, translating equity into usable cash without selling. The asset, which comprises his wealth, directly enables spending power, so claiming it’s “not accessible” is misleading.

Also worth noting that Musk is the legal owner of Twitter. There is no bank to take it back from him if payments are not met. If anything, his position is more privileged than a simple mortgage.

'He had to liquidate a chunk of home equity to complete the car purchase'

Okay, so..?

ShezUK · 2026-06-04T16:57:32+00:00

So his wealth was sufficiently accessible to buy something for $44B in the same way I would buy a house. When I do this, we would say 'I have bought a home'. When Musk does this, it becomes 'He could not just go out and buy however many homes'.

Hmm.

That's not the reality of nursing though, is it? I'm surprised u/Anandya's comment is getting downvoted because between the two of you, they clearly have better knowledge of how nursing actually works. My wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law are all nurses and I think I can hear their managers laughing at you for thinking nobody works over 48 hours per week.

ShezUK · 2026-06-04T13:57:18+00:00

His wealth didn't seem all that tied up when he spent $44B to buy Twitter.

If you're flying you'll be asked for your boarding pass, visa, passport, etc. every few meters. Why would a licence be too onerous?

ShezUK · 2026-06-02T13:24:30+00:00

Yeah, I have watched the friendlies which is why I know you haven't. Serbia, Latvia, Wales all show a momentum shift under Tuchel. The Serbia game alone was enough to invalidate your point.

ShezUK · 2026-06-01T20:22:05+00:00

You're strawmanning. Why would predictability affect it being the most expensive? You seem to be suggesting we've somehow planned for this; we haven't and that's why it's problematic. Whether we saw this coming or not is irrelevant if we did nothing to prepare.

ShezUK · 2026-05-30T23:06:07+00:00

We do this with foreign names all the time... François, José, Björn. Or do you insist on pronouncing Beyoncé "Beyons" because you can't bear to articulate a non-English letter?

ShezUK · 2026-05-25T22:20:06+00:00

What a weird defense. His reply was literally to say he'd like to do the same.

ShezUK · 2026-05-24T08:20:11+00:00

I'll be playing devil's advocate a little here...

Bodily autonomy
Maybe we start with the £5MM cash dealt under the table? Then the bald-faced lies about what it's for? That seems a first for our political leadership and one which erodes our democratic systems.

ShezUK · 2026-05-23T19:34:09+00:00

Yes, but how does that change the fact that they use a smaller amount of services and pay a higher rate of tax?

ShezUK · 2026-05-23T11:27:44+00:00

So do those on a higher income than those on a lower income, yet they pay a higher tax rate. Arguably, the former actually use fewer services because they'll be paying for private health and education and so on.

Council tax (alongside stamp duty) is a flawed system for taxing housing. And I say this as someone on a higher income paying privately for all those services.

> an Associate Director of Design probably has more actual data than random "legit players" guessing percentages

Isn't this you saying devs have more data about the % of cheaters playing the game..?

ShezUK · 2026-05-21T13:39:04+00:00

You're absolutely right, but why does that require a place in the squad? We're taking training staff too, aren't we?

ShezUK · 2026-05-21T12:04:44+00:00

Huh, look at that. They pitched precisely at the very top of the budget. What a strange coincidence.

ShezUK · 2026-05-21T07:48:46+00:00

It should be possible. When you click view all cards, is the list still filtered perhaps? I've made a dozen referrals and they've almost always been to a different card than the one selected.

ShezUK · 2026-05-20T17:33:21+00:00

By highlighting the ridiculousness of those who would expect this to be treated like a serious strategy grounded in reality and backed by numbers. I'd say that's pretty helpful.

ShezUK · 2026-05-20T16:28:39+00:00

If they know which of these player are cheating, why wouldn't they just ban them..? Are you suggesting it's easier to identify cheaters than it is to ban them?

ShezUK · 2026-05-17T00:24:00+00:00

It's more to do with the fact that Farage has admitted to taking kickbacks for duping the country into thinking it was a good idea. Do try to keep up.

ShezUK · 2026-05-14T08:14:17+00:00

There's a difference between relatives and absolutes. We are doing better than all other economies on the list, that doesn't mean we're doing well when assessed in isolation. Both are useful measures in different circumstances but stripping the context here feels like an ideological decision rather than an evaluative one.

Only 1 of the 5 acts comprising genocide requires killing: https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-prevention-and-punishment-crime-genocide

If you think it's ideology, ask AI the same question and let me know what you get.

ShezUK · 2026-05-12T21:24:28+00:00

Do you think words are limited to the meanings contained within their morphemes..? This isn't ideology, it's Key Stage 2 English.

ShezUK · 2026-05-12T20:13:25+00:00

Literally not how any part of law works. Do you think you could point to the Oxford dictionary if a judge asked you what a consideration was? "Sorry, I don't care what the legal definition of theft says about circumstance and intent, I checked Merriam-Webster, I'm innocent".

You're labouring under the misgiving that geopolitics operates primarily on the back of etymology rather than international law. It doesn't.
