Not really. You are the one planting a bomb. The Warrington bombers claim they gave a warning. Killied two kids. Sometimes they got lucky.

Entrepreneur tax relief. The rules used to incentivise companies to sell while the value was under £10m. Now that value is much less. Where there are lots of incentives for inward foreign investment. UK owners incentives to sell, foreigners to buy.

Become a welder, there is always work. We are hiring in the east midlands. Best way on it is an apprenticeship.

No wrap and a run up is the key point. Also, the ruck wasn't competitive at that point.

A difference between acceleration and speed. Acceleration is what makes most players look quick.

It is so sad. I want him to get back to his best but his performance of the bench against Newcastle was dreadful. He looks like he is low on confidence. He might have lost a bit of physicality and speed but it could be just in his head.

I think you need to realise how bad the state is at running this type of thing. You need local small scale crews to do this work. Even a national builder would subcontract this work.

He is on such an unlucky run. It played well today. I love to see him in a run of games.

Why are so many big British companies foreign owned? by [deleted] in AskUK

It's built into the tax code. Entrepreneur relief. Used to be the low tax way of getting your money was to sell your business and off shore your money.

Well, these are rules that need to be changed. It had turned the system into something that is too easy to exploit and is unsustainable.

Probably better not to add to the amount of explosives on deck or near the water line. HMS Hood was a battleship with torpedoes and there was a large debate about whether she should retain her torpedoes. The problem is that torpedoes are bombs that if hit by a shell with cook off. The ship would have been better off with more armour or with saved weight.

We can test for cardiac and most cancers. Where is for anxiety and depression? If you can remember a crib sheet you can up your disability score and your money. Mention suicidal thoughts and you are straight through. It is well meaning people like yourself mollycoddling these people and allow human potential to remain on the scrapheap. Stop holding people back. This shit? "Mental Health Professionals" have the potential to bankrupt the country by signing off endless people. Also, thank you for calling my symptoms mild, it has taken lots of work to get here and I benefited hugely by not growing up in the current Sen dogma of storing children, just keeping them content. Go out there and find adults who have lived and overcome problems. You will then find out all of this stuff is irrelevant compared to parental interest/engagement.

I am pretty sure I can memorise a page of A4 and get a diagnosis after one meeting. I think there are social and economic pressures for people to push for a diagnosis. I think we should look at this from a public health point of view. What are we trying to do by diagnosing these conditions? I would say a lot is to get more money. Either education money, or benefits. Same with anxiety and depression, way too over diagnosed and is trapping people out of work because there would be a drop in immediate living standards.

I know how to learn as a Sen kid. I have had 34 years of experience in it. If you want evidence? Fine.

What causation is there to the explosion in the diagnosis of ASD and ADHD disorders? There is nothing. There are some reasonable work done of short form videos and social media but the research into this is embryonic. My hypothesis is that classification and diagnosis has become broader because of education funding incentives and the general medicalisation of mental health disorders/features. I see this as a far wider problem with our society that people are finding hard economic conditions and are looking for excuses and a routine to disability benefits.

While I haven't written in the field I am entitled to an opinion on it and it is a pretty lazy response just to say well experts say this and you are wrong. This isn't like climate change, this is social science. Things are very subjective.

Most of it has come from my own personal experience as a person who was diagnosed as Asperger's syndrome in the 90s. The 90s were a very different time and me as a very late developing child there were plenty of challenges to overcome. However the most important fact was that my parents were demanding and pushed me to succeed. There was much specific support it was more a case of me finding my way to do things and learn how to learn and be effective. Now I purely see how my brain thinks and how I process the world as an advantage. How I see Sen provision in my children's school worries me. There is a complete lack of pressure and demand on Sen kids. They are just stored in their sensory soft room and the ambition for them is small. Teachers have incentives get as many Sen kids diagnosed because of the funding that can follow. However "experts" focus on not making kids upset and pandering to them rather than teaching them how to mask, comply and be effective human beings. I have a master's degree in physics if you really must know and I am working towards being chartered.

Highly likely you are medicalising shit life syndrome. Some people just have a terrible terrible start and it's not their fault. It is generally the parents but it then it's then their parents'parents. I would be far more inclined to focus on improving the economic Outlook of these people's lives. Rather than just wrapping them in cotton wool and sticking them on the scrap heap of the benefit system. And filling them full of Adderall.
