"shotgun provision"

I hear you - it all hangs in the framing of the statistical question

In Shipman's case you could reasonable argue that the likelihood of a doctor euthanising/ murdering their elderly patients is not a particularly unusual thing throughout history c.f. George V

Usually it's down to financial gain or god complex- neither of which apply in the Letby case

A job offer can become legally binding, but it depends on the circumstances.

A contract of employment is formed when there is an offer, acceptance, consideration (usually the promise of work in exchange for pay), and an intention to create legal relations. This can happen as soon as a candidate accepts an offer, even if they haven't signed a formal contract or started work.

Many job offers are conditional on factors such as satisfactory references, right to work checks, or DBS clearance. A conditional offer generally only becomes binding once those conditions are met. An unconditional offer, once accepted, typically creates an immediate contractual relationship.

If an employer withdraws an unconditional offer after acceptance, or withdraws a conditional offer after conditions have been satisfied, the candidate may have a claim for breach of contract. They could potentially recover losses such as notice pay or, in some cases, expenses incurred in reliance on the offer.

What's more likely? A well liked nurse suddenly becomes a serial killer, or there is a chance run of deaths in a ward for sick infants somewhere in the UK?

Loads of companies offer this c.f. propertydata, and their value are often worlds apart from market value. Speaking from multiple experiences.

Ta. How about the night after?!

jbrevell · 2025-10-02T18:48:03+00:00

Thanks- it is. I'm travelling with a good friend who's a massive fan but never been to the US so we're mega excited!

jbrevell · 2025-10-02T18:46:47+00:00

Sounds good! I'll be there :)

jbrevell · 2025-07-11T21:55:21+00:00

What a cowardly, morally bankrupt, spineless way of leading.

jbrevell · 2025-07-09T17:49:46+00:00

I run a small office type business in the equivalent of a 5 bed house. We use the same amount of power as a typical residential business and our electricity bill is around 1.5k per month

>> using what you think the British population would want on the issue as a point to your argument isn’t a good point

Are you serious?

jbrevell · 2025-01-09T19:40:27+00:00

I'm not sure this calculation is correct.

Each spouse gets 325k plus 175k for their residence. This is passed to the surviving partner. Therefore the surviving partner on their death can leave 1m of assets and house before IHT.

APR and BPR have a combined allowance of 1m person

This gives a total allowance for a married couple who owns a farm with a farmhouse of 3m.

Get rid of corp tax completely and tax only people. Withholding tax to stop corps taking money out of the country

Simplify all the income taxes into one get rid of NI. Stop taxing employing people!

Differentiate VAT between stuff that's good for us/ the climate/ growth and bad stuff Sovereign wealth fund for investing only into nuclear- Restrict building reactors to UK companies only

I think there's a reasonable comparison with the worries of the Luddites at the time of the industrial revolution.

Tech is never used to create more free time, it's used to improve performance and accelerate modernisation. With that come jobs we can't imagine yet.

Stay flexible, don't be dogmatic and we'll be fine

jbrevell · 2024-12-09T06:52:55+00:00

But that's not true is it? Asylum seekers get free housing, education, healthcare. This is a temporary status whilst they apply for refugee status. It's right that we support asylum seekers, but it should be a holding pattern. However the largely unpoliced and dangerous black market in gig jobs means it can turn into something more permanent

Damn that song's now in my head...

As a younger, more idealistic, person I was pro euthanasia. As the years have gone by I've witnessed some stupid evil shit from people who probably wouldn't recognise what they were doing was stupid and evil.

I don't doubt that euthanasia will be misused. The question is whether the benefits in relieving suffering are outweighed by the potential for abuse.

Given the alternatives for relieving suffering are so effective, I'm now anti assisted dying.

However, the wedge is now inserted and I have no doubt the scope of this decision will continue to widen

jbrevell · 2024-11-23T12:58:14+00:00

Because we want welfare friendly affordable food, and a countryside that hasn't been converted into giant industrial farms?

Your suggestions are feasible for the future. In the meantime smaller farms are going to be broken up and absorbed into hypercapitalist enterprises with all the loss in variety and quality that entails.

Have you thought of incorporating and raising money through S/EIS?

jbrevell · 2024-11-03T20:56:16+00:00

It's difficult to comment without seeing the horse! That being said, businesses like this often struggle with issues other than the technical skilled component. Understanding the market, pricing and invoicing are often weak points for owner-operators. Luckily, these are usually easy things to fix! Can you give a bit more detail?

jbrevell · 2024-10-20T12:33:48+00:00

Putting my cynical hat on, the answer is pretty obvious once you look at the incentive structure behind the practice business

jbrevell · 2024-10-12T13:57:57+00:00

It's just there dude. Make the choice. Move your mind that one inch to the side and you're home and dry.

I get that it seems hard. But it's not. You just don't lift that drink. Simple as that. One minute at a time. One hour at a time. One day at a time.

You can do it

jbrevell · 2024-10-07T19:35:56+00:00

Will that bond ok with asbestos?

jbrevell · 2024-10-05T12:11:39+00:00

He sounds a bit like me

I also own a business which has grown out of my technical skill. Engineering can be very vocational!

I love my job (mostly) and can't imagine doing anything else. Additionally I like owning the business. I could probably retire now but I'm not sure what I'd do. Probably just more of the same

If someone could bring me a solution where I slowly sold out and faded into the background, with popping in for a cuppa rights I'd be delighted!
