There was Filipina nurses aswell, mate, but the majority back then were British and Irish at the hospitals I used. I think there was a worry about Asian nurses qualifications, fakes are readily available in places like the Philippines. Cheers.

I’ve had far more experience of hospitals in the last ten years or so than I wanted. The nursing staff up here have a huge contingent of Filipina and Indian sub continent nurses, and I’ve no complaint about them. Conversely, when I lived in the Middle East, the nurses were predominantly British and Irish. They all had one thing in common, going to work abroad for better wages, to make enough to be able to return home and live more comfortably. I went abroad for the same reasons, and knew the day would come when I’d return home. The Saudis employed the nurses and people

It says “ they have pledged to close 82 million INACTIVE accounts”. I don’t know mate, my wife’s cousin is married to a Vietnamese, I’ll be seeing them shortly, I’ll ask if she knows what’s going on Cheers.

Yes mate, I read the article and what I got from it was they didn’t say you have to give your biometrics or we close your account. It looked like they were closing dormant or dodgy accounts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m dead set against central digital currency and banking, I think it’s too authoritarian and too open to abuse by a corrupt government. Ive got a couple of dormant accounts, I keep meaning to close them, and for sure the banks will eventually contact me and say they have been suspended or closed. Cheers.

Perhaps if the same consultant and others like him who work for the NHS weren’t moonlighting in private practice, concentrated on there NHS day jobs the waiting lists wouldn’t be so long ? Just a thought. I hope your wife makes a speedy and full recovery Cheers.

Vietnam has a population of around 100,000,000. So has 86% of the population had their accounts closed ? Doubtful, as many children, peasants, etc won’t have bank accounts. Are some of these closed accounts a bit dodgy ? Money laundering, etc ? Cheers.

I’ve noticed a couple o the Labour benches. Isn’t Zia a Sri Lankan Muslim ? Cheers.

Labour is pushing through a law to make “Islamophobia” illegal. The police and the media are worried about, for instance , they won’t be able to describe rape or grooming gangs as “ Muslim grooming gangs”, they won’t be able to describe terrorists as “Islamist terrorists”. They would be breaking the law ! Islam will become a protected entity IN LAW. I am more worried about this than the unlikely event of Zia becoming leader of Reform ……. Cheers.

Tory MP and shadow minister Danny Kruger defected and joined Reform. Cheers.

That’s all my winter onions in now. 50 Senshyu onions in a “no dig” bed; Watered in and glass covers on; Cheers. -
Putting another slant on it; Every Tory defection is another nail in the Tory coffin. Farage can accept them as members , but then cherry pick them to be parliamentary candidates, and even then, not give them government positions if or when Reform come to power. Something like “ keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer “ ? Just me playing “devils advocate “ Cheers.

Slightly off topic, but the Americans have a breed, the “Silken Windhound” Basically a borzoi / whippet , line bred to get a whippet sized borzoi. Bonny looking things, but more for show than work. Cheers.

A bit like the BBC Television Tax ? Cheers.

No, he’s massively disillusioned with the left, I need to work on him to vote Reform Cheers.

My own brother worked for 45 years for the local Labour Council, a union convener and H&S manager and a card carrying Labour Party member. His “Road to Damascus “ moment came as he realised today’s Labour Party isn’t the same party he has supported all his life , and he tore up his membership card and left the party. So, to use another metaphor; “ leopards CAN change their spots” ! Cheers.

Kruger isn’t saying “I agree with Stalin, I’m going to become a communist” ! LOL ! He’s moving to a party that he thinks more represents his views, and leaving a party that has rejected his and the Tory’s historical views. I know your not calling me “naive”, I’m more hopeful than naive, in thinking he is doing the right thing, but I will always be sceptical of ALL politicians, some more than others. As the old Chinese saying goes; “we live in interesting times” ! Cheers.

Danny Kruger, a sitting Tory MP and shadow minister has just defected to Reform. I know many people will not like this, but he was to the right of the Tory Party and a Brexiteer and thinks the Tory’s don’t represent the right of British politics anymore, so I’ll accept him . Cheers.

Wilf , the “Overton Window “ is moving rightward, but it will never move far enough to Lowes right . The window represents the populations general consensus, and at the moment, we have a left wing government that completely rejects the direction of the window and the will of the people. Farage is a very shrewd politician and is saying what the window tells him the people want, I just hope his intentions match his rhetoric . Lowe, even though I agree with much of what he says, would be an anathema to the “middle ground” voters and without them he has absolutely no chance of ever fo

I’m open to listen to any alternative, but there isn’t one being suggested. Short of a military coup, I can’t see a viable alternative. Cheers.

The way I understand the way “net zero immigration policy” would work is that for every immigrant wanting to come in , would only be allowed if one had left. Id gladly swap an illegal Ethiopian or Somali for an Australian mining Engineer or a Japanese nuclear scientist, if that’s what we needed. Im sure Reform arent suggesting one illegal for another ! Contrary to what we would like, we will always need some, strictly controlled immigration. If we need a brain surgeon or a cancer specialist, or a nuclear engineer surely it’s best to import one until we get our act together

I remember my mum telling me about the Germans bombing Manors Goods Station in Newcastle. Our house was only about 500 yards away, my granny would say” eeh, there was butter running down Falconer street “. And we think we’ve got it bad these days …… Cheers.

That’s him , Juke Cheers.

Didn’t Kirk make him look a fool in a one v one debate a couple of weeks ago ? Cheers.
