  1. Not just Europe,Romanian begging/theft gangs are popping up in Canada and the States,there’s a husband and wife distraction theft couple on YouTube,caught illegally in an American state somewhere,their young son of maybe 10 years old has a $30k? Rolex on his wrist.
  2. I just clicked on who the bloke is filming and shouting…………..
  3. I think you will enjoy it,Edwin Rist upon his release from prison finally got his golden flute and relocated to Germany becoming a professional flautist,dreams come true.
  4. I saw this guy interviewed on an American podcast,he looks like he works in Home depot or as a software engineer,like a British version of Mike Vining.
  5. Jabba the f***ing hutt has been eating more than f***ing pretzels
  6. If they hadn’t been actively recruiting from 3’rd world and developing countries the NHS would be up a creek without a paddle both now and a long time ahead,non Brits make up roughly 30% of nurses and 35% of doctors,Brit doctors graduate they want the lifestyle of Australia or the money in the states.
  7. My point is your original choice of word didn’t fit,you said UK stole healthcare staff,I said the UK doesn’t steal them,the UK offers a better work package than their home countries,no stealing,it’s incentivisation.

    It’s f***ing Brick Tops twin sister
  9. My mother thankfully died in a care home you have gone from stealing to importing,incentivising is a better choice.
  10. That’s true,when I was a kid I remember someone I knew going to Germany to work,it was a big deal back then,now it’s nothing,digital-nomads moving around.
  11. I used to live in the Philippines,oversubscribed university course is nursing,families will sell land,get up to their eyeballs in debt to get a kid onto a nursing course as the kid can work and live abroad and make a good life,education is currency.Australia and New Zealand were recruiting doctors in the UK a few years back,in the past year I know three Canadian nurses who have went south of the border for a great salary and standard of living,people have always moved around for better money be it moving around the city,country or world.
  12. There’s currently 1652 NHS vacancies for doctors in the NHS,my son put the hard work in,I paid every single penny of his tuition,no student loans whatsoever,have the states nicked him?
  13. That’s fine,you dont understand the brain-drain isn’t theft,it’s entirely voluntary.
  14. No one steals NHS staff from abroad mate,that's a fact,my lady came to the UK just for a year to work,they are recruited,stealing the staff is a bit of an odd way to describe it,my Son and Daughter-in-law are in healthcare and moved to the states,my lady has nieces who did the same,recruited is the word,better money and quality of life.
  15. Change of direction by the government,thin end of the wedge. Asylum-seeking doctors, nurses and other health professionals granted right to work WWW.NHSEMPLOYERS.ORG The Home Office has announced a change to the immigration rules that will reinstate the right to work for...

    Nigel is off to the promised land.
  17. I have never seen a black muskrat,but the normal brown ones are in most waterways and ditches local.The trap is as complicated as they come,read about the light
  18. The jaws release as the trap rises so the muskrat is safely caged,like something from a HG Wells muskrat movie.I wonder how much live muskrat fetched to restock a marsh?
  19. Iranians are in the top 4 nationalities crossing the English Channel illegally in small boats,they aren’t all coming for fish and chips and the fantastic British weather,some will arrive with malice aforethought (it’s happened in the past) you could very well be right sir.
  20. Canadian teenager on holiday in Australia back in January was attacked by a dingo pack while walking on the beach.They attacked her so she ran into the sea to escape the pack and drown,when her body was found the pack were around her,six were shot and the rest ran off.
  21. Early 1900's,the muskrat is actually caught in two traps,a foothold and the cage,the cage rises out of the water so you can see you have a catch,crazy eh?

  22. The world is laughing at the UK's weak leader,Trump reposted this.......
  23. Done a little research on these traps,they were designed for catching muskrat alive to restock marshes when fur prices were high.Nowadays the trap in good condition will fetch $1200
  24. One thing it ain’t is for catching tarantulas when I first joined this forum there was a huge trap auction in Reading,some old bloke had died and had a collection of weird and wonderful traps from around the world.OTC who used to be on here was there.I saw a fish trap,for pike,that reminded me of this trap.Multiple prongs for holding a slippery fish and a bait hook.
