Wait and see what happens.

Victim blaming. There’s a surprise, not.

A cautionary note. Anyone who has been a member of a company or private pension that was ‘Contracted Out’ may be online for a reduced pension under the ‘Contracted Out Equivalent’ rules. In which case paying missing years NI contributions over and above the 35 year minimum will reduce the COE bringing you back towards full state pension.

Can’t have racism being called out can we?!

Desperate moves from a desperate Trump.

Trump didn’t simply predict without evidence he would be arrested on Tuesday, he knew very well he was not going to be arrested on Tuesday. At the time of making the statement he had already asked DA Bragg to allow Robert Castello to give testimony to the Grand Jury, Bragg had agreed. Trump knew this he knew this would delay the Grand Jury ruling, he was again lying through his teeth. Oh, and Castello’s testimony didn’t go as he expected, he’s been bleating about it since.

You’re in a loop of circular logic.

Not a fan of Justice, Law and Order then?!

Since when did facts put a stop to Rightwing conspiracy nonsense?

Trump has ‘prior’ on this. NY Authorities are taking no chances.

That this is happening in a grassroots club is disgraceful. Supporters and family on the sidelines sure know who the racists are, they need weeding out. Well done Prince William for speaking out.

Building the houses the nation needs would deflate house prices and especially the buy to let market. Not a vote winner.

The UK economy suffers from both low productivity and anemic growth. Inflation is being driven by supply side restrictions, not wage increases, while Government policy has been to restrict wage increases in the public sector while handing tax breaks to the already wealthy. The consequence is income disparity continues to rise. A nation of haves and have nots.

No surprises there.

I think they should be cautious on the idea of technology coming to their aid.

None of which is alleged.

“Comer says it is unclear why the money was paid, which tallies with my own observation that not a single representative of the left here can state why the monies were paid. Not one single person.” That’s not how accusations work. Comer needs to provide evidence of a crime or criminal intent relating to the transfer. It’s not for the Biden’s or anyone on the left to provide evidence that the transfer was innocent. Nobody needs to demonstrate their innocence, if Comer or anyone else wish to allege a crime, they need to bring the evidence.

Did you check the reliable and verifiable data? Because of you do realize that individual job adverts are discrete data points and it’s masses of data points that are collected and reported in Government statistics.

This is an anonymous forum, claims made without verifiable sources are naturally un verifiable. Data from reputable sources on the other hand are verifiable. For example, Government data on the affordability of houses, link provided. You personally might buy a house at three times your income, I personally might pay cash, but Government data tells us that for the vast majority of people house prices are outstripping their incomes by increasing ratios. Likewise what you earn and what I earn is not an indication of what others earn or are able to earn, for that we need to go to reliable data sources.

Good luck to your daughter with her career, but I take it she’s living at home, certainly not likely to get a mortgage on £14 an hour, nor if she reaches the £35K a year without a substantial deposit.

Hang on a minute, you state your personal experience and tgen don’t accept me quoting my personal experience. Perhaps because my personal experience is detrimental to your argument?! So let’s go to the data. Refer links above.

The topic of discussion is the decline in UK living standards, the existence of some well paid jobs does not balance out the very high numbers of poorly paid jobs. By example, the rise in zero hour contracts and short fixed term contracts. I’m a professional engineer, I see high paid job vacancies often going empty because there are no qualified people available, but what I don’t do is mistake those small numbers of jobs as indicative of the pay and conditions of the vast number of low pay, poor condition jobs. I’m really not sure what your reference to ‘propaganda’ was about.

As you wish: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/key-workers-vacancies-jobs-pay-city-guilds-b2006288.html https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2019/11/21/low-wage-work-is-more-pervasive-than-you-think-and-there-arent-enough-good-jobs-to-go-around/

No where near as available or affordable as they were only a few decades ago.

There are indeed around 1 million vacancies, significant numbers of which are zero hour contracts or short term contract jobs, not the secure jobs with work place benefits that built the wealth of baby boomers.. National statics on income to house price ratios are available, and a lot more reliable than claims made on anonymous Internet forums. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/housing/bulletins/housingaffordabilityinenglandandwales/2021
