And the bill for higher care costs will be paid for by?

Obscene.

I don’t like McConnell one bit, but it cannot be reasonably denied that like other older politicians, not subjects of this thread, he brings brings with him the long tooth experience of a lifetime in politics and consummate political skills. Governing the worlds most powerful democracy is serious business for which a mixture of young blood and wise old hands is essential. I wish Mitch a speedy and full recovery for his health and annihilation at the election for his party.

Did you just say ‘Crystal Ball’?!

Is that you admitting the the Express article you linked is a forecast?

All Giuliani had to do was stay away from Donald Trump and he would have passed into history with a enviable reputation intact. He didn’t do that simple thing and he’s now on course for ending his days in the slammer.

More crystal ball stuff from the rightwing press.

Yes he is, but as we see he has his admirers. Some can never go low enough.

Gaslighting you say.

Correct me if I’m wrong. The Nazi used victims of the Holocaust as slave labor? Not so much victims of the Nazis ‘parlaying’ their skills as being enslaved by the brutality of the Nazi killing machine.

Trump’s narcissistic extinction burst is coming to a head.

Look who defends it.

You presume a lot of things, almost always entirely incorrectly. Try fact based discussions and avoiding personal attacks, they might together help you stay on topic.

Please point out where in the OP or the linked article the statement is made that the example individual was trafficked?

I’m not at all surprised. We know from past reports of migrant worker abuse that powerful people are often in the background. It doesn’t in and of itself make the migrant a ‘trafficked person’. Oh, and there’s that visa again.

You’d need a very loose interpretation of that to apply it to this example given. Even the individual and the organization helping her aren’t claiming she was trafficked. There is no suggestion anywhere in the OP or the linked article that she and her family have been trafficked. That was a contribution from your very own imagination.

I’m not sure that is the definition of human trafficking. Perhaps best not to assert human trafficking without evidence and facts.

Forgive me, I posted the link earlier in the thread, and have reposted above. I have no expectation of anyone being a mind reader but I do expect, perhaps futilely so, that people engaged in a discussion would follow the discussion.

Forgive me Vinny, I assumed you could navigate through the thread:

That’s alright, she’s got a visa. No evidence of it being one of the ‘fake visas’ you referred to, and zero evidence of the ‘human trafficking’ you threw into the discussion. Oh and the thread is the whole OP not the single bit you wish to misrepresent.

A link to what, I’ve referred you to the OP, you’ll find it at the top of the thread.

The OP refers to ‘the UK care sector’ and the included article refers to at least 109 cases.

No need to apologize, I never made any such claim.

To point out the salient bit you are failing to address.

Refer title of thread for a clue.
