Exactly one minute he says he would not serve in Boris' cabinet then he says if it was no deal he would set up a rebel parliament and then he says he would serve in Boris' cabinet if he asked him. I think he has also recently said he would not serve in Boris' cabinet. We need a Prime Minister who can make decisions based on evidence, research and knowledge of British and EU law, not a flip flopper.
Yes I expect they will be telling us that they will be forming the next government because they did so well. Remember how they used to do that when they kept winning by elections?
Absolutely agree. As I said above I have friends and relatives who did not enter nursing with a degree Two of them are very senior nurses who have studied during the course of their careers and gained qualifications which are equal to any that a nurse with a degree has.
The abolition of bursaries is one reason for a lack of British nurses. Another reason is Labour's policy of nurses having to do a degree course. I have no quarrel with nurses having degrees I have friends and relatives trained under the old SRN and Project 2000 system who probably have enough qualifications and experience to warrant awarding them a PHD. The one thing that strikes me about nurses studying for a degree is that from the age of 18 to 21 they are in University whereas under the old system they were working on wards part of the time and gaining valuable experience in the process. Nursing is not purely an academic subject there is a very big practical side to it. Also now you have to have A Levels to get a degree whereas people who had O Levels were accepted for Nurse training and gained the equivalent of A Levels and a degree before they finished their course. I believe if we made nursing courses an apprenticeship with a degree at the end of it we would soon increase the number of nurses. Also I have heard stories of nurses with degrees refusing to clean up after patients have been sick. The excuse being it is not in my job description I've got a degree. That is not what nursing is about.
I believe it was an European law that banned "normal" cars and therefore Mr Gove had to comply.
Excellent article Mr Renard.
Apparently (as above) the last Labour Government halved homelessness, halved child poverty and lifted 2 million pensioners out of poverty. What a joke! Do you remember the 75 pence a week rise that they gave to pensioners and getting rid of the 10p tax rate, when people on the lowest wages were paying more tax and people earning most were getting a rebate. As for halving homelessness and child poverty no way, not in the disadvantaged area I worked in. The answer is that it was never in the press and the media so people didn't know what was going on, homelessness was rife and some children were living in households that couldn't afford to feed them. People were in terrible debt and as my debt adviser used to say if this is going on in a small area like this what is it like in the large towns and cities.
