Hi Richard…unfortunately all a/c are a compromise between performance/weight/space and cost…none of them are perfect 🙂

…………but weight tends to win.

There “Could” be another side to this story.
I don’t know or care how racist UKIP is.

Discussion………..what if………….the foster parents were actually a threat?
In this shyte world, kids are groomed and mindfecked by people as part of a long term plan, the ultimate goal being sexual or other abuse.
Keeping immigrant children in a home where (It transpired later) anti-immigration “Could” be supported is a hell of a risk dontcha think?
These rules, which have caused this “Stupid” event only exist because of previous events which have lead to children being harmed.

The third side of this coin?????????? is that now the Authority know about their membership of this psuedo nazi party, they will have to be struck off the Fostering list.
The check process to become a foster carer is a long and thorough process…but clearly it isn’t followed up if you subsequantly join and undesirable club.

To lift a kiddy from a normal home takes a panel of circa 18 people – Social W, Police, Doctors etc. I don’t know how big the panel is for “Taking back” a foster kid. I’d ask the boss but she’s asleep. The boss is a social worker 25 years career, including very long spells in the fostering / adoption teams.

I guess someone who’s just spent a year in mainland Europe is just as bias as a daily mail reader?

No, it was 1 year in 55.

Ang on a mo. Your link was the Gruniad. It was they who were campaigning to stay in and change it, as I suggested. I’d find the article, but need sleep.

We should stay in it, because you apparently know better?

That’s not how Democracy works I’m afraid, and though people’s reasons and motivations may be different than yours, it doesn’t make them any less valid.

All of the Polls show a decisive majority in favour of leaving, and I for one am with them.

Democracy gives you the Government you deserve.
So yes, if it goes to a vote, we will be out of Europe.

I’m not saying I know better,
I’m saying the majority of the people asked to vote have no actual idea. This includes the polls.

We would lose trillions in trade if not part of it.
People are saying get out because they assume it will put more money in their pocket. 1) it may actually be worth a couple of pence income tax. 2) But this is not how a Government works – they never refund the 80% “Workers”. If there is any possible chance that the 80% of us could be slightly better off, they will find another way of taking it. It’s called the Landmine Theory (I named it after that movie Full M jacket I think)…in which a small explosion forces the soldiers to dive off the road into the ditch, where of course the big land mines are hidden. This is how it works, you will have no choices but to do something, then they will tax it because your balls are in the mangle.

You can make statistics show what ever you want, .

Do it all the time.
I always ask people what kind of answer they want.
Then, if there is data which is “Spoiling it”, I ask them to find a reason why it should be disregarded from the study as erroneous outliers.

“6 out of 10 Cats prefer Dolphin Sick than any other brand”. You know how they did that?
They ask thousands of cat owners. Randomly. They MUST keep the survey random to fall within the advertising rules. But, they search down the whole survey until they find a couple of groups of 10 consecutive answers with 6 voting for Dolphin sick. 1 group of 10 is a chance. 2 is a pattern so it can be used. Despite the fact it is statistically (And sensibly) unsound.

No.

Most people don’t understand it. So they will vote the way the Mail/Sun/Mirror/X factor (And any other meaningless brain dead shyte the plebs read or watch) tells them. And that, unfortunately, will be enough votes to pass for an “Out”.
“Unfortunately”, because the majority of UK now has the scholastic knowledge which is associated with Sun / Mirror etc. Gunnings Fog of approximately 3.

We should stay in Europe, but bang the desk harder.
In “Europe” itself, (I’ve just lived a year) they laugh at the way we in UK adopt 100% of the so called directives. They apply common sense.

One would think, that “They” would hang a cross-bar-on-chains type affair 100 yards up the road.
