    If I Had Legs I'd Kick You - brilliant and Rose Bryne deserves all the awards. Although whoever decided to class it as a comedy drama probably needs checking up on, it was pretty intense stuff. Its about a therapist with a sick daughter and a husband who is never around as he works on a ship...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He'd have to be a bloody good shot seeing as Trump was in Washington at the time. Surely can't be that hard to look up the Presidents schedule if you were going to make an assassination attempt.

    Unless I've missed a change in the law to say child rape is not a criminal offence I'm not really seeing how CAWNs are being issued to rapists. If they are its a complete misuse and not in line with procedure so you'd expect whoever authorised it to be suspended and investigated ASAP.

    Immigration and Asylum

    Until a couple of years ago it wasn't legal to bet on ice hockey in North America, and presumably other sports. Across the board players report huge amounts of abuse, including racism and even death threats, since betting has been introduced.

    I tried searching the thread for 'doctors' to see who on the forum has made that argument and all that comes up is people claiming doctors and nurses is always the argument or people saying nobody has made that argument or asking who did 🤷‍♂️

    The figures for PIP fraud are quoted as being so low it is classed at zero. Dig a bit deeper and you find a figure of 0.4% for overpayments. 0.1% of that is DWP errors the vast majority of the rest is down to claimants not reporting a change in circumstances before their review date. Fraud...

    Telling in what way? PIP is not diagnosis based, its based on need and meeting the criteria. You or I could call the doctor today, have a 5 minute appointment and walk out with medication for stress, anxiety or depression without a formal diagnosis or ongoing treatment plan. The bar for that is...

    Having said I was going to watch Small Prophets weekly I got through the whole thing in one sitting at the weekend. Absolutely loved it. Thank fuck they didn't use CGI. Looks like series 2 has been confirmed, no idea where they're going to go with the story but can't wait to find out.

    Not sure what point he's making here? Why wouldn't the company that BCC have a contract with to provide interim accommodation due to the lack of social housing be classed as housing services? If the contact is the best option or value for money is an entirely different issue and the answer to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure it will tbh. There is zero chance the capacity can be found for that volume of formal diagnosis. We can't manage it for people who desperately need it for their treatment plans to be formulated let alone anyone else. So it will have to be done elsewhere in the system. So then the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Took nearly 2 years from me going to the doctors to having my initial assessment, which is only the first step on the road to getting a diagnosis. What are you doing in that time, turning everyone away? Don't claim anything btw, don't think I'm eligible. Pretty sure it's not as easy as some...

    presumably in order to enable this they've got a viable plan to get the waiting lists for mental health services from years to days. or is the suggestion something more like the infamous work capability tests?
