aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I said I didn't want this to be a DUCK SEASON / RABBIT SEASON thread. I support Bernie entirely. I'm just annoyed with those who said they would literally vote GOP over Hillary. That's a real thing over in USPol and the Dem primary threads.

Lol why would people vote GOP over Hilary if Bernie didn't become leader that makes no sense, Hilary is a turd but the GOP is infinitely worse. What's really blowing my mind is the Hilary camp's current policy of describing all criticism of her as sexist, which is massively untrue.

Sadly this isn't weird for IT. I mean, obviously the chief IT guy is going to be super good at IT so why do you need any other IT guys in the main building, the head IT guy can do it all!

Junior doctors' row: BMA rejects 'final' contract offerquote:Junior doctors' leaders have rejected a "final take-it-or-leave-it" offer made by the government to settle the bitter contract dispute in England. Good on the BMA for sticking to their guns. Hunt is determined to sell the NHS off no matter what, maybe he'll at least lose his job over it

While I agree that someone with that skills to be in that position mending basic hardware is a massive waste of resources, the fact that he either can't do it (Everyone I know would either be able to do it, or have a go) or can't authorize writing the kit off should be troubling. (esp as changing the screen on a laptop is about the easiest thing you can do- even keyboards are more of a pain to get out sometimes)

Plus the actual rumour, as seen in the Evening Standard yesterday, that Boris will join the Foreign Office when he leaves City Hall. Presumably so Cameron/Osborne can post him to Tripoli and then carpet bomb the place.

I know it's an ideological battle for the Tories, but is there anything specifically Hunt gains from an NHS selloff? Any fingers in corporate medical pies that might make for an obvious ulterior motive? Or is he just banking on staying friends with other Tories who do?

Jeremy Hunt once co-authored a paper about how it was time to privatise the NHS. Also I remember something about every Tory front bencher having links to private heathcare providers.

I don't think I'd move to the States if I didn't have an employer who wouldn't think twice about paying $10k to get my paperwork in order. Does not seem like a place I'd want to be with a job that doesn't pay well and offer good benefits.

The Tories are pretty much all on the take from someone, that's the point of going into politics for all but the most old-school. And if he isn't right now once he's shuffled out of government he'll go sit on the board of some healthcare company or some company with shares in one.

If Brexit happens then Scotland is ideally positioned, a sizable majority have said they'd want a second vote to choose which corrupt capitalist union they stay a part of.

Those are the two EU countries both offer no questions citizenship by grandparentage (Italy might be grandfather only I think?). I don't qualify for this because I only have an Irish great-grandfather, my grandfather was selfishly born in Scotland and only grew up in Ireland. The other good option is to have the foresight to be born with dual nationality, I also recommend that.

You could still claim Irish citizenship with a great-grandfather if your parent put themselves on the foreign birth register btw.
