  6. Exact same thing with oyster sauces from HK into the UK a long time ago. When those small family businesses, started, or tried to expand. And then have issues holding onto supply chains and so forth. When they are of a certain size and level and need to meet sales and demands. Then this is what happens. Substitution exists. Unilever was famous for global expansion. I rather they sell it "as it is" without re-processing it again. So before brexit, we did have local excess stocks. Local sellers would tend to buy those and then resell. People don't mind. It's now a case of.. supply chain ends up on British shores... This is now an issue as well. And then some clever clogs try to fudge it. i.e. Force several ingredients together to make new things instead of wasting anything. Now, that I don't agree with ! (THIS is ultimately what this video is talking about....) And they are always those.. gimmicky things. "We only have this much. How much can we sell and make a profit and not a loss?".... I rather that they shrink the size, than to create some odd ball things. I see a lot of this kind of oddball things.. in the UK. They mostly come from Europe. Like.. I found out that... Pringles made with rice. And has Russian labels on them. When I bite into it... I almost cracked my teeth. I bet these are the "new recipes" from another region. In the UK, the manufacturer uses potatoe powder. It's absolutely crazy. (And rice is not the same as potatoe or wheat. It is too tough to eat as raw. (And this is another one of those issues of, the sellers doesn't know how to deal with the ingredients either.) My nephew had something which was inedible this Easter period. He found some odd rice crackers. With a Polish label. In a Turkish supermarket. I tried it.. and realised that it was manufactured wrongly. It's not even cooked properly. It was hard ? (Rice in Asia is never dried. It is always used in a liquid recipe in one form or another.) I almost choked on the thing. I don't even know how that got passed their QA !!!

  43. Basically, what is saying is that, they have taken the money, to Scotland.. to use... and then, has not produced enough green jobs that we will make use of in the England, and in the Wales area. So it means that, "green money for green energy, but I will use some of that to feed my people instead!"..... This is why this is so irksome.... Cos right now.. Ireland is also using a lot of the oil as well ? And people in the England area is most suffering? A LOT ??? To imagine.... as a little kid, I still remember that, when Ireland hit the potatoe farming... we held that line... to stayed strong and let the profit be hit, and use our own savings, to keep the supply chain going. And then years later, to see so many Irish people, come into the UK and to do building work as well... And then Scotland... at the same time... trying to scam the rest of us.... squeezing that margin... always.. These people have a nerve. Yes, when you do not get your votes, and people are hating you, cos you are squeezing them. Sure.. let in NEW migrants and promote them into wealth. And let them show the good stats !!!!!! I am peeved off to the highest extent. This woman..... And sure, Ireland now has a low tax situation.. who is now doing international cargos, while they close all other airports in the UK. We did not vote for RBS to have taken chinese money as well.... when they also almost crippled us as well, with bad businesses.. in the sense that, it wasn't an inclusive.... The "pound is an international currency, it is a Scottish currency" !?!?!!!!!! This is just so fantastic... and here we are, even with FB at one point going on about their own crypto coins....

  50. How is it not justified ? These students.. that is, all universities are actually publically owned? It is owned by the state. They are not private universities. It is funded by the public sector. So therefore... the gentleman was basically protesting that he has to pay around 3 times as much. I remember this.. it was that year whereby they reduced the actual 3k....into 9k per year... It turned into a 27k a year !!! I think it was just like a 1k per year... (and with maintenance to the low income kids)... into a 6 or 7k a year. Then into the 9k a year. When it was just 3k a year, people still either get a maintence grant as well as working part time to substitute into a full wage and salary, cos you still have to pay for accomodations. When it was 27k... that was unsustainable at that time unless your parents was earning a lot for this ? Many families doesn't do it then. And they stopped their actual kids from going to uni at that point. And do not forget... university lecturers also get an actual pension pot as well.... If nobody gives back to the public pot, then it doesn't work. I did some basic calc. The most that people could earn in their entire lifetime then was a mere around 250k.. for their entire 45 years of working.... If costs are kept low as well. But now... what used to be a weekly shop of around a mere 5 pound, has now turned into a 20 pound per day. Or around a whopping... 100 pound per week !!!! 20 times increase ! And this is not including the actual energy issue as well. It used to be around a mere 520 a year, into the current 1500 per year cap. In some cases it is around 2500 !!! That does not include the excesses that does not exist in your life time before. Like mobile phones per year costs didn't exists. The cost of medical prescriptions before did not exist. Transportation costs did not exist before. Not in this amount. And now every single of these items are not even locked down. Cos foreign investments kept fluctuating a lot as well ? And they did not even actually close down things either. People kept selling bad items and marketing as well.. marketing bad things... here or there. And diluting things all around too... Can a 70 million country have around a whopping 60 million company owners ? Who are all fighting for the same 70 million market ??? And expecting all of them to be earning in the millions ? Does the maths add up? It does not add up.

  58. Some of them are not true records.. and maybe have been people that lived or used to live in Scotland, but they have moved away and onwards? So it is left on their record.. but in reality. This is an issue that the Scottish government NEEDS to deal with. i.e. Maybe archive them as well. But they don't. Cos they don't do this.. when they run a report.. How accurate is it really ? I was also on the road most of the time.. but I often DO actually go home to my registered GP. But how many people do this any way ? They don't. And if you read about on the comment about the lady in Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire only has around... a mere... 400k people. I know, cos I left there. I didn't change my registered GP at all.... I came back to Sheffield for my basic GP provision. I had a home and a house, and I also rented.. So now.. if you see how things are working out now... People from Europe.. could register and then leave.. but then they don't even actually.... reaffirm when they come back. They don't leave and sign an exit registration either. So how does this work then ? So the NHS is SUPPOSED to... actually.... what... continually keep their records always and put a burden on the local councils' budgets ??!?!!?!..... Why aren't they paid for then by their own European government's budgets !?!?!?!!!!..... Oh.. They don't HAVE the money ?! How rich !!!!! So the rest of us in the UK have to keep subbing the rest of Europe then ? Why was the euro introduced? How can a small country have the EXACT same standard as the entire larger block... and have THEIR wages RISE in exponentially.. and we lose out ??!?!!? And to be even SQUEEZED OUT !?!?!!.....

  59.  @eliasashwood1460  : Scotland gets what they voted for. They wanted to split. So we split. We now, the whole of the UK is split.. in such a way that, it will integrate easily into the so called EU model. This is what they wanted to begin with any way. Right ? And then.. we equalised now... and all of those so called money as well.. that went into their pots.. A lot of people now... I mean.. Ireland is now getting the Ukrainians... and they don't like it. Wow... so funny isn't it ? When things were going up it was fine. But when things are going down, it is now not fine? UK had to close many universities too. In order to save. And a lot of eramus and various amount of money went into the central EU pot as well for distribution. And yet.. we end up with nothing now. So Scotland when they had their own parliaments.. and their own budgets.. then it means that they have to manage the NHS Scotland budget, don't they ? So why ask for more from Westminister? This is no longer anyting to do with the rest of us. You chose that tie. You cut the ties. And anyway, isn't your universities.. truly have a back up plan any way? I would try and merge your universities with your hospitals.. like we had done in England !!! Cos well.. you cannot have everything. And I bet you that, those so called private healthcare people... Also no longer is able to get the staff otherwise either. Whether foreign or otherwise. So find an exit route then for your company..... So weird that, they loved it when the businesses were good.. but refuses to merge their businesses or to sell up.. when things got bad. This is what business is. Have to grow, and have to shrink. To expect this much from a closed and small market is delusional thinking.

  85.  @taffyterrier  : They created the locum system... and then actually.. went for gold... and opted for actually... like 3 to 4 times their perm salaries. So it became a locum good for all. Until people kicked up a fuss about it. So then they reduced their hours etc. And then.. many people quit.. cos it is starting to hit at their incomes etc. e.g. Both their own clinics...(which is their own properties)... As well as their own earnings etc. So it ends up, the day of the country, serving them, as economic serfs ? And the other thing is, there is more than enough individuals that are from the ethnic minority background that are doctors and nurses. At first, I thought that there was a shortage.. but well.. they have caught up now. A lot. So many Asians are now doctors... So many. I actually also don't see that many white faces people any more as well, which is very strange indeed. Super strange ! The people who lost of opted out of their jobs... They went onto other areas. Either teaching..(so therefore, again, higher salaries... or asks those students to pay those fees)... It's like... Imagine... if you were once upon a time, an actual doctor. And then you have the doctor's pension. And then your clinic as well. And then you have that pension pot and then onto teaching. You then start teaching. So you end up with TWO different pension pots as well... So who loses out here???... The rest who doesn't have TWO pots !!!!! It is outrageous what some people do in this country. Somebody was similar too. He had a civil servant pension, and then he stayed inside the insurance sector, has an ultra high private pension... which is in conflict with interests to what goes on. He creates hassling group.. to pester certain people to vote a certain way as well. This should NOT be allowed ! In the end.. it means that his life and future is secured. Whereas the rest of the population isn't !

  127.  @ninitch42  : When the majority of Filipino nurses, were allowed into the country, and gain citizenship. It is from the State/Government that you would stay until you retire... and not to run off, in the middle of your working life. THAT is what people are annoyed about. Cos even if you start off low, the ladder works itself out.. it goes UPWARDS... you would get promoted. A lot of people who did the 40 years of working life, does it. And then they save for their children as well... It is rare to have such a permanent job. Alas, you only see the money sign and not the long road.. but you want the short cuts. This is also normal.... cos I've done that too when I was younger, I burn out by the time I am in my middle of my 20s. I kind of needed a break. This is why, you need to pace yourself. A lot of people, does not also ask for help either.. when they are too stressed from the work. Nurses's HR support, also might not exists as well. If you were very local... Many nurses, rather than a desk job, or a side way move, to reduce the work load first. Or some people, go onto the rota schemes and does part time instead.... (which works out, a LOT better mentally and emotionally for themselves as well).... I hope you would change your mind... and consider what we said. A lot of nurses, have indeed taken side moves.... but stays in the NHS as well. Some people does some basic researches. Whatever it may be... I just hope that you may change your mind at some point. Many people are very qualified individuals as well... A chef could be a doctor in another country, here in the UK. Or a mechanical engineer, when British Steel was nationally owned, but now they work in most administrative/managerial roles. I know one STEM... she went into customer services... (but of a scientific company).... And because she didn't see it another way, after my talk, she got promoted within 4 years into Customer Service's Manager. See ???.. It is possible. And in those years, she quickly had kids asap.

  158. But a lot of people also had families that helped one another as well.... so... Like, I keep hearing the Italian arguments... and yet, I still recall buying stupid toys from Italy or stickers, which propped them up. Gave away toys from my Christmas pressies.. to those in war torn Romania... (only for those Romanians today, to take a bite back at me)... I have peed into buckets as well.. before.. to garden my mother's council house's garden... too... So that we had veggies. AND we ran an actual take aways as well... And when we did not have food... to sell.. it was the British Indians that sold us those spicy chickens to tie over with.... to keep us going. The amount of insanities.. that came to us.. before... And yet, when my mother, had saw us grown up... she literally then... just... And all of us, worked. Everywhere.... Lots of kids, my age did paper rounds as well.. etc etc etc.... And yeh.. right now.. all of my savings, have gone.. all of my father's pension is gone. Those stupid banks, just outsources it.. and kept somebody else alive, an dnot back to the children who worked hard, and not into their next of kin.. either... THAT is what you get for "being British".... Oh, I get insulted for not speaking manadarin in recent years. Fancy that. So I know, English, French, Spanish, German... had to learn ALL of those in school.. and had to help out at home and in actual family businesses as well... And also to fix any boiler issues... and whatever... to then what.. be insulted by an oik ???? From across the globe? And yet, nobody could save me. My boss insulted me too. Sure.. he could sleep with the woman whose father worked his way up and married into inheritances.... For me. I just want euthanasia... That is it. DONE. I am DONE. Oh, maybe I could open a church, and get "donations"... like most scammers do.... or did... That is how SE Asia rose from the ground. Cos they play against the rules. Any which way.

  188.  @blacklisted4885  : "Social media" defines writings on their forums which is not "nice" as "hate"... but this channel is a proper news channel... so this is reporting REAL news. It is not reporting rumours, hearsays, adverts, or even promotions. The fact that a British citizens.. or an "expat".. doesn't even understand which screen and which channel is a real company or not... kind of makes the whole situation really fake. They see something online, and then make up the entire story behind it. And "hope for the best".... the government counts the number of people coming in and going out. And they count how many houses are built. And the figures doesn't add up !!!! Basically !!! Cos you have to register a house. Cos you have to register a person coming and leaving the country. It doesn't add up !!! You cannot have a country with around 60% of its population, playing rotation and being temporary in and out... That is not a society ! People used to stay. Pay taxes, and live in a house. Now it is full of part time workers. Why ???? And this affects the companies listed in the stock exchanges too. As in... nobody would fire you. Or they shouldn't. But the fact that so many transient individuals.. it makes life, a lot harder ????? Cos it means that the income of taxes is not even steady. This is why some areas, some councils are now bankrupt.... cos people aren't paying taxes either. You get to use facilities.. but you forget to pay for it. So somebody else paid for you before you got into the UK. So if you don't pay before you leave. Then the next person can't benefit either. It isn't fair.. but that had been the way for a long time. So it doesn't help yourself.. at all !!!!

  195.  @Skygrey2943  : The financial crash is caused by the migration of people and using credit cards too, and some of those actions caused the situation to liquidate the reserve pool. So many infracture lending between countries that were setup before... ended up forcing or indirectly forcing... situations to occur like, absolute freedom of movements? So... today, when you see the media, why is social media now exists in the world? Should it be as so, and BE as such? The answer is a good "no". We now have no manual control of the internet. We have no control over the AI. We have lost ALL controls as well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWjr0dgMqc0 <--- I did not even know that this went on. It certainly was NEVER reported to UK news that I have seen.. or have I missed it ?.... The increase of HIV, TB and HCV across Europe. So these individuals, have never registered with a GP ? Never had any or actual records of their own, for the past 2 generations? Really ? Not at all ? Never had the records since childhood, or birth ???.... So people are transient for the sake of transient, and gets jabs anyway for the sake of it ? Since when did we have to have regular winter jabs, to protect ourselves from others? Why this kind of inverse... politics ? Why ???... And yet, we cannot even speak about issues like this, at all ?... We are now, today, using local national level tactics to deal with some of the UN level issues.... Why should we have rolled upwards this way ? WHY !?... We should have a right to deport some people actually. And create quarantine centres !!!!....
