“I love it when you talk dirty to me”

@JamalHu69 @timricketts_ @yarlett_andrew @Dr_BellaR That’s a different question. I’m sure 99% of Drs genuinely care so it’s not just about the money. You will always be able to find outliers that earn more.

@timricketts_ @SRW99 @yarlett_andrew @Dr_BellaR Why do any Doctors stay in Cuba when taxi drivers earn more? I get a lot leave, but when even some stay, it raises a questions about the universality of economic motivation, and whether the prestige of being a Doctor and contributing to society is a motivating force in itself.

@JamalHu69 @yarlett_andrew @Dr_BellaR The simple answer to a complex question is yes. Those in roles that require extensive training, carry high levels of responsibility and are expose to continual trauma should be paid more.

@yarlett_andrew @Dr_BellaR I agree with all of this, but my question is whether these things make them more deserving of a better life than those who don’t have them or, phrased differently, whether those who don’t do these things deserve a worse income and standard of living.

@stoney632 Do you really expect them to leave people to drown?

I see the RNLI are heavily advertising at the moment 🤔 ‘Just £3 a month’ ‘We can’t do our work without your donations’ So they want us to contribute to assist their efforts ,mostly collecting illegal spongers , which we then pay to house and keep in hotels here No thanks

@PFEW_HQ @PoliceChiefs This is a race to the bottom of the barest minimum level of fitness. TBH it’s now getting dangerous the level of physical ability that people seem to think is required to do what at times is a role that requires you to physically control someone.

With 3.7 now being the scientifically proven level of the new PPST curriculum for fitness tests, PFEW Equality Lead Ian Saunders raises concerns over @PoliceChiefs sticking to the old 5.4 grade - disregarding latest research from a leading specialist commissioned by themselves.

@jkmccrann @DrProudman Shared parental leave sounds great however it makes sense that the parent earning the best living returns to work to ensure the family is best provided for; so what’s your plan?

@DrProudman Spot on! It's about time men took on more parental responsibilities

@DawnOBrien55 @mentorstrophy @ksorbs It ran for 5 seasons 🤷‍♂️

@mentorstrophy @ksorbs It was canceled after one season.

Holidays closing in fast. Send a cameo to a Herk and/or Andromeda and/or any of my movies fans!

@mrjamesob Trusted sources is an interesting phrase. Each source has their own narrative to put out this is equally true of traditional news sources. What this means is that a wider range of sources should encourage critical thinking rather than echo chambers.

Musk didn’t just flood the platform with bad actors, conspiracy theorists, disinformation disseminators & propagandists, he gave them the (imperfect but effective) verification mark that had previously been reserved for proven trusted sources. And now we reap what he sowed.

@andygeorgeni You don’t need to choose building trust in the workforce or the community build both as one without the other is destined to fail. The police are the public and the public are the police. It’s concerning that you have a narrow view between the two.

In the era of Casey, Op Hotton, Child Q etc the last thing policing needs is lower standards. Sir Mark has failed to grip the situation because he is trying to keep everyone happy. He needs to decide is building trust in the community or the workforce his priority

@dcsprior @DrProudman I don’t disagree with the idea it’s simply one that will fail as the law by definition needs to be distinct. If you use your method someone 2 years and 1 week older would be committing an offence which is obviously a nonsense. You could make it work by say 10 years older

@DrProudman As soon as you add in a staggered age of consent you will have unintended consequences such as people in loving relationships suddenly becoming too old… the concept makes sense but at some point you need a age of consent fixed in law.

@OzGoofyPrincess @DrProudman Unfortunately as soon as you add in a moving age you will end up with unintended consequences; staggered or not. The concept makes sense but at some point you need to have a fixed age of consent.

@SRW99 @DrProudman She specifically said staggered

@transonicduke @samsbit @PedanticPerson @AyoCaesar Simply because officers have a lawful power to use force If the officer acts under a understanding that his or anothers life is under threat then he has a power use lethal force; if this is then put through a court on each occasion we create an impossible position for the officer

@SRW99 @samsbit @PedanticPerson @AyoCaesar If the decision was shooting someone in the face then yeah I'd want it to go to trial. If I make a decision that results in someone dying then it would go through the courts, why should they be different?

Armed police officers, when they sign up for the job, do so on the basis that they're still meant to be accountable through the law for their actions. It's revealing that they chuck their toys out the pram on the rare occasion when that principle is actually enforced.

@samsbit @PedanticPerson @AyoCaesar It’s not quite that simple. If you were to make a decision at work even if it was completely correct would you be happy to undergo a trial and potentially go to prison (the stress on both yourself and family would be horrendous)

@PedanticPerson @AyoCaesar Right but isn’t that why there’s going to be a trial? If they can’t even be *charged* then there are literally no chances of consequences in the case of wrongdoing

@PearlsorPebbles @KateCox59582715 @MarinaPurkiss Just to confirm Cliff that the fact you’ve worked hard to put yourself in a strong financial position and then seen your assets grow has nothing to do with hard work… so if you research and choose what to buy or wisely invest for strong returns has nothing to do with hard work?

@KateCox59582715 @MarinaPurkiss Unless your property is worth more than £500k there is no inheritance tax. If it worth more than £500k then you have been the beneficiary of property inflation which has nothing to do with hard work.

People celebrating the abolishment of inheritance tax without realising they don’t stand a chance of ever paying it… Some people never learn.

@Moesby66 @DrProudman The danger of immediately knowing without having to see any evidence is that you only allow yourself a limited view. Brand may be guilty or not however let’s allow the evidence to be weighed against all reasonable doubt rather than torch waving and claims of ‘all men’

@SRW99 @DrProudman The thing is, Steven, women hear these stories and we recognise the authenticity of them immediately. Because we live amongst you people. Our lives are structured around avoiding your violence. We can’t leave a fucking drink unattended anywhere because of you. We know you. Deal.

@cjd1955 @DrProudman If you were burgled and offered crime prevention advise to reduce the risk of it happening again would you see this a allowing the burglars to run free or a sensible course of action? Of course advise could be extreme (put metal shutters on every window) or fit an alarm

@DrProudman Why are so many of the comments on here disputing 3? What do you mean by taking precautions? Not going out at night? Wearing a burka? Not trusting their partner or friends? Do you not see the constraints on women while the rapists run free

@DrProudman I find your position for a lawyer odd. If someone is found innocent the courts have failed if they are found guilty then no one can speak up for them… which is it are the courts right? Or does an allegation out way the evidence?
