First flight to Rwanda on Tuesday for asylum seekers then, if it doesn't get appealed on Monday. 

We should run a poll, "will it actually leave or not?".

 

I'd guess "no".

I'd guess "yes". But with no-one on it.

Well hopefully something gets sorted as the news the other day said uncle Joe was negotiating with Spain to take some of his migrants from Latin America.

Déjà vu. So you didn't actually find anything slightly credible.

Oh yes. A 10 second search found me an article from the Telegraph no less.

Since I asked you to play Devils advocate and post your findings I assume you struggled? Perhaps your search criteria was inadequate? Post up your search terms and perhaps that will shine some light on why you can’t find the answers you seek.

I think it's a good thing that the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic mushrooms are being noted again. "Big Pharma" won't be happy as you can wipe out PTSD, depression, and associated addictions in one dose.

Whilst after doing some research, I am somewhat sceptical at the £30-75 per hour, I wouldn't expect any Dr to be earning less than 100 an hour especially as a jobbing locum.

 

NHS waste is more at the top than at the bottom, removing useless layers of upper management and return to central style purchasing where they had the power to negotiate and drive down prices.

To be fair £800 a day is not that much in the grand scheme of things. They have earned the right to earn that kinda money through the 7-10 years of intense training and low pay. 

 

The Semi-submersible Im currently working on is contracted to Neptune Energy. The Consultants here are on £1000-3000 a day. But then there is no salary, no sick pay and no pension.

Well those redcaps certainly sort any ailments. 100% success rate, your problems are however forced upon someone else tho.

You live in the world of daft money on oil rigs, I have a mate who is a chef on one, he gets a very generous full-time wage for a part-time job.

I struggle to make more than £90 an hour on dry land, but I do get to hang out with my friends and family when I want to.

Aye, I've no idea what on earth could be funny about this subject and as someone close to me suffers from depression I've had a keen interest in this subject for some time and there would seem to be many anecdotal reports of folk getting off antidepressants by micro dosing with Psilocybin.. they don't take enough of it to have any effect other than raising their mood slightly.

 

As far as I'm concerned pharma do their best to conceal or bury any treatment from nature that may give relief in as they can't patent it / them... we'll never know all the things that may well have made a difference in untold numbers of peoples lives... either hidden when discovered or long since lost to memory.

 

St John's Wort is another natural alternative remedy for depression banned quite a while ago by the EU no doubt at the behest of big pharma and their push to make us sick and keep us sick $$$$$
