The doc protected his income by signing him off.
So your 'generation' didn't always just 'crack on with it' then?

My generation remembers the 70s and even bits of the end of the 60s.
(Stuff like Beatles playing on top of the apple building.first moon landing. Pre decimal coins three day week and power cuts. Bread shortage, potato shortage. Labour govts that weren't blair.
im not sure your generation remembers much of the 80s
Cheap houses, free education, families surviving on single incomes...

my generation knows hardship and knows that we can pull ourselves together, even after going to the docs, it was still all down to you to deal with, the doc made little difference apart from protecting your income.
How did they protect your income?

I think they f**ked up the first graph which contradicts the headline.

I'm sat here waiting for a call from DWP for an assessment which should give me around an extra £100 a fortnight if I pass it (and back-dated eight months which should be a nice lump of cash)
just need to tell them the right things. my wife doesn't trust me to do that Cos I try to be confident about doing things for myself and overstate what I can do.
As this is a working assessment saying I cant walk or carry things ( and that my brain is too fried to be accurate) should do it I hope.
I hate phone calls since my brain injury so I'm only looking forward to the call to get it over with.i hope They're reliable and do actually call.
My uncle is in a similar position to you and has a similar philosophy but we always tell him that you need to tell the doctors and the DWP how you are on a bad day rather than how you are on a good day as that's what decisions are made on. Hope it goes well.

not really, Israel wasn't convinced they'd have peaceful co-existence, cos the Palestinians haven't shown they can do it.

Iran has been taking the piss out of the USA just like saddam had done. They had to show Saddam who was boss. If the yanks take Iran down they could end the trouble in syria too. Except Syria would fragment without Assad.
Are you suggesting 'showing Saddam who was boss' worked in any way? Or that that was a good template for things in the future? The mind boggles if so.

I’m not sure which imbecile at Leeds council signed off a major Palestine protest at the same time as all the Leeds fans are making their way to the match.
Complete carnage in town as 10000s of fans are trying to find new routes to the stadium as the usual routes are full of protesters.
It’s like the protesters are deliberately looking to cause problems.
I f**king hate it when a load of people protesting about thousands of people dying get in the way of football fans getting to a football match... inconsiderate c**ts.

I also struggle to believe that a journalist nobody's ever heard of who has 92 followers on twitter writing for a news outlet nobodies ever heard of has access to this type of information when the rest of the western media and governments doesn't. There's far too much misinformation on all sides.

I know everyone will think I'm a conspiracy nut but the author of this article writes for the Israeli Times so I can't help think it might be a little biased in the same way I'd think an article written by a journalist from the 'Palestine Times' claiming the Israelies did it needed to be taken with a pinch of salt.

2 instances here were mattiloy accuses squirrel of racism yet no one says anything. Strange that.
You should also really quote the comment mattiloy was responding to which is one of many victim blaming, anti-Palestine posts Squirrel has posted over the past couple of weeks.

They’ve got a habit of starting civil wars wherever they are due to their extremist religious beliefs.

and few people of your mindset refer to the decades of human rights abuses by Palestinians not just this one specific conflict.
I think this demonstrates Israel aren't without blame.

So it’s looking like it was a rocket site based in a hospital that misfired killing the operators on the ground. Lots of great propaganda material from the aftermath.
Hagar is claiming that the rockets were fired from a cemetery rather than the hospital so what you're writing is incorrect based on what we know so far.

apparently very much true.
Have you got a source as apparently Israel cannot confirm these claims?

I've just seen that it's national cinema day this weekend so it's 3 squid for tickets at the majority of cinemas... thought it might be of interest to those on here.

I understand, that’s a fair approach. Why don’t the other mods do anything?
Surely calling people ‘morons’ ‘dumb’ ‘c*nts’ constantly is ground for the mods to step in?
On this policy you and Neil are acting like 'dumb c**ts', 'morons' and more insultingly 'tories'... the fact that it is the one think that Steve and Fray have agreed on ever speaks volumes.

The sign language interpreters (sorry if that's not the correct term) have been amazing this weekend whether you enjoyed this set or not.

Anyone else struggling with the Clashfinder? When I click on the box for the thing to add it, it just gives the URL to that things own page at the bottom and does nothing else. Sure its user error but I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.
If you click the three lines on the top right and select 'Desktop Clashfinder' you should be right.

My parents took my sister to the doctors with anorexia in 1989 and were just told to take her to Mcdonalds! Obviously awareness and knowledge of mental health issues is in a much better place now which should be celebrated rather than focusing on the extremely small of people who are making false claims.
