Staying sane in an uncertain world

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 It's time for a new style of government. Every decade or so we swap between left and right and many of the same issues remain and then the particular issues of socialism or capitalism make its mark on society. We need a shift in consciousness and educate, educate, educate...

@JeremyVineOn5 I'm not saying we should ban cake. However, I worked for a top health charity and I can tell you research 12 years ago informed the charity that poor diet was already surpassing smoking as the top health risk - we were told to squash this info.

@JeremyVineOn5 From 20 years working in civil service roles including the NHS, I have seen admin departments as a hiding place for many inadequate people happy to take a wage for spending 40% of their time playing minesweeper and other time and money wasting activities.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 Slightly off point but want to mention, whilst I don't always agree with his opinion, @bonsuman is a kind and patient man, when he is interrupted and talked over he just calmly gives space for the ego of others.

@JeremyVineOn5 @JJAnisiobi @StormHuntley and Ann Widdecombe great show today - enjoying the laughter!

@JeremyVineOn5 This is already practice in many restaurants. I tip the individual based on their service and want that individual to get the tip. I think tips can provide an opportunity for staff to aspire to perform even better. We need to value hospitality roles more in the UK.

@JeremyVineOn5 @NinaMyskow @lizziecundy what should be scrapped is panellists who debate in this atrocious manner just because they can't agree.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 It's good to have balance and human interest items. However, for me, its the item title - 'is it okay...?' How is it a question for anybody else to decide or judge. BTW my friends 10 year old son is called Lockie.

@PackedLunchC4 my primary school maths teacher used to do baking in our maths lessons (40 yrs ago) - it all makes sense now - I'm good at calculation and love baking and cooking!

@KleeKleemusic @JeremyVineOn5 All sorts make the world go round. My relative spent it on clothes for clubbing.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@HcHcoz @KleeKleemusic @JeremyVineOn5 Sorry I haven't articulated myself well if that's what you got from I said. I know lots of people on working tax credits and they don't have to see any work coach. The majority of people on benefits are honest, deserving people. My fear is we will be punished for the few.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 I don't think genuine claimants should suffer for fraudsters but the system needs revision as there aren't any background checks or monitoring. I say this as a disabled person who was working up until covid but now am on benefits.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 25 years ago me and a relative went to work in Greece. They found out they could claim British unemployment benefit abroad, so worked in a bar and once a fortnight got the bus into Corfu Town to sign on. They've been frauding the benefit system ever since.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 Well said @KlassMyleene and @Jeffrey_Archer - let's stop speculating on this.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@St__Evens @CEAK @JeremyVineOn5 @OwenJones84 @theJeremyVine *to clarify by 'her' I mean the caller Jill from Cornwall.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@St__Evens @CEAK @JeremyVineOn5 @OwenJones84 @theJeremyVine I think I understand the point you're making, however, I won't debate further with you as I think it detracts from Clare's original comment which I thought would have been a fruitful line of questioning - it might have solved her issue and got a willing person employment.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@St__Evens @CEAK @JeremyVineOn5 @OwenJones84 @theJeremyVine Hi Brian, I'm not sure that comparing Boris (assuming Johnson) to the caller who Owen called a liar helpful - would that not assume she knew the statistics she was quoting were inaccurate and she was trying to deceive the show?

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 @OwenJones84 Owen your behaviour this morning is very passive-aggresive and borderline narcissistic, eye rolling, I'm not surprised Ann reacted as she did - what a great start to her birthday not!

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@CEAK @JeremyVineOn5 @OwenJones84 @theJeremyVine That would have been useful - could have linked her up with someone whos wants the job. Owen's behaviour is atrocious this morning - passive aggressive eye-rolling when Anne speaks and now calling viewers lucky enough to get through on the phone, 'liars'.

[changingmyspots @changingmyspots]

@JeremyVineOn5 @theJeremyVine I like the show but I'm repeatedly dismayed by the passive aggressive behaviour of many panel members - please can we have more centric agile mindsets instead of the contant parade of fixed mindsets - possibly back to a panel of three might work? Less arguing more solutions...
