Or ex-services. There is a guaranteed job in private "security" for ex-forces personnel. They tend to be much more aggressive than the ex-police. Some were in tears when wheel-clamping got stamped on....a ready market for money ended overnight. Shame. My ex got informed the a clamp on her car would be removed for £50 cash, or she could step into the van for a few minutes. All assholes, the lot of them.

Re: Show us evidence..

Then they get an S172 (identify driver at time/date) ticket off the police.

Re: A note on "anonymous" data

Define "medical personnel".

One of my prescription items was altered by "a clinician", they refused to name who (I asked who had altered it).

Upon accessing my summary care record online, I noted that details of prescribing, including who had prescribed the meds, or altered them, was available. The "clinician" who had altered it was the very nice young lady who sits behind the receptionists desk. Unfortunately, she had no access to full med records or she would have seen that the item she altered it to had given me problems in the past. But the new item saved the local CG £96/yr.

Re: A note on "anonymous" data

Not a problem. Care.data will have to anonymise it. The GP practice has no say, the entire data set is downloaded from the practice: All of it. The patient "opt-out" only comes into play at the HSCIC.

Note that it will be illegal for the practice to allow the data to be captured against the data subjects instructions (DPA), AND illegal for them to not allow it to be captured (H&SCR act)

Heads they lose: Tails they lose.

Re: Hardly a surprise

It would be nice if they had informed people that it would happen, obviously APPLE knew, they just failed to inform the CUSTOMER that his/her device could only be repaired at their overpriced glossy repair shops. If they can get an appointment at a time suitable to them. No doubt after connecting the brick to iTunes the data on the host is also deleted, or the account bricked. Security: Of income to Apple (falling sales? This isn't going to help is it?)

Re: Conceal minor offenses after 10 years

Q.7: Is a DBS/CRB certificate transferable (i.e. to another employer)? What is the DBS Update Service?

If the applicant is a member of the "DBS Update Service" they need to show you their original hard-copy DBS certificate. You need to check that it is the:

correct level (Standard or Enhanced),

correct workforce (adult or child workforce) and ....

that the barred list checks were carried out (if you need them).

The applicant must also need to provide you with their unique "DBS Update Subscription Number", so that you can check if their have been any changes to their DBS certificate.

To do this please go to the DBS website and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the applicant is not a member of the DBS Update Service, there are a number of factors you should take into consideration before accepting a DBS certificate issued by a different employer.

Please refer to the DBS guidelines on accepting a previously issued certificate which can be found on their website.

The DBS Update Service is managed solely by the DBS. If you have any problems or queries regarding the DBS Update Service, please contact the DBS by telephone: 03000 200 190 or email.

Actually, it's so that the police can send someone round to shag her first. After the PNC was altered so that any/all checks on women for personal reasons (IE: going round her place after midnight to check her status) were logged (resulting in a large number of early retirements, and a few convictions).

Never attribute a reason for doing something to justice when a base reason is more likely to be accurate.

The rehabilitation of offenders act means that offences committed over ten years previously do not have to be disclosed and are not shown on a standard DBS disclosure. An advanced disclosure shows all convictions, and any other information on-file that is considered relevant. Except in DBSScotland, where even standard disclosures result in total CR disclosure. Hence the reason several large employers go to Scotland for checks. Several English councils, acting as "umbrella" organisations also use DBS Scotland.

There is an official route around all civil rights/justice obligations.

Re: MP letter-writing time again

Listen:

If you are a guy, or guys, or women, and you have whole stack of money, and you "sponsor" someone to be Your Man (or Your Woman) in government, you do not want them to be too bright or independent.

They are only there to glow in the light of publicity, big themselves up on the TV, and do what you tell them to.

Hence Dumbos' R Us in Westmonster.

Re: No! You _must_ blame them for trying!

Democracy is for little people.

Those who do not get "the big picture"

Governments are not worried about terrorists: Terrorists get to be a problem when there are a lot in one organisation with Big Bombs, for those we have armies.

Governments are not worried about other governments: They are usually run by the same type of people, only differing by language of nation, they all have Big Bombs so do not want the other owners of Big Bombs to drop them ON them (mutually assured self-protection)

Governments are worried about their own people, and their own people getting together with other governments own people.

OK, we have no guns; but a corpse is not overly worried if it got blown-up, bludgeoned, stabbed or shot, any-way, it is no longer living.

Several tens of millions of seriously pissed-off people with hammers, are more interesting to our government than a few hundred suicide bombers.

Hence mass surveillance...

Re: I think it *will* be a ghastly mess

Given that with a system powered from renewable sources, some form of system regulation will be needed. smart meters will be part of the "demand side regulation" (as opposed to having loads of dispatchable generators)....they will enable rapid re-pricing of supply...who is going to continue running the dryer/washer/dishwasher when the unit cost has just clicked into 75p/unit?

And it will, of course, be a costly, patchy, bodged and unworking mess. Just like a lot of .gov ideas...

Re: Should we follow the money?

Up someone elses ass...

Re: Or, on the other hand, we could actually solve the problem

In my experience, the male toilets are full of females urinating. Those with no female presence tend to have a smell that requires a strong stomach to tolerate. After 6 pints strong stomachs are not much in evidence. Instead of pissing down a wall, just pee on the ground.

"Some, not all"

I think it highly unlikely that only some abuse a "gentlemans agreement".

It's much more likely that the other 42 forces are busy ignoring the "law".

After all, they're hardly going to be chasing themselves to court, are they.
