For your rent, rent is due from the first day of occupation... You're paying for exclusive use of the property which you are entitled to from the day you start paying for it! Good luck 🤞 At school we had to wear shirt and tie with a blazer and skirt... No trousers allowed!

School uniform - it stops children from poorer backgrounds being bullied for not being able to afford the latest clothes or the parents of poor children feeling like they have to buy the latest sneakers rather than buy their children food.

That's the principal, but the stuff with the logo on, like jumpers, can be damned expensive due to smaller production runs. In general uniform clothes are more expensive than ordinary clothes, at least in my experience.

@@BurningFlame08 Yes, but the poverty line is really low and there are large numbers that are just above the poverty line. That's not to say I'm against uniforms as I remember hating ties when at school but now that I've left school I actually savour the moments I need to wear a tie. Rather than state the money issue personally, I believe a better argument for uniforms is the physiological effect the formalness of the clothes can have. The uniform means this is work time and one must focus on work but take the uniform off and it becomes me time and I can do what I want.

I had to wear a uniform with a tie and honestly it made things so easy in the morning, as I didn't need to think about what I was going to wear. Also, I didn't have very many cool clothes as a kid and I would have felt bad about it compared to others who had mothers who took them shopping all the time.
The nhs has saved my life and family members lives so many times. People take it for granted.
Wearing a school uniform, was brought in to deal with a societal issue of bullying. It was to stop kids being bullied for wearing unfashionable clothes or non brand names. It also stops people having to choose different clothes every day. Especially when poorer families haven’t got many different clothes to choose from. My kids didn’t mind wearing school uniform. Many if not most kids have clip on ties. The blazers may be the most expensive part of the uniform that a parent has to buy, but, every other bit of the uniform is cheap. Skirts, trousers, shirts or blouses can be bought in most supermarkets. Usuallly there are sales on in the 6 weeks holidays, so that parents can buy the uniforms ready for when their kids go back to school. It’s just easier to know what your going to wear every day. Not having to think about it. Of course there are people that hate wearing school uniforms. But when I was growing up, I hated having to have certain clothes to just fit in, while at school and the fear of being bullied. I couldn’t wait until I went to high school, where they wore a uniform.

Life expectancy in the UK is about 3 years longer than the US. Weirdly there's also a significant racial disparity in both places, but in different directions. In the US black people have a shorter life expectancy than average, while black people in the UK have a higher life expectancy than white people, with Black African Brits having a particularly high life expectancy. It's been suggested the reason for this is that US black people are less likely to seek medical attention because of the cost, and share similar unhealthy lifestyles to white people (e.g. eating junk food, lots of meat, and being less active), while black British people tend to still have elements of their family's culture, which usually includes a lot of home cooking and vegetable based dishes.

The reason there are more older people is simply we are living longer... because we are living healthier and the NHS is treating our sickness better too. Average life expectancy is 2 years older than in the USA.... but a few other European Countries do even better.

5:40 The NHS is NOT free. We, the taxpayers, pay for the service collectively to ensure that we are all able to access healthcare when we require it with no cost at the point of service.
As a female I get offered yearly smear tests (cervical cancer) from the NHS, it starts at around 18 and the more at risk you are the more often they invite you. I pay NOTHING for this and if I was to get cervical cancer NONE of my treatment would be payed for out of my pocket. I do pay national insurance on my wages as we all do but it's worth it.

I'm so glad I had to wear a uniform, it was not uncomfortable to wear a tie at all. Usually, tie's are a part of secondary school uniforms, not primary so most people won't wear one until they're 11+. Not having to worry about picking an outfit out every day, especially when all your clothes are secondhand made life so much easier for me. The amount of bullying I would have got for being less well off than my classmates would have put me in an awful place mentally - luckily I didn't have to deal with that because of a uniform. Also, saying it's assault is frankly offensive to those who've experienced assault - it's not even in the same ballpark, please never compare the two again.

You can still be bullied for countless other reasons like I was
School uniforms are actually a good idea if you think about it, it at least gets rid of kids being bullied for their clothes. Many kids are living under the poverty line and their parents can't afford all the latest fashion trends, resulting in kids being bullied for wearing torn, washed-up clothes. At least with school uniform, everyone is wearing the same thing so it eliminates at least that reason for bullying.

Exactly. Better health = longer lives = older population who may need healthcare because they are old.
You NEED to watch '24 Hours in A&E'. It shows 24 hours in what you would call the ED. Patients are filmed with their knowledge and permission and whatever happens is shown in the programme. They then follow up with their stories. You get. To see exactly what goes on in a London hospital. It's very heartwarming 😊
I didn't mind my uniform really cause it meant I didn't need to figure out what to wear every day and my tie was a clip-on so it wasn't really uncomfortable, even the blazer was comfy, the only time I didn't like it was when it was very very hot and the teacher insisted we kept the blazers on. ^^
Most renters in UK need to pay a months rent in advance, this is incase you suddenly up and leave without telling the landlord or if you leave the place totally trashed Here it is usually held as a "deposit" and returned to you when you move out and the apartment is in good order. Not sure how it works in the US tho. Maybe a month upfront is just standard?
Most schools use clip on ties now. As others have said, School uniform is to make it harder for bullies to pick on the lower income families as they are all "uniform" and it isn't as obvious as to who the poorer students are. I can tell from personal experience that if I went to school in the clothes my parents could afford, It would have been hell.

Tut, tut. Kids have it so easy now. When I was at school we had proper ties. My Dad had to show me how to tie it and we practised for hours until I could do it without thinking. I didn't mind wearing a uniform or wearing a tie. It was all part of the right of passage of moving to "big" school and all my friends were in the same boat. I can remember my Mum taking me to the school outfitters to buy the blazer. She was always one to save her pennies when she could, so she bought one that hung off me like a tent for the first couple of years and fit me pretty well for another couple of years but, by the Fifth year, I couldn't do it up and the sleeves only came down to my mid-forearm.
If you want a whole spine MRI scan in the UK, privately, cost is £700-1000. A private (non-NHS) flu jab in a pharmacy is usually about £15.
I really liked having to wear my school uniform. No decision to make in the morning and we all looked the same
The life expectancy for men and women in the US in 2016 was 76.4 and 81.4 years, while in the UK, those numbers stood at 79.04 and 82.72.
I’ve had 19 operations in my life most of which involved open heart surgery, and along with my mum I guesstimated that if I took into account. Scans, Operations, Hospital visits, nights in hospital, Medications (15 different at its highest) and other stuff like X-Rays, Blood tests and stuf like that would have cost my family 6 million dollars. In the UK I received the EXACT SAME operations to the EXACT SAME quality for ZERO POUNDS.
Recently I spent two days in hospital after I had a operation, they even offered to take me home, the cost - £0
I wear a tie at school at the moment and the tightness around the neck depends on how tight the collar of your shirt is. If the shirt collar is loose around the neck then the tie doesn't strangle you.
The NHS is not perfect (no system is) and we do pay for it through tax. However, it does mean that the poorest get the same level of treatment as everyone else, so it is not based on ability to pay. You can go private in the UK, but not for emergency care.

You have the option of private medicine in the UK. Nobody goes private for emergencies or for the most serious conditions, when the huge resources of the NHS are advantageous, but for minor treatments, the NHS rations care by making you wait. Private patients can get treated immediately.

School uniform - it puts on a united front and gives the School more of a community feel. Also studies suggest that uniform make students want to do school work and allow them to be more focused on their work. no one sees it as abuse at all :) in fact by the time most people have left school they completely agree with school uniform the only people you'll see saying they dislike it are the 11-12 year olds

Hey Favor In the UK you can dial 999 for a life and death emergency and an ambalance will be sent. You can also walk into a hospitals Accident and emergency if it's not life or death but something that needs treating. They treage you within minutes of arriving to decide if you need immediate attention or you can wait behind more serious cases. My niece cut her head on a table. It needed skin glue to close the cut. They waited 4 hours to be seen after they added her! It's the same for non critical ops. Like a hip replacement may mean a 6 to 8 week wait. NHS also has a non emergency helpline staffed with nurses and doctors that you can ring 24/7 for medical advice. You're right in that taxes cover the NHS but those in full time Education, if pregnant, pensioners and those will no or little income do not pay taxes towards the NHS but are as entitled to help if needed as anyone else.
We pay via our taxes and national insurance, but you don't pay tax, if you earn £12,570 or less per year and national insurance, if you earn £183 or less per week.
The population in the UK is not increasing because of people having more children just that healthcare has improved so much over the past decade that more people are living longer

Health care is prioritized based one need in the UK. I think the fact that life expectancy is higher in the UK compared to US and also child mortality is way worse in the US - those are two very big stats.
Check your lease. You may get it back at the back end.
My nan is 91 years old and she's still going strong 👍
The school uniform is actually good because it ensures everyone is the same. There are parts of the U.K. where there isn’t much rules on uniform. I’m in the north of Scotland and we had to wear a hoody with the school logo on and then anything else that is black or grey. Also white polo shirts with school logo. But because we could wear whatever shoes or trousers it resulted in me being picked on somewhat. Because I wore primark jeans and not some fancy brand. And I wore Tesco shoes and not nike. If there was an actual full uniform I doubt I would’ve been picked on.
The healthcare system in the US is a business they aren't interested in preventative medicine because if people don't get sick the hospitals don't make any money - I've seen Drs recommend expensive surgical treatments to patients that just aren't needed but the Dr has to recommend so the hospital makes $$$s. On the other hand the nhs in the UK although free has its drawbacks - long waiting lists for non life threatening surgeries so people are living with chronic pain whilst waiting for surgery. It's tricky to get second opinions and you can only prescribe what's on the hospital medicine list unless you get special exemptions. Healthcare staff are paid by the state and wages are low and hours are long
Why don't you apply to train in the UK, you would receive a bursary and pay when on the wards, while doing your nursing degree you would find that accommodation could be available at a lower cost through the University, you also get specialist training if you want to move on from general nursing, no medical fees ever ! You could also work on your three off days a week while training giving extra spending money for nice things and travel around the world. And paid holidays....plus. plus. Plus.....
you dont need to look far, here in Canada we have free healthcare
In the UK, if you rent, you pay a deposit, which is the price of of your rent on top of your rent as normal, if you leave, you get the deposit back.
I absolutely loved wearing a tie in primary school but when I went to secondary school our uniforms didn't have it and most the of students wanted the principal to either change the whole uniform or add the tie because most of us found that we looked neat with it.
I have had many MRIs, Cat scans and X-rays. Recently I've had some X-rays what were turned into a 3d model of my shoulder. I've had problems with my shoulder over the years. The reason people are kept in hospital longer than needed is to make sure they have a care package when they are allowed out. Because of our NHS we live longer than the USA and childbirth is also better than the USA. I can say about other countries.
Life expectancy in the UK is 81.52 years USA is 79.11 years (depending on which study you use) - UK female life expectancy is 83.28 years and male is 80.22 years - USA female life expectancy is 81.65 years and male is 76.61 years
Our drastic rise in numbers of over 75s is from a number of things. People are living longer and less people die before that age. We also stopped national service (mandatory service in the army) in the 60s. So those men have grown old rather than die in a war. Immigration plays a part too. People migrate to the UK and live their lives here so not only the people who have been born here grow old. I think it's great that we now have a older community who live longer, only downside is they also need more health care (they also deserve it after contributing all their lives and retiring to enjoy themselves)
Wearing ties were fine some schools had ties that were clip ons not wrapped round and its usually secondary schools that wear ties
This is just a guess but I think The thing about beds being used by the elderly who don't need the hospital bed, is likely due to a lack of trained carers in the community to help them at home. If they need to be kept an eye on, but there's a shortage of carers to do it at home they are kinda stuck with leaving them in a hospital bed rather than sending them home where things could go wrong on their own.
in the UK a lot of the time we have to pay a few months upfront and a deposit , i pay 3 months ahead at the moment
the rent paid is known as a deposit here, usually a months rent with a months deposit, returnable when you leave providing the property left in the same condition.

The NHS is far from perfect but it is a hell of a lot better than the American system. The NHS surfers mainly from inefficiency and short staffing lack of new hospitals.. Larger populations lead to larger waiting times. By all accounts the French system is more efficient.
It’s not free we pay for it in tax’s. Also the NHS isn’t treating people for a lot of things at the moment.
The nhs save my eyesight when my retina detached, the amount of glasses I used to wear from the age of 10 months till I was 19, I didn't have to pay for them until I was 16 & even after I still didn't pay for glasses as I was unemployed, I was given a voucher that paid for the lens prescription & frames
basically, the NHS is failing here in the uk it was never designed for so many people Because people are living longer. Now do not get me wrong the NHS is a wonderful service and The nurses and Dr are amazing and the government offering them a 3% pay rise is a slap in the face to the staff that has worked so hard during the covid pandemic. And the life expectancy in the uk is The provisional estimates show that life expectancy in England in 2020 was 78.7 years for males and 82.7 years for females.

It's failing because they are purposely underfunding it. They did the same to all other nationalised services in order for people to accept them bringing in private companies. We already give private health providers contacts who cost the taxpayer more than what we would pay to fund the NHS correctly. It has nothing to do with the population. In fact, the more people we have the more we get in taxes/NI. If we can pay for weapons & war, we can definitely fund the NHS & pay staff what they deserve.
Healthcare in the United Kingdom is free but it's paid from taxes, you won't pay anything when you get admitted to hospital or consulting a GP.

The quality of mental health treatment in the uk is literally a postcode lottery. It changes drastically depending where you live. My council area in Scotland is serviced by a specialist mental health hospital, with clinics for every therapy under the sun and a 2 week response time. It is staffed by nurses, therapists, psychologists and doctors that are highly experienced with and have experienced mental health issues. They treat every patient as an individual and each treatment is tailored to the patient( which is varied form therapy, medicine or holistic). In a council area 45 mins away from me, most GP Practices rely on a few heavily stressed and over worked doctors, therapists and nurses. The wait lists are long and can take anywhere fro a few weeks to 4-6 months.
Uniforms are also away to prepare us for the world of work when we have to wear uniforms plus is unity for a school if we all wear uniforms
I don't know exactly. But I know we live longer on average in the uk compared to the us by a few years
I went to 2 different high schools, and have worn 3 different uniforms - we wore a polo shirt and a jumper up til gcse’s and then a shirt, tie and jumper for A levels. Not sure how it is elsewhere but in north Wales, if your school has it, you can stay at your school for A levels rather than go to college
I wore a tie in secondary school (age 11-16) and it was fine although my school was an anomaly as we had clip on ties. We used to have normal ties but I think the change came in after some people were choking other students (yes this is in Essex 😂)
The thing about the rent sounds like a tenancy securement payment, for example when I moved into where I live I had to pay for the first weeks Rent before I got the keys.
From someone who recently quit nursing, but still works within the NHS, if you can find episodes or clips from the UK tv shows "Junior Doctors: Your Life in Their Hands", "24 Hours in A&E", "GPs Behind Closed Doors" and BBC's "Ambulance" will give you some great insights :)
Some background on the NHS: The NHS is funded through taxpayers money. It was launched in 1948 by Prime Minister Attlees Labour government and was spearheaded by the socialist Aneurin Bevan. The NHS was founded on the principle that it would provide free at the point of delivery healthcare to all, so that regardless of income or background you could be assured you would receive medical treatment. On a personal note, much of my family works in the NHS so it has an important place in my life. Further to this, it has saved my families lives (including my own). We had access to services and treatments that we otherwise might not have had due to being from a low-income background. It is why so many will passionately defend the NHS (including myself) from any form of privatisation. If people asked me why I’m patriotic, the NHS is probably one of my top reasons as to why I’ve proud to be British. Keep up the great video, I really enjoy them! 😁
I know in the uk private landlords (someone who bought the property & rents it out, often very expensive) you have to pay a months rent in advance plus a deposit which you get back at the end of your tenancy as you have to take the property in agreed seen condition whether it's furnished or not & or no pets, some allow you to decorate. I can't afford private rent so I rent through housing association which is for those on lower income. My landlord is owned by a housing provider rather than a person or local government social housing (known as council properties), my rent is paid by housing benefit as my wages doesn't cover my rent but I still pay some towards council tax to provide for local services (emergency services, rubbish collection, etc)
I'm 74 and I loved having a school uniform it had my school badge which ment that everyone knew which school I belonged to . I was proud of being a pupil of Graymount School For Girls .The uniform also ment that there was no difference between the poorer and not so poor children as we all dressed the same . Molly Irvine.
Uniform was levelling, when we hit 6th form (16-18 years old) we didn't have uniform and all missed it! We also had ties and hats, those and most other elements of our school uniform were subjected to relentless alteration to look cool, but mainly ended in detention instead. And everything had name tags sewn into it.
The food industry is the major problem with obesity, especially in the US. Fast food contains many harmful ingredients such as high salt and high fructose corn syrup (which in banned in the UK and Europe). Salt causes high blood pressure and the indigestible HFCS cannot be digested correctly and ends up being stored as fat. Fast food is cheaper than fresh food and poor people buy it because it is convenient, they don’t have time to cook, and they have little nutrition education. Couple this with having no access to health insurance they only get seen when they collapse of heart attacks, and by then it is too late. Most insurers won’t cover people with pre-existing condition or hike the premiums. The food industry has a lot to answer for when it comes to obesity.
Here in scotland we have free prescriptions, i dont believe england has that unless its specific prescriptions that are free there
I didn't mind wearing a tie but also didn't give much thought to it either because I knew I had to wear one. It was pitched to us as there can't be any class divide when we all wear the same thing. I think the intention is for uniforms to be a unifier and reduce bullying because everyone is dressed the same. Also makes things easier because you don't have to think about what you're wearing in the morning. When we had an "own clothes day" it would be sooooo stressful to work out what you were going to wear.

My cousin broke her shoulder and within 2-3 hours we we’re on the way back home with her arm in a sling; xrays and antibiotics done. I don’t know what I would do without the nhs.
The current life expectancy here is 81.52, vs 78.99 in the US, neither adjusted for Covid, according to macrotrends. Your point about how much healthcare costs, and that someone needs to be paying for it even if it's free at point of service, is a good one, and a recent Evan Edinger video where he chats with a British junior doctor about how much various procedures cost the NHS vs how much people in the US are charged for the same procedures - a very interesting video on something at least adjacent to the subject.
The rent sounds a little odd, I would assume you would pay from the day you moved in if it was the owner/agent preventing you from moving because they had a previous tenant or needed to do work on the property. If it's just because you don't need to be there, unfortunately, you would have to pay for the whole month. We do have an issue with social care (frail elderly etc.) where people perhaps have a fall and go into hospital but once they get fixed up there isn't somewhere to put them if they would be unsafe at home. These people have been called bed blockers as they take up a hospital bed and get hospital-level care when not needed. It's usually paid for out of the NHS budget/taxes. It's an issue that's been talked about for decades but nothing ever happens as it's likely taxes will need to rise to pay for more social care workers/homes etc. Boris is meant to be coming up with a plan, but it keeps getting pushed back, so we'll wait and see. With more people living longer (the chart that was shown eg 2 million more elderly) it's a growing problem.
Simply don't tie the tie to tight (try saying that 5 times real fast)
The taxpayer pays for the NHS. However, even with increasing needs, the NHS portion of my tax is minuscule compared to what I had to pay in health insurance in the US. Worse than this the health insurers didn’t cover certain critical medical care. I lived under this for 14 years when I resided in Virginia. There were so many families living one catastrophic illness away from ruin. I am now back in the UK and I am so grateful for the NHS.
The reason for school uniforms is two fold. A) wairing a tie and office kinda ware is expected of you in interview so it’s practice for interviews in terms of learning how to make a tie and take pride in your appearance but also b) for things like school trips, so it’s easier for teachers to keep an eye on their students on school trips.
In Scotland, where "NHS Scotland" (operated by Scottish Government and is independent from "NHS England", which the video is focused on and is ran by UK Government), you also don't have to pay (I mean, obviously taxes) for medication if they're prescribed by your doctor (e.g. insulin, inhalers, painkillers, "mood-altering medications" like for ADHD or depression, antihistamines for severe allergies, etc.)
Yup, the population is growing exponentially. I'm 59, and there are more than two and a half times as may people alive today compared to when I was born.
An MRI scan or any other test, expensive or not, will only be done if a patient's symptoms suggest it would help in diagnosis.
Wore a tie and I’m female- didn’t care really and it’s fun to tie my husband’s tie on occasion. And while school uniforms are meh- makes like much easier for parents. All the kids are in the same clothes =less hassle ❤️the NHS…. Had an emergency c section on the NHS, situation required all the top level doctors - dread to think how much that would cost in the US. …. Broke my thumb last year- plastic surgeons, consultants all looking at the thumb and trying to work out how to fix- again dread to think how much they would cost. I don’t mind paying Tax for this kind of service. One thing this pandemic has reminded us- poor and rich can get ill and die….. if we are all looked after it will serve the population well.
I would love it if you could do more Irish reactions like the Irish education system
The ties we had in my school were clip on ones😂 we never had to make them up in the morning and with that it never choked us lol
It’s the best thing this country has ever done 💯 Free healthcare for all is the only fair and moral way No one should be hindered by there health if it can be helped Especially in the richest country in earth Education and healthcare has to be free the rest is down to us
yea, so generally you have to pay a month's rent for a "deposit". you'll get that money back, it's just there for insurance. We all have to do that shit, unfortuentlty
No we are paying for it, just through taxes regularly taken from our wages. Its taken directly out of our salary, we don't even have to worry about it.

The increase in population is because ppl live longer down to the advances in surgery, medical care and life style. In the UK, Iin the year 1840 life expectancy was 42 years old, it increased to 55 yrs in 1910 and then further increased to 82 yrs old in 2010. And it will just keep increasing.
The average life expectancy in the UK is 81.26 years. In the US it’s 78.54 years.
The actual cost of an MRI scan once you own the machine is negligible. It does not cost 10k to perform an MRI. Your healthcare system is in cahoots with the insurance companies and all of your costs are inflated.
Thing with ties, is you can loosen them. You don't have to choke yourself 🤣 NHS is a life saver. I'm happy for the NHS to use resources to prevent illnesses/educate as well as treat the sick. People pay for it through their taxes, so we do pay for it. Old people who end up unnecessarily in hospital cos we need to improve the care sector instead of hospitals picking up the pieces. Cos if you're elderly & vulnerable the hospital won't send you home to cope. You'll stay until they organise care.
you should try Vicks Vapour rub for your acne, it's cheap and it works?
Yeah wearing a tie as a girl was uncomfortable but it was uncomfortable for everyone. We wore uniforms to be smarter and more “connected as a community” plus less of a pain for finding what to wear everyday, and considering mental health, students may find find that stressful.
The wartime generation lived through food rationing, and learned how to cook using basic raw ingredients rather than eating processed food products. Plus they walked and ran everywhere as children, so that's why they are healthier than later generations.
I remember a Bernie Sanders town hall a few years ago on healthcare in the US. He had a couple of doctors on the panel and I was surprised at just how out of date the American system is. Virtually everything still seems to be paper-based, which the docs were complaining about. In the UK, while there is still some paperwork, doctors can call up any notes from a patient's previous doctors or from any hospital visits they've had recently on their integrated IT system.

About 30% of the cost of healthcare in the US, is for administration compared to 5% in the UK.
Life expectancy in the UK is 81.26 years compared to 78.54 years in the USA (2018 data)
I think the point is that there's less old people dying, not that we had a population explosion 80 years ago. As for who pays? The people already paid. That's what national insurance is meant to be. People who worked all their lives, paying into it... The fact the gov mismanaged it...
Are you sure it's not a Security Deposit on the apartment? Because my wife and I had to pay about a month in advance when our oldest daughter went to University over here in England. What ever it is however I know you'll be a great Nurse.
