They used to say ‘if you are prepared to work hard you will be ok’

You never hear it anymore because it’s fallen flat on its face and the cat is out the bag.
Ofc there are very rich individuals who work hard milking for all its worth their angle, but by far the greatest amount of work (effort) is amalgamated by the low paid collective.
If you summed the amount of total effort to pay ratio it comes out as a major lie, because capital rewards capital far greater than effort.

If people work hard then they will be fine in this country
actually even if they don’t work at all they will be fine

The very effect of the cost of living crisis was apparent well before Ukraine.
As I’ve pointed out before The Roundtree Foundation showed where the problem is and that is more and more money in fewer people’s pockets, meaning a greater proportion with absolutely nothing.

Because the equation doesn’t reward work at all, ROI returns on capital far greater than elbow grease.

Giving more money to people for not working ?

How stupid does the UK look ?

Predictable
HIQA
The factors contributing to the problems are inadequate bed capacity , staff shortagesand a lack of access to community care

The HSE said that among the challenges were a growing and ageing population, Covid-19, influenza and RSV as well as delayed transfers of care from hospitals due to nursing home closures

four key recommendations.
HIQA said there is an urgent need to build extra bed capacity in both acute and community beds.

better anticipate and manage staff shortages.

better leadership at local,regional and national level to deal with the problem.

improved monitoring of patient safety risks linked to overcrowding.

This has been brewing for 20-30 years , government failures

Bless an honesty report ..Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
Lots of health-care jobs with better pay here

lol at your self pwnage Dr Crippen, posting a parody of your ilk

''Considerably richer than yo''

Why should a nurse be paid less than an MP?

Nurses should be ashamed of themselves, for allowing the far-left to infiltrate their union and talk them into going out on strike.
People are going to die over the self interests of medical staff.
Is this what they went into nursing for?

People who are better off have not made their money off the backs of the less well off - complete fallacy.


Perhaps Johnny you might like to explain how Michelle Mone and her children trousered £29 million into an Offshore Trust from less well off tax payers?

There is plenty of cake Johnny. The rich have stolen it for themselves. The feed the crumbs to the rest of us.

That link above from the sot.

Note this comment below the chart.

''Perhaps you would care to take the starting point for comparison back to 2007 so it includes the absolute hammering private sector workers got due to the financial crash. Or perhaps all the way back to 2000: the 'bonus' for working in the public sector widened for over a decade; only now, 22 years later, back to where it was in 2000. Maybe include ALL public sector workers too in the comparison. Pick your starting point and you can come to any conclusion you want - as someone once said, 'there are lies, there are damn lies, and then there's statistics!''

I wonder if moisok has ever managed to wind up a clock?

The tories are just dragging it out,they will eventually offer them 9-10% at least it's the old tory tactics wreck the economy deliberately then when inflation has to come down the real thickos fall for it,will be the same with the nurses strike..In real ters they've lost 20% in the last 10 years,tories offer them the laughable 4.3% then when they off 9-10% the thickies will think that'a very fair offer,such an uneducated country they fall for any old sh1t..

So it’s clear

Nice chief executive bosses of the water companies set up by the Tories to enrich their friends and rob the public get eye watering pay rises at our expense. Then the nurses who saved thousands of lives through sheer dedication and caring during the pandemic are told to take another pay cut.

The NHS has been deliberately wrecked by the evil Tories who tell nurses to get lost and use foodbanks, whilst the Tories themselves of course are lining their own pockets.

One rule for the plebs. No rules for the Hooray Henries with a sense of entitlement.

Sickening hypocrisy.

For public sector workers the government has to look at
the nominal interest rate that is good for the economy
about 2-3 % , whatever . And pay rises in should be in line
with that . The private sector any pay rises are a matter for the
company and employees to determine

You don’t allocate pay increases based on what hopefully should
be abnormally high and short lived inflation

Well the stinking lay corrupt and sleazy Hooray Henries have certainly chosen to give nurses,teachers, child protection staff and others over a decade of pay cuts under the rate of inflation whilst taking literally billions of pounds out of everyone’s pockets to give bungs to bankers, chief officers of water companies and all the Tory chums. During Covid, the Tories even managed to give Handcock’s barman millions on useless contracts. Now they have given another Tory chum a nice fat bung for disposing of the PPE equipment that was useless.

How can you defend this appalling theft from the pub,ifc whilst the nurses are queueing at foodbanks?

You have to understand when you work
in the public sector your pay is governed by the economy
And things are not good right now

It's a shame the nurses are being used by people like CoT, to vent their hate on society.
They deserve better than to have fallen into the clutches of the left.

Nevertheless it's clear the public sector is far too big and needs pruning back.
Neither Labour or the Tories seen to have the stomach to do it.

So the first step would be to instal a proper right-wing government, only then could the much needed reform of the public sector start in earnest.
