Just seen on news that some MPs think striking NHS workers should be banned from the coronation, what difference will that make.
They took advantage, and reflected glory, of NHS workers by applauding them and calling them heroic ... ... now they're calling them unfit to appear at this event. No doubt MPs who profited from Covid will be pompously pushing themselves to the front without a second's thought of their hypocrisy.
Self interested, thick as mince most of them mate,on all sides. They know the system is broken,but it's against their interests to fix it. There are a very few whose grey cells work a bit...but not many, and certainly not enough.
I think this is specifically Tory MPs mate, you can't automatically excuse everything with 'They're all as bad as each other' ... ... if the Monarch chooses who he wants at his coronation that's his business and they should stfu imo.
I wasn't referring to the Coronation or any other specific situation,more a general view on the state of our political parties as a whole. You surely can't be suggesting that Tory MP's are thickos and those from other parties aren't?
Read yesterday 1 in 4 of doctors aged between 25 and 32, left the NHS. Nurses and doctors are voting with their feet and leaving. Not an NHS nurse as such but an assistant manager at a children's nursery, a job she loved, left to join Tesco for more money.
Mrs Smug bumped her head and needed stitches a fortnight back. We went to A&E where the doctor was a lovely young lass, six months pregnant, who was with us and other patients for seven hours and still going when we left at midnight. You can't compare that level of skill, and care, with any other comparable job. Knowing people tapping keyboards or on a checkout can earn similar money is sad. I'd advise my granddaughter to do anything rather than be a nurse, it's just not worth it.
A good number of doctors leave for such as Australia, leaving their student loans unpaid, and over £100k in training costs up the swannee. Nurses sometimes do the same. All a matter of principle to them though. There are two sides to every story, and this subject is not reported seriously. There is no infinite pot of public money, and the private sector, which essentially produces the wealth, is taxed too much anyway. No easy answers, just easy headlines. As for marching in a coronation or whatever they want to do , I couldn't give a monkeys.
The latest I can see is just short of 7000 applied to leave in 2022. The ages aren't mentioned, but the doctors union says they are mostly younger junior doctors.
Whatever it is doesn't excuse the NHS workers, still here, being vilified by MPs. And, let's be honest, people wouldn't be considering uprooting to the other side of the world if conditions here were better ... ... economic migrants usually come here for that reason but often turn up in dinghies not Quantas.
Then the problem will solve itself. Eventually conditions will have to be improved. Similar to the lorry drivers during COVID. However, it's what gets cut elsewhere in order to improve those conditions. The bottomless pit mentality has to go. Also the 'it's a calling' mentality has to go - similar to the military, governments of every colour have been taking the piss for far too long.
It could be funded for years to come if we got a refund from the people who gave us a useless track and trace.
We all know it doesn't take much to become an MP. Anyone can do it. The fact that in cabinet they get passed round from one post to another means they specialise in **** all.
