Fair point. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy debating various issues that have a political slant and yes I fully admit I don't like labour (or anyone at the moment) and I try to be open and fair when discussing properly. I shall try and keep my red army bashing to the meltdown thread from now though.

That's because I don't really give a toss. What I don't like is people trying to make out that this is all OK and proper when they would have been squealing like a stuck pig if it had been a tory last year. My entire point has been that they ARE all the same.

Strangely I'd be happier if he bought them and expensed it like any normal employee than taking a freebie from a wealthy donor who you just so happen to give a Downing Street pass to. That said, pretty much everyone else has to pay for their own work attire unless it's a uniform or a specific...

Well, we can't leave the party out that gave us Belotti and Norman Baker. Sexual assault at their conference bash. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd98n073lgdo

I knew someone would come back with this, the same thing then applies to every single company and wage in the world even our beloved Dunky.

I agree, quality of life absolutely should be utmost in thinking. Silly thing is if we could train/recruit more JD's then they could work those extra hours at their basic rate thus actually saving us money longer term. You can't blame them for going abroad or just as likely into private...

That's a lot of examples, many thanks but I see what your really getting at is that you don't like people becoming successful and wealthy. If they get promoted to a job where they are responsible for a mind boggling turnover and in your Tescos example 300k+ employees then they absolutely should...

I don't disagree on how hard they work, they most certainly do. Post #1992 I think shows that the increases range from 24.6% to 20.5%. I believe that is baseline pay only and given they are doctors do need to work lates/overtime/weekends. A 37% enhancement for working nights, a weekend working...

Where do we stop? and at what cost ?. Junior doctors have got theirs, but still saying they will demand more, GP's now threatening to strike. Then you move out of NHS to other public sectors and see the train drivers getting theirs so Mick Lynch will want the same for the rest of his mob. Border...

Astley at glasto was awesome as a one off but I'm not sure I could stand to hear a full set without Mozza on vocals.

Streeting is a horrible smarmy piece of work. Those old tweets of his about pushing someone under a train are disgraceful, can you imagine the furore if he'd been blue instead of red from our resident Starministas.

A bit disingenuous. 4% backdated for 23/24, on top of the 9% they've already received and another 8% in place for next year but already whinging about possible further strikes.

So the Junior doctors have accepted their 22% pay rise but a 3rd of them didn't back it. The BMA also making a stinging comment that it expected further above inflation rises in future years or there would be "consequences". Sounds like a bit of a threat to me and labour now kicking a very very...

Didn't we already have some kind of agreement in place with Hibs?, not sure those are compatible.

I think that reply nails it sadly but it shows to me how shite our sentencing guidelines are. A sexual deviant being able to walk away with 6 months suspended is just downright plainly wrong. I find this more recent trend of using mental health issues as mitigation as part of the defence...

Shudder, I wouldn't wish a female version of that nasty snake on anyone.

Sooooooo watching Starmer squirm in Italy he's not at all ruling out adopting a similar plan to the Italy/Albania plan. I know the differences are successful claimants would return to Italy and the process managed under Italian law. Would it not have made more sense if that's the road he's going...

But they have thousands of pounds to pay smugglers ? and not forgetting that they are already safely in France and the desire to still risk the seas to come to the UK really means they are economic/social migrants rather than asylum seekers.

Really?, I love the fact you are all getting rattled when you have spent thousands of posts piling onto those who you are now crying about. It's all well and good to snipe from the sidelines in opposition but now your beloved Starmtroopers are in power you're all finding it a lot more difficult...

Yes, best to just stick to threads where you can all congratulate each other for beasting the nasty right of centre stupid people.
