Winter of Discontent (202)2

[JohnD]

As far as I know, the public sector is paid by public taxes - what's left in the tank after they have spaffed billions to their Tory chums that is.

The government says we can't afford to pay NHS workers properly

But looks forward to cutting taxes. Reduced funding leads inevitably to reduced services. Our services have been persistently and deliberately underfunded and are not good enough.

It's funny that the increasing demands on the NHS come from the ageing population, who need care more often, more intensely, and for longer. But who like to vote for a party that promises to cut public services.

Yeah they do. Don't know about Cyprus but I've been on the Malta one. Bloody hard work for the driver too - no tracks so has to actually turn a wheel to go round corners......

Seems they don't. Chart was from Eurostat, should've known.

A NURSE has admitted that she has plenty of money to buy groceries but loves the vibe down at the food bank so visits three times a week.

Carolyn Ryan, aged 34, earns £30,000 a year which after rent, bills, childcare and student loans leaves her with a disposable income in two figures, but goes to the food bank anyway because it is such a laugh.

She said: “First, they’re giving away food for free. I mean, hello? I’m not an idiot.

“Second, the craic down there is epic. Whether you’re a single mother in condemned housing, an unemployed man in his mid-50s or a Deliveroo rider exhausted after a 16-hour shift, it’s all good down the food bank.

“I popped in last week for some own-brand bran flakes and cheddar I didn’t even need, just to hang out with the guys. The mood is just infectious. You don’t want to leave and not just because the heating’s on.

“I know I don’t actually need to use the food bank – any backbench Tory MP can tell you that – but I do anyway for the thrill, for the camaraderie, and to make the government look bad.”

Conservative voter Norman Steele said: “I f**king knew it.”

Higher cost of living = higher pay.
