The money is there. Government is awash with money. It's all down to how it spent and choices of what to spend it on. One example £70m on a ferry terminal in Liverpool yet poor pay for teachers and 20% vacancy rate in health. If they spent money in those areas the education and healthcare of the citizens would be world class since there would be people swimming to the island to work or people retraining to enter these professions Edited November 3, 2022 by snowman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Eddie Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 48 minutes ago, forestboy said: More snouts in the trough. Sadly it’s us footing the 6%. I’m about 25% down on turnover still after covid. Can’t afford to pay rises after footing the bill for the increase in the minimum wage earlier this year. This sets an unrealistic expectation for private sector employers who have to operate in the real world not cloud cuckoo land. Government shut down the world for a year nearly bankrupting us all and now government is meeting reasonable pay demands from people who all got paid regardless over covid. Wouldn’t mind if half of them were worth it but a lot of them are work-shy spongers anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
