'Someone I know' found a patient signed off for 3 months with athletes foot as they asked for it to be renewed for another 3 months. GTF was the answer, patient turns up the next day complaining of a sore back. GTF again.

Why is the default view of almost everyone that not working is better than working? Quite apart from cost it is far better for people to work than not to work. The evil that is socialism is that these people think that they are somehow doing people some sort of favour by paying them to not work. OK if for a two or three months as a bit of support, but even picking fruit in fields is better than staying at home doind nothing. I have a cousin who is a qualified lawyer who sits at home and cannot find a job. Why on Earth doesnt he go and learn to drive a bus? As an employer I would far rather employ a professional who has done something rather than nothing. So these do gooding socialists are actually only serving themselves.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I also overheard one of the receptionists' at my own GP politely telling a patient where to go with sick notes. That receptionist was classic as with any patient who rang up for my GP she would broadcast their reason for ringing over the entire waiting room."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

However the next administrations - Majors and Blairs did nothing to amend it.
It was a convenient way of parking the unemployable. Luckily many of them actually got ill due to being long term unemployed."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I have been out the standard working cycle for 6 months working on a plan b, hired an office but was really working on my own when I wanted and how I wanted. (have a couple of sales)
BAck to regular contracting over the last 2 weeks and it is a good feeling to get into the office again. In my mind it must be brutal being out there doing nothing for years with no direction.Comment
