Given that the last 4 encounters with 'these people' have all worked both NHS and private I'd say that there should be limits on what 'overtime' they should be allowed to do. I'm aware that they will play the 'not enough of us' card but IME it's the lack of recovery staff and/or beds that dictate the limits. Putting an arbitrary sanction in place if the queue is seen as too long is the wrong measure.

Yes, it could be worse, but don't expect these people to give you a heart bypass on weekend because they got no obligation to work for free or pay to turn up at their job.

Make your own mind up about how impoverished these 'workers' are.

Under Bliar top rate of tax was 40%, capital gains had taper relief, house prices were half or 2/3 off!

Originally posted by AtW View PostIt’s Tory Scum Britain - it was under the “pro-business” Govt that reduced pension allowances so much and it was them who did not fix crazy marginal taxes between 100-125k, introduced by Liebour
So, what you are complaining about is a symptom of the fact that the Tories aren't running the country.

Skilled professionals are incentivised NOT to work due to punitive levels of tax.
Note - they are doing the honest thing: avoid work, not “avoid tax” by using some of the obviously dodgy “schemes” that should have been rightfully classified as tax evasion, with appropriate criminal penalties applied starting from those who design them and all the way to the users.
