1% pay rise for NHS

[Whorty]

Given that we need nurses I don't think we'd be giving anything away for free. The fact that people want to be a nurse is a good thing, but the the potential nurses not being able to afford to train is so wrong.

When Mrs W was in the hospice we got talking to a student nurse. She was coming...

[Whorty]

An interesting one .... my cynical view is the Tories have set it low to give them somewhere to go when the unions kick off. Whatever the % the unions were going to say it's not enough ... another example of nudge theory that is often used by the Tories?

Personally, I'd also like to see...

Less than £37bn


We will find out where the money was spent, and how much went to Tory MPs and their mates.

Then you can come along and tell us Corbyn would have spent more.

HTH...

I'd like to see that £37bn broken down to see where and how it has been spent. There will be valid spend in there like the test kits, scientists etc and there will almost certainly be a whole load spaffed up the wall by Tory MP's mates and their dodgy middle men companies.

It needs a proper...

I don't think so, but now you mention it ...... ...

[Whorty]

So would I, but for a completely different reason ...

[Whorty]

The Tories were warned this would happen. It was lumped in with Project Fear. But again, it plays into the hands of the Tories as this is another 'enemy' that their rabid xenophobic supporters can hate. ...

[Whorty]

They're just playing up to their voters. Create an enemy out of the EU (even though the EU is in the right) and the loyal xenophobes will swallow all they read from the Tory supporting press.

All the Tories (and Labour and SNP) care about is votes, they don't care about the cost of those...

[Whorty]

If the state pension had any real value then it would be more. I don't know how anyone can live on only c.£8k per year....

[Whorty]

I think you're missing the bit about me being a narcissist ..... all 'material' on me just feeds my ego, so I can't be blackmailed ...

[Whorty]

Now I feel loved ...

[Whorty]

I assumed you'd take that as my formal application to be a mod on CUK ...

[Whorty]

I'd say less of a wimp, more of a egotistical, narcissistic, sanctimonious, annoying, bald headed t*sser

I think that just about covers it

Although I am good fun on a night out down the pub and I always buy my round ...

[Whorty]

That very act, of not writing anything abusive, has itself deflated my ego just a smidgy bit ...

Total write off this year

There is no amount of vodka that can be drunk to forget me once you've met me ...

They're doing quite well now, look lovely along my fence line ...
