Craig 6307 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Alex was spot on the other day when he said we all need to stop tormenting ourselves by reading the depressing political shit on Twitter. I've steered clear of it since and definitely feel better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me certainly. Two years ago I was employed by the NHS to ensure only cost-effective interventions are used in the service. Lack of opportunity and a decade of real-term pay cuts ensured I jumped ship and now I am basically paid by Big Pharma to extract as much money as I can from the NHS. And I'm fucking good at it, knowing how the system works. Someone, can't remember who and I'm paraphrasing, recently said the UK is a poor version of the USA with an NHS. Shortly it will be a poor version of the USA without an NHS. Honestly, it makes me so fucking mad but I've practically given up at this point, from now on all I can do is think of my family first and insulate myself from what's coming. Be the change you want to see. You don't have to work for an NHS supplier / big pharma. If you are anything like me, you'll feel better for it, even if you aren't as well off - cognitive dissonance is a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some T&Cs working for industry, as well as pay, shit all over what the NHS can offer (a/l and pensions being exceptions, but even they are okay). It's also funny, but working for a large trust (>16,000 employees in that alone) is much more corporate than somewhere like I am presently, and I hate the corporate side of things. Fucking weraring collared shirts, proper shoes, and nightmare HR to contend with. I don't find my work as challenging or academically rewarding as before, but everything else is better including complete freedom to wfh or go in, whenever I want. In contrast the trust made me go in during the pandemic for no justifiable reason at all given ewhat I do. Truth is I can't afford to work in the NHS or academia now anyway. NHS staff deserrve to be paid much, much more imo. And teachers. And police. And council workers. Etc. But not those people in Longbenton cos fuck knows what they do other than shuffle papers and play with paper clips all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30446 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Joking apart though I think they gambled on getting their ideologically driven shit through on the back of the ‘inevitable’ bounce back after the global economic crash. It makes me sick when a cunt like Oliver Letwin (more or less the author of the 2010 manifesto) is painted as honourable because he was against Brexit. He’s just another one who caused this and fucked off before the shit hit the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26440 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Once again, blame the English electorate for it. If it weren’t for the fact that the Tories massively hit the self destruct button with Johnson’s arrogance and their election of Truss then they would probably still be neck and neck with Labour in the polls. People watched this shit show going on for years and voted them in a further three times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3984 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 None of them can get past the camel through the eye of a needle line - it's a silver bullet for just about every tory/republican/vaguely right winger who claims Christianity and is rich by any stretch of the imagination - especially biblical. Compounded by the lie I and everyone else was taught about city gates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
