    I think the NHS would be very pleased to hear that they are not expected to cure every societal ill tbh with you. They've heard all the other stuff a million times before. He's also said this reform is being carried out with no extra money, where is it coming from? Nothing is free.

    I know, but he's not the NHS, he's the prime minister. He can talk about those things if he wants to.

    Groundbreaking stuff: The stuff on prevention has nothing about any of the people that really cost the NHS, the elderly or dealing with any of the social determinants of health.

    They are not paying the train drivers, they don't employ them. I suspect that the franchise agreements require that the DfT has to approve the award but not pay it. In any event, it isn't train drivers vs other workers or pensioners. The standalone point is strong enough, the government has...

    Things that annoy you

    These tedious cunts on social media who write things like "What in the universal credit is that?" usually sneering at somebody poor. Wankers.

    I joined the company I'm in back in 2015 on x salary for the role I did then. We are currently recruiting people for the same role 9 years later with a salary that is £7k less than it should be accounting for inflation. This sort of thing will be replicated everywhere. BTW, no problem with...

    It's about the same level as 'peer' nations if that really means anything. Oddly, despite the very low rates in some of the former eastern bloc countries, there is no clamour for major companies to HQ there. It's probably over stated in terms of a country's competitiveness. More important are a...

    To be in the top 10% of earners it says you need to earn £66k per year. This is roughly double the median salary (and well above the minimum wage). 60% isn't a high number in that context and arguably on the low side.

    It's irrelevant, there are a tiny number of millionaires who might get a couple of hundred quid they don't need, so what? There are many more who won't get a couple of hundred quid that they do need.

    Match Thread Watford (a) - Sat 14th Sept

    Watford made a loss last year before player sales of £24m albeit including interest on debts to their owner. I think the day to day losses were more like £7m but based on a turnover that continued to include parachute payments, £48m for TV and Media which is going to reduce to something more...
