Agree with a lot of that. I think all firms should be looking at as close to inflation rises for all workers below national average. If they can afford inflationary rises for all great (although if we expect deflation following recession they might be better offering partial bonuses instead)

There’s two sides to every story though I understand that workers were offered 5.5%. I also understand that the business is currently losing £1m per day. I think they also have a £50bn pension deficit (I hope that figure is wrong but don’t think it is from a quick Google) So, if it continues...

Seriously though, I just don’t agree with a lot of strikes (some I do) Say the rail strikes. Increase in salaries will lead to increase in fares*. If publícally owned (which I think there’s a good argument for as the current half way house is a shamble) increase in salaries will lead to...

yep and I’ve been disappointed I haven’t been contacted personally about all planned strikes 😊

Agreed and that’s why I try to distinguish between workers. I’m all for people being paid as much as possible and find bosses getting massive rises whilst asking for restraint disgusting quite frankly but there’s also the ability to afford/pay for a rises. Some businesses just can’t afford it

Don’t get me started on Royal Mail. This is very different to say nurses. This won’t go down well on here (but I’ll say it anyway 😊) but if someone’s not happy with their your job and pay as postman/woman, get another job. If there’s a shortage of postmen and women, they’ll have to pay more to...

Fair point. I appreciate some strikes might be justifiable, especially now with inflation so high (I do have a fundamental issue with striking but that’s a separate matter). I honestly believe others wouldn’t be happening without rampant inflation.

Yes, Id already amended post as I was talking about certain wage rises filtering through to prices (typing in a rush !) Agree that tax rises would be deflationary and that last weeks budget is only likely to have worsened situation

A lot of it flows through to the richest and they buy assets (see US stock market in recent times). This ultimately fuels elements of inflation

Just seen this. She’s an absolute idiot

I’m just saying many probably wouldn’t happen if inflation wasnt 10%. To pay for increases across the board will need tax rises for a majority of the country or cuts and/or price increases (in private sector). Price rises would be inflationary The attempt to reduce higher rate tax rate was...

I hope people read the whole post rather than pick certain lines or comments (not just aimed at you NW but happens with most posts that might go against the thread line of everything is the governments/our own fault) I’m saying that the cause of these things ultimately lies at others doors. If...

Not sure all this can be all be blamed on the current governments (which admittedly is a shit show) Strikes are taking place because rampant inflation, a majority of which is driven by energy prices caused by the war. The remaining element is due to amount of money printed to prop western...

If he makes the best offer and rugby authorities agree, yes, maybe

Exactly. Very unlikely. They might do if there’s no other alternative or if they felt that the correct solution wasn’t being progressed/executed (again extremely unlikely) They are likely to work with an administrator to agree transfer/sale of long lease

Get on stubhub one minute past sale time and buy at treble the price Joking apart if unsuccessful use twickets (reseller) and set up notifications. Proper/non rip off reseller site and picking up a fair bit of traction these days.

Went for Joshua v Usyk…had to leg it after fight to get tube as some finished running not long after fight. Heard horror stories of people taking hours to get back into London

I think people are being harsh with Godden. He created a couple of chances by chasing and harrying, hit the bar from a corner (think it was him) and lived off scraps. I’m a massive Vik fan but he can be a bit head down when he gets the ball which isn’t ideal for a strike partner like Godden, a...

Dealing with crosses is my biggest concern when it comes to Wilson, he just struggles to command his area (even six yard box) sometimes. Having said that he’s done really well since coming back in, shot stopping excellent and can’t complain at three clean sheets on the bounce
