Our numbers today are equivalent to 6k+ in the USA and we're not even at the peak of it

Shame I don't live over there any more, I could have let him lodge in the spare room

No difference really, the objective is to get him fit and playing

Given the population size per capita we've done a lot worse

Pandering to a generation declining in numbers who, given the choice of two parties promising to be tough on public spending, will vote tory anyway is delusional. Its almost as if 2015 (after a terrible 5 year coalition of rocket fuelled austerity) didn't happen. Might as well just give up tbh...

Good, Aldi used to pay better than the big 4 but seems to have stood still despite huge sales growth.

This time next week

Been a few who have said as much on here

He was signed during the transition period, but, is the contract length a potential visa related issue?

All the best to you

Indeed, was just going to post similar. America bringing democracy to the third world usually. Do me a favour.

I worked at NHS Digital recently and they employed Tech Archs but paid them 8b and 8c salary which is equivalent to SCS Grade 7 or 6 pay wise. I think the departments don't mind paying contractors as they get away with using programme money sometimes. It's utterly dysfunctional and unsustainable.

When I worked at Cheylesmore House that first floor was packed with contractors, must have cost a fortune.

I think the number of different agencies and bodies are all ultimately to provide a shield to ministers from genuine accountability, e.g. Hancock blaming Public Health England for the lack of testing early on in the pandemic.

45k reported cases today, the cases by specimen date have not yet got to the 81k level so hopefully growth slowing / plateauing now

Crack

Good documentary on Netflix about the US crack epidemic of the 80s. It's so funny how much Hollywood usually obscures the view of the actual USA.

Love the blitz spirit apart from when it comes to giving up any freedom at all, like they did for years in WW2.
