Should have salaires redrawn anyway. Certain professions deserve far more than they get and others... less.

But everyone has issues you are not unique and in some respects are far more privileged than others but there is never any recognition of that
This private/public sector debate doesn't do anyone any good and it just divides the workforce. You don't know any of my background other than where I went to school but are pretty quick to judge. Then again you have been flaunting your salary around here for years and on occasion mocked other people's income.
If I say I think there should be a short term nationwide lockdown it doesn't mean I think every business can close its doors or that I'm fine with people losing their jobs. The whole point of my job is to put others before myself which is what I've done the best I can. It doesn't mean I think everyone else is dossing it up. You can see the case numbers and the evidence which shows that in the UK there is a new more infectious strain that has mostly replaced the one in other countries.
All I've proposed is a month of closing what ever can be closed while the vaccine is rolled out and case numbers drop. The state does have the means to provide relief and security in the short term. What would you say to those working in hospitals who have been managing high case loads for months? Working from home makes my job harder but I'm offering to do it.
Stupid commie ideaIt should be nationalised again imo. That's a whole other thread though.
Yes and it's a shit situation. I'd prefer schools to be closed and some free time off to look after my son.
I've had an absolute shit year of it work wise. I've had 1 day off since 14th December. A £5k paycut, and I still have to go into an office.
Do I moan, well yes I am right now. Have you stopped moaning for the last 9 months? Have you bollocks.
Starting to piss me off.
Stupid commie idea
First the Guardian, now this...Some things should have always remained under public ownership such as transport and especially rail
Correct. Even Thatcher realised that (rail). If there is a natural monopoly privatisation just extracts profit for no gain to the consumer.Some things should have always remained under public ownership such as transport and especially rail

For me one thing that shows through is that whatever slogans about "we are all in this together", it just isn't true. The UK is a very divided country, that's before we discuss politics. Secretly I'm pissed off with some people who appear to be breaking the rules, people clearly have been, I don't think is just assumption. My mum in her 70's still doesn't seem to get it. Whoever benefits from this division I hope it's serves them well. The government have gone so far beyond chaotic it's just become a shambles. Even the US media are laughing at us and they're probably the only country that's never had a grip on it.
It's a misnomer anyway - various local authorities seconded people elsewhere during this, anyway. During the first lockdown in March when many more were at home, somebody I know was seconded to clean emergency mortuaries full of Covid patients who'd died... a bit different to the job they'd only just started(!)The public vs private sector divisions do harm to them both. Both are needed for a country to function unless you want state owned everything or a complete free market on everything.

It's also false to suggest public sector is insulated. Many councils have used up their reserves during this, as government wouldn't fund the increased costs - while introducing a furlough scheme for private business - and there'll be a consequence down the line employment-wise, for sure.
The divisions.
Natural to a degree.
Age.
Socio economic /Class
Introduced
Regionality.
Seemingly Public /Private sector.
Just disheartening to see people succeed in driving wedges between people who have more in common than they sometimes realise.
Prefer to use hybrid clubs myself, occasionally I'll break out the 3 wood.
OK, this analogy has totally passed me by in life...!Bet there are a few tomato ketchup on a breakfast types here
I'll have you know I don't watch Mrs Brown's Boys!People who like tomato sauce are tramps who watch mrs browns boys
You have time to volunteer. You do not work hard at all!!I hate the I work harder than you arguments. We are a microcosm of society on here and we are better than this. Of course we should lock down to get the infections down and we will. Boris is dithering again

I’ve not stopped. These deaths are more needless than the rest of the year. We have a vaccine being rolled out.You agree I assume though that most will still go to work regardless

Surely brown sauce fans wouldI definitely don't watch Mrs Browns boys!
