Genie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Everybody who is out and about at the moment whilst there is a deadly virus in the air is derserving is a bonus on their regular pay, no question. My sister in law was getting a bonus from Wickes for coming in. My only point was that it will inevitable that people will ask why those working hands on with the sickest people, in the worst conditions are not getting any of this extra tax payer funded bonus, but those a couple of tiers down on the risk chart are. Pressure needs to be on government to give NHS staff something extraordinary for their extraordinary effort and sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Yes, agreed. They will clap on Thursday, they’ll ask why the hell the council are giving care staff an extra 87p when the nurses haven’t had it. Then they’ll trot out and vote tory. People are shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are funded by different bodies. And one body has decided that the people they employ deserve a financial reward and the other (as yet) has not. I'm not sure why you are framing it as people asking why nurses are getting applause rather than more money as something other than a completely positive thing. Sounds like something people should be asking. Maybe they might even think twice before voting for the terrible shits next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2020 Can you make Care into a brand name that you can package off to sell to companies that coincidentally align nicely with your mates investment portfolio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, people are hard wired to object in the politics threads aren’t they I was just making an observation that I’d expect their to be a bit of a public outcry if it was common knowledge that some council staff were getting a bonus but doctors and nurses were not. That’s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all. And as many people have replied - fantastic, if so. Your original framing seemed to suggest that people getting angry about it, was something other than a completely positive thing. They should be angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 1 hour ago, It's Your Round said: Recycled it obvs!* *some word removed nicked it. Back when I bought my first house, It was quite a new house and a number of the locals were council / housing association residents. Anyway, the lid broke on the wheely bin so we called council and they sent a replacement. We didn’t have a sticker or anything on it originally just a white pen number of our house. Came home from work after first time it had been put out and it was nowhere to be seen. Went upstairs and looked out of bedroom window and could see it in the neighbours garden, next to their bin. Knocked on the door and asked if they’d taken my new bin by mistake, absolutely not she replied... I said you did because you I can see it in your garden... Oh, oh, erm, my husband must have brought it in by mistake. Of course, he accidentally brought 2 bins back and stashed them in the corner of the garden. Tramp.
