We are talking Boris here. Caveat emptor as he would rejoice in saying.
Also caveat venditor.
Still, the day has dawned brighter in many ways.

Not sure about Le Mans....but Hotels should be open from 17 May

So the DHSC have recommended that NHS staff should get a 1% pay rise.
The government has spent billions during the pandemic and there will come a day of reckoning, albeit due to historically low interest rates and how cheap it is to borrow that may not be as soon as you might expect.
Do you support the government on this?
Or do you question a policy which I would have thought many tax paying people would consider quite abhorrent given the sarcifice of the past year?

The gist was
Throughout the pandemic they've had full employment , nobody on furlough , as much overtime as they wanted , guaranteed wages , no danger of the pot being empty , they can sell their holidays if they want , full pay if off sick and some nurses with a lot of overtime are pushing on the door of 50k
If the daily mail catches wind of nurses on 50k the headlines would soon change.
My opinion is anyone working for the NHS is in a position unlikely to be matched by any other employer anytime soon , I'd just take what's offered and keep quiet
Like the army , if you join there's a chance you might get shot at , the NHS is now in that position , they've got a job for life but this is a tough couple of years.
Everybody appreciates what they do but it's a massive organisation, where's the money coming from .

The front line staff should be given a one off payment if no pay rise can be funded for ever
It’s the healthcare equivalent of GME.I’ve a simple solution.
Every individual in the NHs should resign immediately.
Register with a recruitment co specializing in healthcare.
Only... Most in the private sector just get SSP from day one!
This was made perfectly clear by my employer at the start of the pandemic, if you are sick or have to isolate, it's SSP £95.85 a week. After 6 months nothing!
That’s the truth. Last company I worked at, one fella was off for a few days for an op (but still handling emails and calls, just from home; this was pre-covid). HR wanted to put him on sick-pay after one day. Wankers. After a brief discussion they reconsidered, but it gave a good insight into who’s interests came first.
