Corona Virus

Thanks for this unbiased account BBC, except you somehow missed putting in the MP’s and their £80,000 - £150,000 plus expenses account.

Mainly because it is highlighting key worker earnings so MP wages are largely irrelevant, unless you want to politically point score of course
I also suspect the NHS ward managers and civilian staff have been left off as they tend to be paid far more than the frontline staff
They also missed off the military, firemen, paramedics, ambulance staff and many other public sector areas but I don't think that was the point of the article

 

no, it wasn’t the point of the article (imho) which is why I was cross about the lack of inclusion of MPs, the tangible connections between who the article was written for and their wages... the very top of the manager pay scale in the Nhs is about £100,000 if I recall correctly.

Must be bliss ........

 

Doesn’t say though whether he was offering to give or sell the PPE to the NHS.

 

It seems unfathomable in retrospect, that the business continuity planning of the uk doesn’t have repurpose manufacturing plans for these occasions...

 

My point was that he may have been trying to sell them rather than donate them and wasn’t taken up on the offer as there are a large number of businesses who are donating PPE already, such as the company I work for who are producing thousands of faceshields and giving them to the NHS for free.
I was being sceptical that the reporting was a bit askewed to have a dig at the government again.

 

Drawing old fellas

 

the other point is though @freck despite the excellent contribution by your company and others... we still have a supply shortage! The dude could have helped a little

 

The other thing is the government should get used to buying British from now on instead of anything fuggin Chinese no matter how cheap it is cos its shit, [my opinion]

 

Also, 450 visors per day doesn't really cut it. The NHS will be looking for companies that can do many 1,000's per day.

 

On the plus side has anyone noticed how irrelevant so called celebrities have become

 

Patronising gits.
Keep appearing on Telly, even if it’s only (Because we are too stupid) to tell us to stay safe.
Ken.

 

They are

They are irrelevant and always have been. Who takes any notice of them anyway. The likes of Lily Allen, Steve Coogan etc, etc are just nauseating.

 

Tubular Bells seems to have a lot to answer for...

 

Mark Thatcher, is that what he's doing now?

 

I don’t know if it’s the same...

 

No it has Chinese parts, and it is still shit, I said the government should consider buying British what's your beef?

 

My beef is usually Welsh or English but I mainly eat chicken these days.
Where you live I guess you'll have access to fine Scottish beef ?
