Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not! VOL 2
Discussion
It was the same old virtue-signaling nonsense from QT audience and panellists.
Labour flooded the country with extra people from overseas and put extra pressure on NHS hospitals. Labour then reduced GP hours and put extra pressure on NHS A&E hospitals as sick people went there, instead. You can pretty much trace most major NHS problems in modern times back to Labour.
As for nurses, their endless victimhood whining is tiresome. Nurses have actually had above-inflation payrises in the past decade through a two-pronged approach of tax reductions + pay increases. They're always moaning about lack of investment, but NHS spending per head has risen significantly in the past decade, again way above inflation. And they're always moaning about how hard work it is to be a nurse, but most of the time you can see with your own eyes they're just huddled around in groups chatting about Corrie or surfing the Web.

Or resigning in droves, do you imagine they do that in order to watch more Corrie?Labour flooded the country with extra people from overseas and put extra pressure on NHS hospitals.

Your description of Nurses doesn't match my experience of them, but hey, perhaps your personal knowledge of them hasn't been as rewarding as mine.

My experience of them is that they are great in an emergency, but they just can't be arsed with the routine stuff.Labour flooded the country with extra people from overseas and put extra pressure on NHS hospitals.

I was in hospital for six days and there was a dead fly on the windowsill for all that time. I presented it in a paper cup when I left and they didn't bat an eye when I told them it had been there since day one.
They need a Staff Nurse like in Carry on Nurse, not someone who wants to be their best mate.
Re wages. It's the bottom right of your payslip that matters, not the top left. I'll bet that their bottom right has gone up by more than inflation since 2010.

Which above inflation pay rises would that be then? Obviously its not just nurses but across the board in the NHS Labour flooded the country with extra people from overseas and put extra pressure on NHS hospitals.

Fully agree. It was a PFI hospital or no hospital my arse. They just wanted to make themselves look good by building loads of schools, hospitals and prisons by hiding the debt.tOne of, in fact no - the main reason local health authorities are struggling to provide services is because of the MASSIVE ongoing costs of Labour's uncontrolled PFI fest.

I don't doubt its historical significance but its not exactly something to be celebrated.
Not only that, but after seeing it in Bayeux, it's a bit of an anticlimax. Why the media are getting so excited about a bit of old carpet hung on the wall in a glass cabinet I'll never know.t. I don't doubt its historical significance but its not exactly something to be celebrated.

The Nurse complaining on QT that the 24 hour canteen had gone does the profession no credit. In my experience the majority of Nursing staff are perfectly capable of feeding themselves when the hospital doesn't provide a canteen facility.
If the choice is better equipment, a badly needed ward refurbishment or a 24 hour canteen the nurses would choose the latter? ReallY?
There is a vocal section of the Nursing profession that go to a great deal of effort to shout from the roof tops how badly paid they are, how poor the working conditions are and how overworked they are.
Not exactly selling the job to new entrants is it? It won't have occured to them that putting new entrants off means they are contributing significantly to things they are complaining about.
Billions have been poured into pay at all levels in the NHS, maybe the tap has been turned off in more recent years and some perks have disappeared. The selective amnesia is incurable.
Wingo.

k did they dream that one up The full title was Deputy Mayor for Education and Culture of London. Prior to that she was Cultural Advisor to the Mayor of London and director of arts, culture and the creative industries for the Mayor of London. Clearly a very important lady.
The tapestry rears its ugly head again. And I do mean ugly. There are children's samplers from that period that are streets ahead in terms of depiction of events, people, and skilled embroidery. It's embarrassingly crude in its representation of events, not unlike French history come to think of it.
The American guy on the panel was ingratiatingly obsequious. I thought he thought he was being 'English'.
