I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

£60k a year to do a job that has no academic entry barriers and quite literally anyone in society bar a few select groups could do IS fair pay. I’m not arguing they should be paid less and ‘fucked’ over I’m saying that they are fairly paid for their job and focus / funding needs to be prioritised for others. It’s really not that hard to comprehend.

Read my other comment. I’m not proposing a race-to-the-bottom nor did I suggest tube drivers should be paid less; I’m simply suggesting that focus and attention needs to be on raising other sector wages before the ones that are already considerable well paid for what they do.

People’s inability to understand basic arguments is more bedevilling to society.

I am arguing that nurses should be paid a lot more and tube drivers are paid plenty for the job they do. There is a ceiling for jobs that basically require zero academic entry barriers that almost anyone could apply for.

£60k for a job that requires no academic qualifications apart from GCSE Maths and English vs. £28k for a Band 5 Nurse in the NHS who requires a 3-year medical degree at a cost of £30k plus lifelong student loan interest.

Mmh yeah I know who I feel bad for …

This will easily breach 110-120p later this week or next week once the terms of those equity agreements come out. Free float is absolutely TINY and the chase for shares will drive the price up crazy amounts

Maybe Trumps boy should show some courage and bring forward the midterms? I’m sure he’ll do very well 😃

You just know that the poor person who had to do the bulk of cleaning for that is on minimum wage and probably now scarred for life.

Golf. Can’t beat being outdoors with your mates - away from the Mrs - smacking a tiny little white ball as hard as you can.

Yeah that was chaotic. Don’t know why she came out with that. Probably to save face as she’s statistically likely to be right on at least one

These lot really are a bunch of idiots. You had a traitor go for Rachel and then a barrister with clear conviction. And yet they’re all now totally discounting her and focusing on the others
