1% Pay Rise to the NHS

[Baggiemadguern]

The thing is many, many working class have had to cut their cloth to suit the times they find themselves in. Low paid workers who are already struggling and are now out of work would likely be more than content to remain employed with the offer of a 1% pay rise.

I can only thank our health services for the service they have provided throughout the pandemic but to use the pandemic the pandemic as a stick to demand a 12.5% increase in pay is a little hard for those who no longer have work or an income, is perhaps a little difficult to swallow.

Having an opinion on politics, religion, political correctness and being and expert in so many fields is wonderful if you can accept the reality of ones own silliness

The reality is, as a nation one should realise everyone is a small cog in a big wheel. Many people give generously to charity because they want to and do that without having to shout about it. Many others work tirelessly throughout the pandemic, some for longer hours than normal for no extra, just to keep the wheels of industry turning. Now might not be the time to make a point. Now is a time for sticking together and getting through this. The pandemic has cost the UK and Governments globally billions and someone has to pay. It is going to take a joint effort, not just one wealthy lottery winner. Everyone is in this together.
