100% agree with all that. Broadening the topic a little...is it any wonder that there is little sign of any settlement with some of the most responsible and valued members of society - ambulance drivers, nurses, junior doctors, train drivers - when we look at the level of incompetence and dishonesty which currently typifies our ‘rulers’?
