They could get a ferry across to Ireland and earn about £10K more than that. don't doubt your claim but it's not as simple as that.

It's getting a bit of a pain to hear all the time but i'm assuming they're keeping this up to try and help stop folks from just completely ignoring the restrictions that are there just now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty widespread tactic among contractors. That being the case I wonder if hypothetically they would support dividends being taxed in the same was as income to fund support from the Government? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, but it'll be a bizarre moment when she suddenly goes "Cases? We don't care about stinking cases." No point in hanging on the words - we'll do the same as England. The briefings are pointless now. Edited March 5, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost of living in the USA and Canada is similar to the UK, both those countries nurses are in the top 10 paid in the world. The UK is well down that list, nowhere near the top 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but he also spent a chunk of it warning us that cases are rising across largely unvaccinated Europe, all the while completely ignoring the successful vaccine programme over here. Half the time it feels like the vaccine programme isn't actually happening. Edited March 5, 2021 by Steven W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he did address that point in terms of WHO telling countries to get their finger out with vaccines and emphasised that we are going in the opposite direction than a lot of Europe is. The hospital figures are continuing to drop like a stone. That’s surely going to slow down? If that kind of drop sustains the actual hospital numbers will be negligible in the next three or four week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Sounds to me very much like the Scottish Government have seen the backlash regarding their negativity and are now having to adjust their tone accordingly, not least because the data already merits this. Even on international travel, I think they realise it's inevitable that we'll be opened up by midsummer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 A friend of mine is comfortably making 25k in her role (can't remember which band but she isn't in any supervisory role) and as you say the offer for overtime is always there. It's hardly as if they are on minimum wage. It's a comfortable position with good job security. Not for a second saying it is an easy profession however and I can only imagine the strain of the last year has had on them. Sorry, but “comfortably making £25k” a year is pretty much bang on the Scottish average wage. You’re making it out to be that they’re raking it in being a big standard nurse. They’re not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to pay your nurses better in the US when a broken leg sets you back £10k, in fairness. Pay is an issue in the UK, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
