scottsdad Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 My wife was signed off in January with a compressed nerve in her neck. She's on a phased return at the moment (last week, 2 hours per day; this week 4 hours, next week 6 and then back full time). The phased return is the suggestion of Occupational Health - a practicing GP who does this as well. She was signed off by a GP in the first instance, and since then by the GP practice's physiotherapist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael Rover Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 1 hour ago, Salt n Vinegar said: The long predicted Tory assault on the sick and disabled incoming. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68853166 It appears to be only in England, but I'm not entirely certain. Highlights from the article... "Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has set out plans to end what he called Britain's "sick note culture" if he wins the next general election. He said "work is good for people" and he was worried benefits had become a "lifestyle choice". The plans include fit for work notes away from GPs to "specialist work and health professionals" in England." The list of those groups the Tories have targeted for the vampiric press to go after is enormous. Now it's the sick and disabled. Any suggestions of more help is of course welcome, but any additional support has to be in place first, it's staff cannot under any circumstances be given performance targets rewarding "getting claimants off" benefits, and the new arrangements must be demonstrated to work in the interests of claimants before changes in benefits are implemented. For this new system to work, there would have to be tens of thousands of currently unemployed "specialist work and health professionals" knocking around - where are they? Almost looking forward to the next time a Tory canvasser comes to my door. Almost. Saw a bit of this on Sky News. He at one stage said it would reduce immigration as once people currently not working were "supported" back in into work they would fill job vacancies. Did not answer the where are these health experts question. You missed they also intend people not back into work after 12 months would have their claims closed. Very compassionate and supportive if you have mental health problems! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 4 hours ago, DA Baracus said: Saw some headline this morning on of those street digital screens that claimed Sunak is trying to stop GPs being able to sign folk off work. They've worked to take medical professionals out of the decisions regarding disability for a long time, so this is the next logical step. It'll be being floated to put the shits up everyone who works for a living (and isn't thick enough to believe that they'll never be affected by illness) so that we'll feel relieved by whatever halfway measure the Tories/Labour decide to implement in the name of "modernisation". Just the tip instead of a full forcible rogering. As ever, the aim is to take away the wealthy's responsibility for anything to do with the paupers, and everything points to them continuing to succeed in this aim for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Sorry, but the shifting the discussion onto sick people is a nice little diversion tactic from Rishi to create headlines. Have the media really already moved on from a story of a sitting MP being essentially kidnapped for ransom within 36 hours?? I mean, I know we live in Batshit crazy times when it comes to politics, but if you pause for a moment, that is quite staggering that there isnt massive investigations as to who these people were and why? Megan Markle farts in the bath and the Daily Mail claim she is causing icebergs to melt, surely this story doesn't just drop down the news? If this happened in Columbia you might half ignore it, but a sitting MP from the governing party has been kidnapped in the last few months and the PM is talking policy (cuntish policy, yes), but still policy. Mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, well, you could argue that the world going a bit mental is a good time to get these stories out, so to flip it the other way, Iran-Israel lobbing bombs at each other is as good a time as any to get some bad news out. Always find the conspires about folk thinking big events like Covid, extreme weather, wars, St Johnstone winning doubles etc are caused by some dark forces or governments controlling things. We cannot get anything to work in the UK and so if we had even tried to influence things, we'd just f**k it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best reason to get out of a parliament that gives us a chance of Tory governments based on Tufton Street "influence" and the Maily Dail. In the UK, you are rarely more than 5 years away from a government led by a Suella Braverman, Jonathan Gullis or even Nigel Farage clone. Too risky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a pesky lawyer manages to keep somebody off a plane, in which case most likely nobody will be getting on planes because every other lawyer will use what the first one did as precedent.

I agree with your logic but the Rwanda disgrace will be competing with some pretty major financial abominations - HS2, the Ajax armoured personnel carrier, any nuclear power project you care to mention, and the Tees Freeport corruption scandal to name a few. In terms of immorality though it's in a league of its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
