As for the rest, it is a matter of opinion and experience. The bottom line is that no-one is paid unless they earn more than they cost and if that line gets crossed they very soon find themselves out on their ear.

Am I a rascal? I prefer to think astute closer to the truth astute and focused.
Amen to that Todger....

You could be right and what a terrifying indictment of the leadership of the UK that is.

Awful woman with a shrill voice, no sense of humour and a silly menopausal hairdo.

Even the Tory MPs got sick of the bag eventually and gave her the elbow.

That's as maybe OldFogey, but while she was at her best, she did wonders for this country of ours. So much so that BLiar and Brown were able to ride her coat tails and spend what she had gained leaving us in financial rack and ruin again. (Remember that "note" that was left behind at the Treasury when Labour was voted out in 2010? "There's no money left" or words to that effect.)

Re: Good News for Doctors, Dentists, Police and Armed Forces

I wasn't mad about Maggie at the time..... but in retrospect, she was a darn sight better than the lily-livered ditherers and buffoons we've had since.

For better or worse she had a certain personal magnetism which could be dubbed dictatorial but I don't think any other world leader treated her as a numpty which Bush did with Blair and now Trump does with Boris.

I think she was stabbed in the back by the same people who are now called 'The Remainers'. She realised the error of signing up to the EU in the end and had to go.....

Everyone has lost a lot, Doctors just Triage now, at a distance, other folks are at more risk.
