Looking for savings of £350 billion to cover the cost of saving all those lives? Easy, just scrap the HS2 project and Trident replacement project and that will suffice and leave some money left over (factoring in the inevitable overspend on those two projects).

Rev Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Anyone else notice the poor DIY job done in removing the switch top right? Gives a poor impression of the country to the outside world from our seat of power. Be better to leave a brass blanking plate in, or at least cover it up with a nuddy calendar.

I thought it was pretty interesting to see how much value the NHS puts into funding new drugs and proceedures (£30k per year of potential life) and how much treating CV is costing for per year of additional life (£500k). He also discussed the potential recession we face and the increased poverty, violence and suicide rates that it will lead to - something that is regularly thrown at the Tories re. austerity. He didn't mention anything about the mental or societal cost of inaction nor the fact that it would be political suicide for any government simply let nature take its course but I guess that wasn't the point of the article. I found it interesting anyway. I don't have to agree with it or like him to see the value in the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I start a new job on Monday. By chance on my Twitter feed I've discovered today that anyone starting a new job after the 28th Feb will not be eligible for furlough which is an absolute disgrace IMHO. I was on a 3 month notice period so quit my job at the start of January well in advance of anyone foreseeing the repurcussions of the Coronavirus outbreak here. By sheer fortune I'm moving to another essential job i.e. food manufacturing however if they decide to send me home or close the factory down then I'll get nothing, is absolutely disgraceful that there are people through no fault of their own that have started jobs in March, their workplace has then been shutdown and they'll receive nothing because of a nominal government cut off date.
