Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Perhaps it is and there are no people for her to call? For me its just silly for anyone to complain for getting paid to do nothing. As I said, its too easy to resign and let someone else have the stress of doing nothing for money.
Whether the ssytem is working or not wasn't my point, the point was the woman complaining about getting paid for nothing. What really made me smile was that the article said she had only spoken on condition that she remained anonymous. i wonder why? Perhaps it was for fear of losing the great job she has?

No intention of. I haven't had a good keyboard warrior argument on here for days!
It breaks up the boredom of sitting here, and I'm not even getting paid by the government to sit her like she is.

Did you learn what Evra said to the Uruguayan player ?

Re: Coronavirus update

Yes, . If they feel it is wrong they can, as I suggested, just resign, quit, walk out, stop doing it, desist, and then they can watch Netflix for nothing.
Then, as I said, the job can be given to people who are happy to be paid to sit and do nothing.
I don't even understand why the media report it except to stir the shite?

I'll remember that the next time you complain about Government's (usually Labour) wasting money.

Currently, my 3 neighbours are on furlough. They had a big bbq last night with about 8 visitors from different households. A couple stayed overnight. They have been offered the chance to return to work, both refuse, why work when you are getting 80% of your wages for nothing.

As a result of their garden party, I had 5 hours sleep before starting work at 8am. I'll be working until 5:30 pm - but getting paid until 1pm (25 hours a week - I am currently earning less than 80% of my wages). When this blows over, my taxes will probably rise to pay for some people (not all) to take the piss.

The Government, feeling extra generous, have now employed thousands of people to sit around and do nothing. I'm glad the media have brought it up, imagine if they only reported on stories that made the Government look good. That would certainly suit the confirmation biases that are on display by the resident loony who would be the first to say "you make these claims, but they are not reported anywhere".

Watch as he replies with a waving smiley - the resident Oscar Wilde.

Ah, so you come here to troll for arguments to liven up your boring existence. Glad I have that in writing.

Re: Coronavirus update

Sorry TBG, I missed you post earlier.
Yes that is wrong, but it wasn't that I was I was commenting on, it was the woman complaining for getting paid to watch Netflix. As I said the solution to her dilemma is obvious. just resign from her job and sit and watch it whilst not getting paid.

The deeper question of them doing nothing is dependent on whether they are doing nothing because they system is not working or they are doing nothing because the system is working but there is not a huge amount of tracing to do.
The BBC report made no effort to explain which point was correct or offer and 'evidence' for one or the other. They just chose to leave the reader with the impression that the woman doing nothing was the government's fault but didn't explain why.

Didn’t one of the professor blokes say the other night that there isn’t a huge amount of tracing to do at the moment for various reasons?
Did he state that most cases are only happening in places they know about like care homes and hospitals? I can’t quite recall.
Getting paid to do nowt eh? Yet we Brits love a moan don’t we.....

Re: Coronavirus update

Isn’t it a good attitude to complain that they’re getting paid tax payer’s money to do nothing?

Re: Coronavirus update

I thought all the above posts about people getting paid during the Covid crisis by the taxpayer and doing little was about teachers, I now realise it's some other public sector job, one wonders how many similar jobs like that there are about at the moment.

Re: Coronavirus update

Would anybody on here prefer to be sat at home watching telly rather than contributing towards the reduced spread of the virus if they could?

Maybe, but it would be a far stronger message to say, "I've resigned because I was doing nothing and I don't want to waste the tax-payers money". In reality this woman is complaining but insist on remaining anonymous, and that makes me ask why? Is it because she doesn't want to lose the cushy job she is complaining about?
But again, the point is that the BBC offers up the article and leaves the reader with the impression that it is bad, but it may be that there are no calls to make because everything else is running OK. Its a bit like the nightingale Hospitals, they are not being used, so is that good thing or an outrageous waste of the tax-payers money?
