" I'll simply repeat that the definition of illegal gathering is about to be hugely expanded. The moment they declare a gathering illegal (merely for being too noisy or too much of an 'annoyance') the chances of violence increase exponentially. In your world this would entail rubber bullets and water cannon being available to police to use against otherwise peaceful protestors"
This 100000000% . So many are drowning in the dramatics of the CV19 show .That They are missing whats been going on around the world and how the new UK laws allow some seriously dangerous powers to be used against society . |

The most recent NHS figures reveal there are about 39,000 vacancies for registered nurses in England, with one in 10 nursing posts unfilled on acute wards in London and one in five nursing posts empty on mental health wards in the south-east. What might those regional shortages be caused by do you think? And as to Unions, without them you would no longer have a right to holidays, sick pay etc etc. It also stops unscrupulous employers from firing and rehiring. https://www.counterfire.org/news/228...ire-and-rehire And there is a simple reason why the pilots you know are NOW paid less than tube drivers - supply and demand. |

And then this today..
The charge of £3.50 a day would rise to £5.50 for vehicles that weren’t compliant with the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone. |

Funny enough that sounds like the sort of deal truck drivers get, pay for your training through a separate company and hope to earn £35k a year, it's why young people are not coming into the industry and around 50% of those qualified to drive don't actually earn their living driving. Petrol shortages anyone?

Funny how to change people's behaviour its to penalise them for doing the behaviour they want to stop. Not enticing them to behave the way they want to by making that new behaviour significantly easier or cheaper.
For example, contact drivers driving into ULEZ areas with polluting cars and offer them discounts on public transport to persuade them from using their cars for certain trips? Although, I know the answers are very rarely that simple. Was nice to walk around central London on the Sunday afternoon of the Marathon with roads closed and no traffic.

This whole 'he said, she said' thing sounds a bit fishy. I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere with a vendetta against the Mayor is making numbers up without actually thinking it through, and I also wouldn't be surprised if it eventually turns into policy. Quote:
So it becomes a balancing act between the complexity of the process to get qualified, and the wages offered. As the industry already has problems getting enough skilled train drivers at wages significantly higher than £35k, the only way to lower wages would be to make it easier to get qualified, which would impact safety and reliability. But where's the money coming from to make it significantly easier or cheaper? If someone has got to pay for it, who better than the people doing the behaviour that they want to stop? |
