Title: Nice work if you can get it
Post by: Michael Rolls on September 05, 2023, 08:32:36 AM
I have to keep checking the calendar - no, it's not the 1st of April. Humza Yousaf, Scotland's First Minister, is looking to introduce a four day working week for public sector employees with a pilot scheme apparently scheduled for the end of the year, although the Telegraph report has no details as to which services the pilot will cover. What next? Will this include the NHS, schools, refuse collection? The same amount of work will need to be covered and the SNP/Green coalition are already facing a £1 billion shortfall in planned expenditure over anticipated income. It's madness

Perhaps you could be a work from home advisor on something for him?

Ah no sorry you're English and inclusivity only goes so far.

Well Now I'm not English and neither is our FM, I'd like to advise him daily BUT, he certainly wouldn't like the advice I'd be giving himself.  :nooo:

If that party was called by a name that didn't include 'Scottish' they'd be finished.  I've been reading about the policy of no exclusions in Scottish schools.  The country once renowned for the quality of its education seems to be losing the plot. Labour's resurgence will be aided by its downfall IMO.

Too many of our politicians are taking their policies from a bunch of insane foreign megalomaniacs.
