[...], and calling our prime minister amongst other things a murderer. I don't think she is much good at the job, but she doesn't deserve that. You can't get much cheaper and nastier than that.

Not really much different from calling someone who successfully helped broker a peace that's saved who knows how many lives over the past 2 decades a "terrorist sympathiser".

I agree that both examples are beneath contempt, not to mention counter productive, but what's sauce for the goose.....

But I have never called Corbyn a terrorist! Feel free to link to post, where you think I have. I would never do that! Although if the gloves are off, I may start doing it.

Corbyn never did this. He opposed the peace process. He voted against the 1985 Anglo-Irish agreement.

Corbyn never wanted peace, he wanted Unification. This is fact.

With 30 days annual leave, 26 flexi days and 8 bank holidays. I'm effectively on holiday 3 months of the year! Hardly surprising that no one leaves until they are offered a VE package. There's no need. Life is simply so cushy.

Most I ever accrued has been 24 days a year leave. On top of which I worked hours of unpaid overtime.

The Union guys never lose any pay when they go on strike either. Simply sit around and accrue flexi time.

What do you do though? There are lots of different jobs in the public sector?

They are leaving though, and in my sphere and lots of others in the public sector, in absolute droves.
I do get that you and others feel that PS workers are cosseted and ungrateful, but its simply not the case.
If its so cushy, then how do explain the chronic staff retention issues?

I'd like to see some of the people on here cope with what Prison Officers, Police Officers, Nurses, Probation Officers etc have to put up with. Cushy is not the word I would use! A lot of days I go into work with sick feeling in my stomach and it's not due to fear about meeting a target or upsetting a manager either....it's about fear for my personal safety, being stabbed, being bawled at etc by someone with serious issues!

Absolutely! Fantastic that you are now getting on board by criticising those far left labour extremists, who are against the rescue services at Grenfell, by accusing them of withholding the numbers of those who have died.

I must admit I've been wondering about this. You post on here an awful lot. Constantly it seems. And your posts are generally indicative that you've spent most of the time in-between readiing the Guardian & other Labour supporting rags.

I do feel for you. It must be terrible having to spend all that time browsing the web, constantly terrified some inmate is going to sneak up & knife you. All those angry posts you have to type slagging the Tories, bravely taking your life in your own hands as you sweat over your PC, knowing that at any time you might face a quick shiv in the ribs from an angry Daily mail reader who happens to be banged up. As for being bawled at by someone with serious issues, I can only think you're referring to the threat from some Banker perhaps, thrown in the clink for his part in the GFC, who might suddenly try to tell you that it was Gordon Brown who told him he could do it?

Chin up.

No Chuck this is beneath you, Corbyn has been to more of my union meetings than any other MP over many years. He has backed public service workers for many years!
