The main thing I ask about on-call is what the scope is and how many people are covering it.

There’s one end where they have a kid who takes calls and literally 70% of them go to you, plus you are on call every other week because there’s only three on the rota and one guy quit/is on holiday.

And then there’s the other end where there’s multiple on call teams and your team only gets called for very specific reasons, you are one of 5-6 people on the rota, on call bonus is massive plus 1.5*wage for every call out.

The BBC news at 10pm on this was hard to watch. Boats across the channel full of Sudanese men standing on each other are no place for little girls.

Weren’t Freddos 5p and now about 40p? So 8x. Not that your point isn’t still valid. Wages have maybe doubled.

How unethical do you have to be to stick a child in an Airbnb with agency staff and profit from it out of the public purse…

That is most definitely not a fun fact. It’s bad enough having the Yanks telling us how to speak our own language!

Owners of care homes in ‘current year’ are potentially the worst example of unregulated capitalism. Somehow managing to profit off of the suffering of both the workers and the residents/residents families. It’s awful and not even like it’s that easy to fix because most can’t afford the higher costs that come with ethical care homes.
