The issue is neither communist nor capitalist win001. Communisim is not the opposite of capitalism, just self-interest wth yet another self-serving ideology. And while every criticism of the excessess of capitalism is called communist there is no hope for any of us. | mark c (247) | ||

| 424043 | 2006-01-26 08:42:00 | My pal the cynical self-interested privatiser simply calls it 'candy'. Whether or not this is the slang/shorthand in the industry I don't know. Haha come to think of it the expression 'like taking candy fom babies' was my choice. It's really giving candy to babies. Tsk Not good for babies. |

What springs to mind is the shortage of skills because of short term goals and cheese pairings; scientists:- no career structure, short term funding, no funding=redundancy; nurses, cut to the bone, overworked, over stressed, miserable pay, same for junior doctors; apprenticeships, what's that word mean? I see no apprentices, anyone seen an apprentice around in recent years? |
