Actually I work 10-6 and alternate Saturdays.
I do that so I can make sure my nan is ok on a morning but still get back in time to make her a hot meal and spend some time before she goes to bed.
Normally you seem quite reasonable da5id but in this case I'm inclined to say get off your fucking high horse.

You're right. Sorry. It's just every new term of every government the same cycle of events happens:
1. The incoming health secretary realises that healthcare costs have spiralled out of control, mainly because social support backup has died leaving the NHS to provide services well beyond its original remit
2. They impose a cosmetic system change that ends up burning out already stressed out staff of all levels (nurses, doctors both junior and consultant).
3. They can't blame the nurses (the Sun would never stand for that) but because consultants are still seen as they were in 1930s Punch cartoons, they blame them. Said consultants oppose the cosmetic system change, and get accused of being lazy and uncooperative.
TL:DR version: when someone suggests by implication that Michael Gove is right, the red mist descends!

Forgiven, forgotten.
As a public sector worker I'm also acutely aware of what the rhetoric is any time there's a change of government. At the moment I'm looking forward to seeing them try to explain why they don't pay a lot of their civil servants the so-called living wage.
