[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1025272, member: 56232"] Which might be fair if they weren't throwing around more money than any government ever and that has been the excuse for a decade now. Tories don't have the "magic money tree" when they don't want to pay frontline workers but it pops into existence when they want to pay for other things. First it was "we are all in this together" as they didn't touch the wages for austerity, whilst increasing their own pay Then it was "we aren't out of the crisis yet" as they didn't touch the wages for austerity, whilst increasing their own pay Then it was "we have Brexit uncertainty" as they didn't touch the wages for austerity, whilst increasing their own pay Now it is "There is a crisis on, we don't have a magic money tree" as they don't touch wages despite throwing money around left, right and centre and will likely increase their own pay. Also reneging on a previous 3 year deal (pretty standard Tory now) NHS nurses have seen a real terms pay cut of about 15% the last decade and there is ALWAYS an excuse. If there is a genuine concern about the balance of payments, why not increase taxes on those who have heavily profited during the crisis? Just watch the Tories squirm and try to find any reason to not touch the wealth of the ultra wealthy whilst going "oh we have no money". [/QUOTE]
