The people getting big pensions are few and far between.

What ticks me off the most is now being told that we are working longer. I believe the police, fire and armed forces will still be able to retire early but not nurses and midwives!!!!!

I would love to ask all of our MPs one question..


If you are hospitalised and are a patient on one of our massive wards, in one of these new super hospitals that are springing up everywhere and you have a cardiac arrest......... Who would you want to run for the Defibrillator??

A 25 year old nurse or a 65 year old nurse????


It's a no brainer.

Yeah but it could be a really fat unfit 25 year old nurse
