n public sector areas such as education, nursing, police, military? etc do you really want the most experienced staff members to be leaving the "front line" whether that's the classroom, wards, day to day policing or military work where they may do a really good job (better than many younger, less experienced staff)?

En masse, no. Some turnover is necessary, healthy and inevitable. 
 

Is there any evidence of mass defection in any particular sector? I don’t know. 
 

If people are leaving in droves then measures such as retention bonuses can be used. If people aren’t leaving in droves it makes no sense to increase pay. 
 

We’re all whoring out our time and energy in return for money. 
 

In commercial practice pay goes up when the economy and productivity are on the up. 
 

I’d suggest people don’t leave public sector jobs in times of economic uncertainty.  
 

Someone is prob gonna find a reliable data set to prove staff are leaving secure jobs - thinking about it, maybe prison guards are a good single sector example.

All positive steps. Just wait for the news that the tax payer will have to fund gym classes for the unemployed who have been prescribed them by the doctor.

Hopefully it will be cheaper in the long run, less fat people less cost to the nhs. It's just far too easy and cheap to eat unhealthy.

Really, I thought that the general consensus is 'junk' food is more expensive than 'good' food. I think a lot of people eat crap because they are lazy, not because it's cheap.

You can feed a family of four for fairly cheap with a pizza, crisps and fizzy drink from asda. I agree with the laziness though. Good food usually requires a bit of planning and some effort, I'm more than guilty of a fast food night instead of cooking.

Just sat and watched the daily SNP party political broadcast. That’s me more than ever convinced that Sturgeon has no real desire for this platform it affords her to be removed. Two weeks no deaths 2-3 people in ICU out of a population of 5.5 million yet she won’t budge on many issues or give real dates on allowing the country to try and get back on its feet. Possible gyms and swimming pools reopening on 14sept ?‍♂️?‍♂️Where the **************** does she pull these dates from. 
The feeling I get is she is just waiting desperately for any excuse to prolong this bullshit rather than move on.

Snowdons being a total shitstorm  for yrs (and probaby literally now smeared in human shit all over now as the summit cafe is closed) but its reaching new heights of crazy atm

 

More social distance in a chicken battery farm. ?

 

The 3 mile long conga line of people going up the miners track from pen y pass might be a guinness records atempt at creating the worlds longest queue?
