NHS Blog Doctor writes that British GPs win Eurolottery: “A full time partner in my practice currently earns about £140,000 year net of expenses. Over the last two years, we have had a pay rise of between twenty and twenty-five percent”

and of cause, he states,you can increase your pay by these lovely ruses too by using “Trainee GPs are better than free labour; GP trainers actually get PAID to have them” or “get a full time salaried GP for £70,000 a year. That is half the income of the GP principal” or even better get a nurse to do the work “You can afford six practice nurses for each GP” and of cause you need someone for the “administrative job of organising and presenting data” to maximise your wealth.

No wonder Ellee’s xGP partners are making her stick to the retirement age in their partnership agreement, when they stand to gain so much with these sorts of ‘pay’ rises and ruses courtesy of nulabour.

At last the green power community have homed in on the right thing for us folks on this sceptred isle to do. One project that can provide upto 7% of the UK’s electricity for the next few hundred years with no pollution greenhouse gases, radiation or fuel costs.

The BBC report today that the Severn Barrage is under active consideration again. I remember the earlier attempts and the report in 1975 which came out against it (I’m pretty sure, rather unbelievably, no consideraion of fuel cost was allowed in power station building, so the fact the ‘fuel’ was free was ignored rather like the Scottish hydroelectric schemes which produced ‘the most expensive’ electricity in the UK and now of cause produce the cheapest.

The fact that we could have had a Severn crosssing for ‘free’ instead of the £300,000,000 that was spent on the second crossing plus all the other tourism benefits means we have already lost out considerably.

Lets hope the ducks don’t win this one and that sanity prevails.
