Affirmative. Had many more patients cancel their appointments due to 'covid' reasons in the last 2 weeks. At our main practice half our dentists are now off due to Covid (and I suspect one of the part-time managers will be as she is married to one of them) and with one on holiday that leaves the boss and the main guy I work with to take on everyone's emergencies.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
We are also seeing more and more unregistered come in through the emergency sessions we offer with horrendous teeth. There is a huge shortage of support for NHS dentistry and clinicians are dropping out like flies so there is a huge amount of the public who cannot register under NHS. Not to mention the staff leaving in droves and retraining as more of the public feel it's acceptable to be threatening and rude, as well as nursing is not the best pay (most of our younger nurses are training to be flight staff too or at least hope to).Comment

I went to the dentist today for the first time in over 20 years... couldn't register so had to pay private.
Teeth are all great! 40 years and none coming out, zero fillings, just a clean. And from the Sweets thread maker too!
Johnson doesn't help things at all by saying Ukraine should host Eurovision 2023. Nice sentiment said for the wrong reasons that will result in a lot of harassment and trouble for other peopleComment

Just wanted to say, here, that this feeling isn't universal. We've had this debate on here before though and I think we've found no-one's changing their minds on the topic.Originally posted by Yakumo View Post
Yeah; we're in a country where people laugh when a protestor for climate change is hit by a car. We're just ****, aren't we? The government is banking on that the public will throw stones at the "greedy" rail staff, anything to get them to talk about something other than Partygate.Originally posted by Nu-Eclipse View PostComment

Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostThe real question is what did the billionaire Rupert Murdoch gain from helping out Johnson with this, the public want his head on a stick so its not within their interest to support him, they want to sell advertising space and to do that their papers have to align with their readership, Jhonson must of given them a pretty big cookie to get them back on side.Alastair Campbell, the former No 10 director of communications under Tony Blair, tweeted on Sunday that the disappearance of the story appeared to be “further evidence that much of our media is essentially an extension of the press office of a liar and a crook”. He also said that the Times owner, Rupert Murdoch, had “done so much damage to journalism”.Comment

It's not about money with Murdoch; he's 91 years old and can't take it with him. It's about power/leaving a mark on the world.Originally posted by Lebowski View PostComment

I feel like Murdoch's kind of failed on that front. He's a rich, bad man but I feel like as the years pass after his death history will largely forget him.
