Civil Servants (public sector) are paid by the tax payers. Mostly by the people who worked hard and pay 60% tax.

 @baggierols73 If you raise tax on people who earn more they will leave the UK. Who is going to fund all the public services then?

@baggierols73 Public service workers already get higher wages than the average income. The cold hard reality is the NHS is broken because of poor management and little accountability for crazy spending. Don't say doctors and nurse will go elsewhere to work because the majority of nurses already came from other countries for a better life and higher income. If there were better financial opportunities for those foreign nurses, they would be working in other countries already, not the UK. If YOU, personally want to pay double the tax to fund doctors and nurses 40% pay rise demands go ahead. The money can't be pulled from thin air like magic. The pay rises that are demanded in the NHS adds up to 43 Billion. It's not going to happen. There isn't a magic money pot.

@baggierols73 You are missing the point. They are public servants. Funded by the tax payer. The NHS Union bosses are laughing at you. They told you to cause delays by endlessly cancelling hospital appointment for the past 2 years. Because the Unions are a big political funder of the Labour party. Suddenly there are no more NHS/Doctors strikes planned? I wonder why? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 All the NHS workers were sold a lie by the Unions. Now more people are paying £50 a time to go private. Soon you won't have an NHS job with a nice pension. You will have to work in the private sector. The greed within the NHS has become it's own downfall.

@baggierols73 Congratulations for proving my points correct. YOU don't want to pay more tax. If you personally do something to stop mass migration we would have more money for the armed forces and the police. It's very true that doctors and nurses come to the UK for better training and because they aren't originally from the UK they are transient and happy to travel to second and third countries after they receive training and qualifications funded by the UK tax payers. I was in hospital this week and there were serious language barriers between staff members due to poor English. The way to resole these issues is to train British people who have family ties to the UK, so most of them wont leave the UK once they become qualified. It's really that simple. Then the UK can reduce the number of nurses and doctors being trained every year because they stay working in the UK in the NHS. Importing poorly trained, poorly spoken English nurses doesn't work. Its not cost effective and doesn't work long term because they move to other countries. Plus the treatment received is sub standard because of the language barrier means they spend more time standing around waiting to ask questions than they do actually nursing. That's not me being unkind, it's just the simple facts/truth.

But if you over tax the so called rich they will continue to leave the UK in droves.
