They kicked rear end during the Ebola outbreak: Ok I'm starting to see this phrase a lot these days: quote:The swift battle was won not only with vigilant disinfecting, port-of-entry screening and rapid isolation but also with boot leather and lots and lots of in-person follow-up visits, Is this an evolution of the phrase "boots on the ground" which in turn means "people present at the scene"?

What's this Starmer / Saville thing I keep seeing references to but no details? Obviously, I didn't get the memo.

It goes with the Savile stuff from earlier, Starmer's used to working in an environment where unless a clear solution is spelled out one way or the other, the default response is to do nothing but say that it's possible that something could be done in theory. This also happens to be Liberalism.

I don't know, even the boris-what-a-legend boomers in my life are filling up facebook with stuff like It's so pathetic that Starmer isn't taking a strong stance on "Let's not kill more British workers and grannies" he's letting Johnson just get away with it.

Section 44 does nothing to protect you as all your work needs to do is say they have taken all precautions and your workplace is safe. If you don't turn up then they can fire you. You might be able to get a tribunal to go your way if you can prove it wasn't safe but you're not getting one of them till next year so good luck I guess.

Fair enough, but surely how practical the law is to enforce (if we're assuming the workplace definitely is unsafe and a tribunal would find that) shouldn't affect whether you'd support a union telling it's members to follow it or not?
