Who's she sacked except Osborne? And she didn't show much sign of not enjoying that.Sandpit said:
I doubt she enjoys sacking people, any more than the person on the receiving end enjoys being sacked. She’s probably more annoyed than anything, that someone in her own cabinet betrayed her trust.Barnesian said:May looks pretty grim arriving at Downing Street a minute ago.

This is utterly fucking stupid. Patel has NOT resigned.
You do not abruptly drop your official duties abroad, get straight onto a plane in response to a "be here now" message from Downing Street to "resign".
May has sacked her. But hasn't got the political credit to sack her. Can she look any more weak and pathetic?0 -
I would be very surprised if Ms Patel ever returned to the cabinet, except possibly as Party Chairman. There are a host of capable, young, ambitious Conservative MPs who are now ahead of her in the queue. And ultimately, I can't see Theresa May forgiving a cabinet minister for lying to her.Big_G_NorthWales said:

In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial—the gold standard of trials—a combination of ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) was just as effective at treating patients with acute pain in an extremity as three other pain-killer combinations containing opioids. The authors of the study, which was published Tuesday in JAMA, suggest that emergency room doctors may be able to simply skip the opioids during and after urgent treatment.rcs1000 said:
Acute pain in an extremity is something like a cut foot. For which you should be using an anti-inflamatory (like ibuprofen) or a prostaglandin inhibitor (like acetaminophen). Yo0 -

No. Allowing someone to resign is exactly the same as a sacking.Jonathan said:

Post operatively, five years ago, I conducted some trials on me, in that I could blag morphine out of some of the nurses, but others fobbed me off with liquid paracetemol (= tylenol) and I have to say it's pretty potent stuff - I think we misunderestimate it cos it's available OTC.rcs1000 said:0 -

Any of them very publicly summoned from Africa to "resign"? Yes, I am very well aware of people being resigned. But that has zero credibility when the resignee has been dragged 2,000 miles to do so.Mortimer said:

Indeed. If any of our bosses called us straight back for an urgent meeting just as our plane landed 5,000 miles away, we’d probably have letters of resignation in our pockets too. There was only ever one outcome.Charles said:

Not just lying (repeatedly). Worse than that, having been summoned home, she went kicking and screaming by virtue of a (surely not) coincidentally timed Jewish Chronicle article which attempted to compromise No 10's position, forcing No 10 to issue an outright denial.rcs1000 said:

Looks like Boris escapes again, if May can't sack Patel for her recorded actions, then there is no way that Boris will ever voluntarily resign, whatever he does.....0

I'm not in the industry, and IANAE. But AIUI there are direct and indirect costs. The direct are obvious: the wages of the staff and the costs of employing them. The indirect are more complex: if a train is meant to have a guard and does not, it cannot be dispatched. This means you need enough guards to cover the eventualities that happen, and if a train has a driver but not a guard, the train's delayed and that's an extra cost.NickPalmer said:
What is the proportion of total cost of train operation that train companies save by not having guards? They are I'd think good to have but not critical; on the other hand, are they a significan extra cost?JosiasJessop said:
'Guards' are an anachronism on many lines. A throwback to the dieselisation program.
"You can't operate a packed 8 or 12 car unit with no-one on the staff other than the driver."
Yes, you clearly can, because it is done. After all, the guard can only be in one of those 8 or 12 units at one, and if it's full and he's at one end he can do bu**er all at the other end.
I'm not sure if guards are subject to the same stringent hours rules that drivers are, but if they are, then that's another layer of complexity (and they really should be, if you believe they're involved with safety).
Another indirect cost is what Southern has found; then they strike they cause chaos. And don't underestimate the misery the striking guards have caused their passengers.
But they're really not needed on many lines.0 -
