Yes. Kids will still get an education without a couple of inspections. They won't if workshy unions keep teachers at home.
It's what matters.That’s not quite the point is it.
Are you still in Beds?Honestly I’ve only ever met British born and bred primary school teachers where I live.
And is part of the point I was making - very few people from developed nations are moving to the UK to live in the suburbs.Just googling it and it appears that it’s inner cities that have the mix of nationalities
I’d guess that’s a reflection of the demographic of the pupils too
YeahAre you still in Beds?
Certainly in London there is are plenty - I know primary teachers from Canada, NZ and Australia and they have dedicated agencies.
All of which have/are leaving as London is pointless in a pandemic.
The opportunities exist for commonwealth workers to work here temporarily - but little incentive to stay long term.
It may be that our plan - essentially have a never ending supply of "supply" teachers and nurses. It would save £ on wage increases, but seems like a very risky strategy for delivery of essential services.
Yeah why notAnd is part of the point I was making - very few people from developed nations are moving to the UK to live in the suburbs.
They are coming to experience something that a larger city offers. And with that comes higher costs of living. So when you want to live in the suburbs you go back home.
Yeah why not
It’s the city bubble life
London is just that. A world of its own
Exactly. So back to your original point, if we want to get and keep ex colony workers from developed nations we need to offer reasons to settle here or accept a constant flow and turnover in key professions.
And Astra Zenica say they can produce 1-2m per week.
Then you better hope there is sufficient supply from those places with a lower quality of life across all key sectors.Well the ones I know have come here for the ££ mainly

Although I do suspect we'll see a big increase in salary and benefits for key workers under a labour government as it'll be a political vote winner.
I think we may have hijacked the covid thread a bit! Whoops
What are the obstacles preventing us just blitzing through the population with the vaccination? Is it physical issues like not enough qualified stuff, places to vaccinate etc or is it bureaucracy issues such as problems keeping track and establishing databases and such?
Edit. Just found this data that shows we had given 944k as of 27th Dec. How is that possible when we were told we only received 400k of that first Pfizer order?
If true then almost 1mill done already a week ago with the AZ one starting today doesnt seem to bad. I just don't understand that figure.

I think it's production levels too?With the amount of doctors/nurses/care workers/even vets!!! That can be trained up theres no reason We shouldn’t be hitting 500k a day
we have football stadiums/airports/schools/unis/colleges all empty so we have the space
the only reason we can’t hit a high daily target is the government.
I think it's production levels too?
Astra Zenica say 1-2m production per week.
And that's with no hiccups.
We also won't be the only buyer and most vulnerable should get priority globally.
For anyone under 50 i think it'll be 2022 for the vaccine
We have more of the other one coming as well I believe.
Oxford are saying they have all the vaccines good to go and don’t see any issues.
Moderna Should get the go ahead soon as well
I think u50s without conditions will be optional
