It seems the pension fund that owns it has maybe had a change of heart and said it will consider extending the lease or selling the site to the Council.

Any idea what made them change their stance?

Why or how they conduct their business is up to them.

My work recently implemented a new grade scale review/pay deal. It'd been in the pipeline for a while. The outcome was that it removed the bottom 2 points from each grade. Which sounds great, especially if you've just joined.

Feels like a complete kick in the balls to me though. I found out a couple of years back that my role was actually a higher grade in most parts of the organisation. Due to a re-organisation I was bumped up to the correct grade, but only at the entry point.

Fast forward to now, I've been doing the job 5 years, and I'm on step 3 of my grade (or step 1 after the grade scale review), and you've got other members of staff who are no more qualified, but vastly less experienced, who've been doing the job weeks/months being paid the same as I am

Quit stalling.

Without wishing to diminish in any way the often extraordinary bravery of emergency service workers, it's time politicians stopped using the phrase 'running towards danger' when praising them for their actions. I'm unclear what else we would expect them to do.

People online or in particular FB in this case who resort to name calling if you disagree with their opinion. Had an absolute roaster yesterday who having seen my profile retaliated to my different opinion by calling me a crowd crushing murdererer and asking if I had caused any more fans to die recently. I didn’t rise to it but WTF

Social media has a number of positives, but this facility for complete strangers to insult and abuse people is a huge downside. I wonder to what extent the introduction of social media has led to the deterioration of people's mental health. Not to mention its effect on Brexit and other political issues.

That's appalling. I'm not in the flog em/them thrash em brigade but there would be some exemptions for people who use language like that...
