If i have to give up work, travel, social life and live as a prisoner in my home to "save" a service, why exactly am i paying for it?
Exactly right. Why would I buy a rain cape that I need to protect from the rain?
So Not just a yoga instructor then?

How Annemarie Plas was inspired by similar Clap for Carers events in her native Holland
Annemarie Plas, 36, came up with the weekly Clap for Carers ritual that ran for ten weeks on Thursdays at 8pm during the first lockdown after being inspired by similar events in her native Netherlands.
The mother-of-one and yoga teacher, who is from Amsterdam, now lives in a three-bedroom house worth £550,000 in Streatham, South London, and is married to a British man.
She works as regional sales director for Objective Partners, a marketing consultancy based in her home city. (Objective Partners specialises in data analytics for sales and marketing. If you don’t understand all that jargon, they’re a bit like Cambridge Analytica. Remember them?)
She has degrees in communications and law and previously worked in PR for the Dutch media firm Sanoma and communications group Starcom.
Mrs Plas originally thought her show of support for frontline workers might end up being just her and a few friends sharing a moment on Facetime.
But it turned into a huge national event each week, with millions of people lining their thresholds, gathering on pavements and standing in their gardens to show their support.
However the event was criticised for becoming politicised and Mrs Plas said it should finish in May, which it did before tonight's planned restart.
I live in Social Justice central where the locals came out at 8pm every Thursday to rattle their pearls, create a din and generally signal to the world their moral virtue.... It didn't happen yesterday, not a dickie bird heard. Tumbleweed.

I have some sympathy for the NHS.
Not only do they have to deal with the overwhelming task of treating Covid Patients, the pressure of which will not subside until the summer, but they are forced to take health risks to do so. When Covid demands are finally reduced, they will have to spend years dealing with the backlog of treatments pushed back by the pandemic. When those backlogs are finally laid bare, they will be subject to further criticism.
When those backlogs are finally laid bare, they will be subject to further criticism.
NHS is always above criticism. Its a cult.
Which is why it'll never ever improve.
