I too shall decline this all too dangerous offer, and mostly for one seemingly insignificant point. Although my outside income is small, it is mine, and absolutely my business. My neighbour but one is a pilot with BA. He has an interest in and turns a few bob over trading vintage Jaguars.
It's none of BA's business. They let him do what he wants in his own time. The NHS, product that it now is of a Control Freak Prime Minister and a Marxist Health Minister (it is, as has been brilliantly pointed out, insignificantly different from the reviled Mk 1) wants to pry into my life and my time. Absolutely not. For me, this really is an invasion far too far.
Why the BMA sent another 2kg of trees to me without addressing this appalling proposal escapes me.
