Amazing how we’ve gone from “clap for the NHS they’re amazing” to “you want fair compensation? psst!”
Also if the strike has only been going on for a little while then how does the Daily Mail account for the fact that NHS quality has gone down every year of the decade long Tory rule.
Maybe it’s not the doctors that’s the problem… maybe it’s the politicians (including Labour since Wes Streeting is chomping at the bit to carve up the NHS and continue the Tory legacy)
Dude isn’t this “mildly infuriating”. The daily mail is designed to piss people off, feels more than “mildly” infuriating lol
Guys! I have this genius idea.
Let’s pay them to stop the strike!
It’s so simple. Give them a reason to keep doing their jobs, and this whole thing can be over with. Amazing.
Not much up to date with UK politics but striking Doctors sounds a bit irresponsible. I totaly get the need for fair compensation and they should totally get that, no question, but is it a good idea to strike in the health industry? There have to be better options, no? Or maybe I‘m just uninformed but this sounds like it’s puting peoples health at risk, which feels wrong to me.

How is “despite waiting lists being a record high” on the doctors? That’s on the hospitals or government for not hiring enough doctors, probably because they don’t pay well enough. The doctors should add “the waiting lists are too long” to their complaints (if not already on there).
[they] should add “the waiting lists are too long.
They have, for your information :)
He said: "The government was presiding over this problem long before any industrial action - waiting lists were steadily getting worse for the decade leading up to the pandemic arriving.
“In fact, it is these waiting lists - and doctors being unable to do their jobs because of underinvestment, workforce shortages and rota gaps - that lie behind the strikes they’re being forced to take now.”
Patients are harming striking doctors. If they want to be seen sooner, they could help apply pressure to the government to improve conditions, instead of licking boots and crying about labour action.
There’s a very high level of support for NHS strikes, around 2:1 for vs against. Mebbe cast aspersions on those with the power to resolve them, not the people the Daily Mail will never give a platform to.
Is that 2 thirds getting off the couch and doing anything? Interesting that the western world can sanction countries under the logic that people can pressure the governments. But when it’s time for pressuring their own, well… suddenly it’s time to get indignant about casting aspersions. At least the French riot. Maybe the UK is waiting for another bus to tell them what to believe.
You’re calling yourself comrade but you think it’s all about individual actions and nothing to do with power?
Fuck knows what sanctions have to do with it. Since when did ordinary people get to decide when and where sanctions are applied?
Empty posturing, finger-wagging, sneering. Great tools for building solidarity ‘comrade’.
Solidarity is when no one does collective action and just blames the media.
If you cannot be arsed to think about how power works, there is no helping you.
Still, at least France will get its revolution. All those people out on the streets, it’s inevitable, right? So easy, the whole world would be a socialist paradise if only people weren’t so stupid and lazy and too busy keeping a roof over their heads to be more like your saintly self.
your saintly self.
You hopped up on the high horse first my friend.
I was originally making a contrary joke in response to the headline. With a bit of a message tacked on about supporting strikers, semi in response to entitled behavior I’ve directly seen by people on the Canadian side of things. With a bit of natural disdain for the British thrown in of course.
Now it’s true I’ve been a bit of a dick but you’re in the mud with me too lmao.
there is no helping you.
And what was it you said?
Great tools for building solidarity
Anyway I’m not sure we’re really on separate sides here, so much as just being nasty at this point. So peace.
The Daily Shart has never been anything but tabloid garbage, no one should ever be subjected to anything from that publication for the good of all humankind
