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)
What I am shocked at is people still buy tabloid news papers in the UK especially the junk papers like the daily mail. The UK media is brought and sold just like the US media. All trash, don't support them.
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).
Why is written 'harming' in single quotes? Is this some opinion that someone has had that they are publishing as fact?
The government is just holding out in the hope that public opinion on the strikes turns on their favour or that the nurses and doctors run out of savings to keep striking.
It's a tabloid for the working class that actively promotes shitting on the working class. Unfortunately, they're as popular now as they ever have been.
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.
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
As someone who is consistently a patient I can very safely say that the only things that harm me are pharmaceutical and insurance companies. (I’m USA based)
Not to detract from the discussion but does anyone know what's handwritten at the top of the 'paper' above the word Daily? It looks like it says "Hi Hi Farm" or "4141 Farm" and it's becoming that mystery that's going to periodically pop in my head at night when I'm trying to sleep.
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.
If junior doctors are paid so badly wouldn't a better response to this be to quit and do something else or move to a different country? You help yourself and eventually the NHS has to realise that only paying a gazillion bureaucrats whilst having too few and too badly paid doctors isn't going to work out. To be fair this is already happening, many doctors have left and we have 22 month waiting times... Time is approaching where NHS, the huge bureaucratic behemoth, is dismantled and replaced with something better.
