A friend of mine at work had her hernia op cancelled because of the strike. She has a chronic illness which means she uses the nhs on a monthly basis and ends up being hospitalised every couple of years. She fully supports the junior doctors strike because she's not a dickhead.
Anyone who uses that word, ever = not someone worth conversing with. Thanks for clarifying.Simples.
For wanting to defend an nhs which has done it's best to try and keep her alive for the last decade? I don't know why I'm replying you're an obvious troll so I'm going to stopShe is a fool, then.
The more I think about this, the more I think the time has come to starve attention-seeking little turds like you of the attention you so desperately appear to crave. Join Markytwat and co in my ignore list.The more I think about this, the more I think we would be better stopping defending the NHS and starting replacing it with a continental style state insurance scheme.
Please, stop thinking and play with your cuddly meerkat collection there's a nice chap.The more I think about this, the more I think we would be better stopping defending the NHS and starting replacing it with a continental style state insurance scheme.

I'm of the opinion that like in the US its a two part motive. One the huge profits to be made out of people who don't fancy dying or watching their kid go blind from a preventable, treatable ill. The other being the pressure it puts workers under to keep a job with a health plan, you'll eat a lot of shit before you give that up. Housing precarity in this country is similar imho. The stick of homelessness hanging over you and the carrot of maybe having a gaff of your own one day (increasingly a pipe dream). Food, health and shelter. Get people there and you scare them, keep them toeing a line. Plus you can milk them dry for money.The tories want to abolish the NHS to save their rich backers money and have us die younger, so that we are scared enough to touch our caps and eat shit. This is what Bliar brought about be destroying democratic socialism.
But I still think doctors should have to work weekends. Just like the rest of the NHS, and quite a bit of the rest of the workforce.

of course, its an MO so well worn as to become predictable now. Most recent example being Royal Mail- and in its end deliberatly undervalued despite market advice, the usual suspects gaining from this undervaluing. Osbournes mate made a killing on it. Thats normally called insider trading and people are supposed to go to jail for it. Mind you if osborne can't be shifted from position even after being pictured with a bowl of chang in front of him while in a brothel then what does it take.It's also about 'reforming' the NHS, reducing costs and expectations so that the slices carved off of it look like a better 'buy' for the private companies who take over. Lower the bar till the service is abysmal, unworkable - the private companies don't then have to make much effort to claim they have improved the situation and it is easier for the government to 'sell' privatisation as the solution, at least in the minds of the hard of thinking.
A lot do, though. Perhaps we should allow the Army to only fight wars between 9 and 5, Monday to Friday. Or stop the trains on the weekend, or the police, or....well you get my point.I s
Doctors already work weekends; many NHS support staff (critical to progressing many cases) don't. Most of the working population don't work weekends.
In the photo above I see nothing but fresh faced middle class kids who are treating this all as a big lark. Oh what jolly japes we are having, Justin!
they should be unshaven, huddled round a metal barrel with a fire in it looking grim of eye. Prat.

Of course people working weekends should get days off in the week, but I think a 7 day NHS is, fundamentally, a good idea.
I'm just pointing out that comparisons with the miners strike etc are so wide of the mark it's unreal.
The bit that says most of them don't.Which bit of 'doctors already work 7 days a week' are you not getting?
It's not being "compared", an equivalence is being drawn between the state's intentions with the miners then, and the state's intentions with the doctors now.

Fair (er) enough. But if that is the case I think the state was wrong in the miners strike and correct now. Simple as that.
I could never afford private healthcare in a million years. The point is, they are letting down the people, like me, who pay their salaries.
You're wasting your time. If this arsewipe isn't just here to stir trouble, then his level of critical thinking is way below being able to understand the concept of truth.I refer you back to the first paragraph of post #372.
Oh the poor dear. I expect she will make a full recovery.
Didums. Is that supposed to make me change my mind. I'll bet lots of people who had operations cancelled were crying too- both in sadness, frustration and pain.
