The days when we all tugged the forelock to the NHS & godlike doctors who treated us are gone. The pandemic killed all that. Striking doctors will get no sympathy from the rest of us

Effie Deans The NHS has become a sort of 'infallible institution', that no politician can touch or criticise, other than to promise 'more money'.
Suggesting change usually results in claims of 'privatisation', the ultimate evil, profiting from other's misery.
Yet the highest paid are doctors

Effie Deans But you can’t train more doctors because the BMA controls and restricts the number of places. They refuse to increase this in response to the demand. It’s a protectionist racket.

The test was to see if doctors would respond to my challenge with care & altruism. All I got instead was we're worth it & give us more. Greed is good. That's Q.E.D. I think

Couldn't agree more. Very easy to see a doc in this part of France, undoubtedly it will go the way of the UK.

Effie Deans Oh yes indeed Effie, I have had many conversations about just this, most people agree. I also remember GP's who worked from 8am till 7pm, house calls included, sometimes 'popping in as I'm passing' if someone had been in hospital! Frankly I think someone should flush the system!

If you have campaigned against the SNP this is the year we can destroy it. But it's not over. There is still work to do. Don't blow it. We will never get so good a chance again

Why should I pay for my GP's Porsche Cayenne when I can't get an appointment?

No one working in the public sector paid by their fellow tax payers should earn more than twice average earnings. If you want to earn more work privately

With the Wellingborough by-election scheduled for February or March, I can't see Sunak calling a May General Election. There is no recent precedent for an incumbent PM struggling badly in the polls and choosing to call a General Election ahead of time. Why would he do it?

Don't share London's fate. It is common sense to resist this government and indeed the next whenever they show clear signs of hostile intent.

Hardly unfair to the late John Pilger who was resourceful in finding justification for Milosevic's thankfully failed war of conquest in the western Balkans.
