    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.

      Our government can’t pay doctors, but it can give away trillions to private corporations and constantly raise the pay of politicians.

        Almost like shitstains like Tories shouldn’t ever be elected. It’s amazing how dumb a certain percentage of the population is.

        Lithuania GDP Per Capita: $28,094

        UK GDP Per Capita: $46,371

        Brexit (and moreso post-GFC austerity) have been actions of brain-dead economic self-harm, but I don’t know where you got your numbers from here. Even PPP adjusted the UK is ahead.

        You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. If you think that life is bad in the UK, you’d die from starvation in Lithuania.

          Lithuania is actually doing pretty fine for itself. Haven’t heard of any people starving to death there. Might drop some sources for that?

            Numbeo.com for numbers, personal experience as well. Lithuania might be doing ok, but it’s nowhere near how good the UK is doing. Thus anyone struggling in the UK would be dead in Lithuania.

    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)

    Daily Mail is considered expensive toilet paper by a lot of Brits.

    The worst thing about it is that it’s not even available in two-ply.

    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.”

    And in a few years they’ll headline “Lazy students refuse to study medicine, hospitals closing due to doctor shortage!”

    Then they’ll tell you how the rich go to the EU for treatment and blame it all in Brussels

    That’s the Daily Mail for you.

    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.
