Dude isn't this "mildly infuriating". The daily mail is designed to piss people off, feels more than "mildly" infuriating lol

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)

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.

I'm interested, but how do we get our mates from Eton to profit from this?

Wasn't Brexit supposed to save them money so they can pour it back into the NHS?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, another lie from the brexiteer brigade which is a gift for future generations to live with.

Obligatory

Fuck the Daily Mail.

And The Sun along with them.

Absolute fucking rags that I wouldn't wipe my ass with.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Written by, and for, cunts.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, the Daily Fail. Fucking Murdoch rag.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It's owned by Viscount Rothermere, another ultra rich wealth-hoarding media mogul.

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).

But didn't you hear? Nobody wants to work!!!(for slave wages and predatory insurance plans)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

From the paper that brought you: "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" an editorial from 1934 reporting on Hitlers blackshirts, by the then editor Viscount Rothermere who's son the current Viscount Rothermere still owns it... same shite different arsehole...

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yes, the health secretary, it literally says so in the headline.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It'll be paraphrased from something a Tory said and I suspect the quotes cover the "paper" from libel since they can then claim it was opinion rather than fact

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

Capitalism is pay to play bitch. Funny how it's harmful when it affects their control but underfunding healthcare isn't.

Daily Fail or Daily Heil, there's no denying that this is one useless rag of a tabloid.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would expect nothing else from the Daily Fail. That paper is a crock of shit.

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the Daily Mail... What were you expecting. Even toilet paper has more worth

Striking doctors...are striking doctors.

Yes, it will harm patients, but when wouldn't it? How exactly do they think strikes work, working anyway and loudly complaining?

And as can brought up, the people not meeting the demands should be falling under the same scrutiny. It could be ended by either side.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's like every other instance of people demanding better pay the bosses always blame the workers.

Although in this case the bosses agree with the workers, it's the utter idiots we have in government that are blame.

I wonder if putting "harming" in scarequotes is their way of saying "We're not saying that!"

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)
