BBC News - Junior doctors in England start five-day strike
Thousands of operations and appointments cancelled as junior doctors in England begin a five-day walkout.
As someone who works for the NHS this should come as no surprise.
Ever since the pathetic pay rise offered to nurses after all their work during the pandemic there has been nothing but contempt shown towards people who actually work at the coal face of the health system, and by extension the patients who have to use the system which is stretched to breaking point.
As a society we should be asking ourselves why it's acceptable for public sector workers such as nurses, Doctors, teachers, firefighters etc to be expected to work longer hours (often outside of their contracted hours) for less money than in the private sector.
Junior and senior doctors are leaving the country and both parties have awful "plans" for the future of the NHS.
In a friend's daughter's med school class half the students are studying for the US medical exams.
Coming from an NHS doctor, it's fucked.
We really need an election, but we have stubborn sitting tenants in Downing St, who have no where else to go.
8 months before the election, prepare to see the right wing media gear into action and spread lies about everyone except the Tories, and the 20 point leaf labour had will likely disappear, and I would be surprised if the Tories get back in again.
However, rishi sunak seems to be a candidate that even the Tories hate, perhaps because he's not white and richer and more succe6and powerful than the average Tory voter- at least they found something in common with the Clown - an idiot who "you could have a pint with".
God, tory voters are pathetic.

If medical students don't even believe in the NHS then that's really sad to hear. I can't see it surviving in it's current form.
