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

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.

[–] LazyBane@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] chunkyrice@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (9 children)

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

[–] hellequin67@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

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

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)

Obligatory

Fuck the Daily Mail.

And The Sun along with them.

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

Written by, and for, cunts.

I feel the author also deserves some credit. So: Fuck Steve Barclay.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] meldroc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, the Daily Fail. Fucking Murdoch rag.

[–] HellAwaits@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's the Fox News of Britain?

Daily Hate Mail

[–] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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).

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[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."

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

[–] Badgernomics@lemmy.world 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...

[–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] CloudSheep@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Patients are harming striking doctors. If they want to be seen sooner, they could help apply pressure to the government to improve conditions, instead of licking boots and crying about labour action.

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

[–] YaaAsantewaa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 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.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They aren’t idiots as much as they are greedy. They didn’t get into government leadership positions because they want to help people. They do it so they can take advantage of it and make money.

When they fuck up and people suffer, it isn’t an “accident”. It’s design because in the end they are making money off the people paying them off, etc.

Our big mistake is thinking these people are well intentioned, but forgiving their fuck ups because of “incompetence”. No, they are purposefully fucking you over to benefit themselves.

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.

[–] Eavolution@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thatcher outlawed this (surprise, surprise) but thr way Japanese train drivers strike is they run the trains but refuse to collect fairs. That seems like a much better system to me.

I don't know how doctors could do something similar though.

I walked into a doctor's office. The guy referred me to someone by circling a number on a piece of paper then charged my insurance 250.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Either way doctors have insane hours.
