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.
I’m interested, but how do we get our mates from Eton to profit from this?
Anyone taking the Daily Mail as a serious news outlet is a lost cause anyway.
Their whole business model is to generate outrage through sensationalism.
We call it trolling and clickbait on the internet, apparently some media outlets call this a business strategy.
I mean, to be fair, it’s also a business strategy on the Internet.
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.
Yep, the Daily Fail. Fucking Murdoch rag.
It’s owned by Viscount Rothermere, another ultra rich wealth-hoarding media mogul.
So it’s the Fox News of Britain?
GB News and Talk TV are the Fox News of Britain.
I’d say the Daily Mail are more like an amalgamation of Breitbart and TMZ.
Daily Hate Mail
for an expensive toilet paper brand, even they try to save on manufacturing costs
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.”
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
Dude isn’t this “mildly infuriating”. The daily mail is designed to piss people off, feels more than “mildly” infuriating lol
!deliberatelyinfuriating?
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)
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
It’s not left vs right it’s wealthy vs everyone else
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.
There’s a very high level of support for NHS strikes, around 2:1 for vs against. Mebbe cast aspersions on those with the power to resolve them, not the people the Daily Mail will never give a platform to.
Is that 2 thirds getting off the couch and doing anything? Interesting that the western world can sanction countries under the logic that people can pressure the governments. But when it’s time for pressuring their own, well… suddenly it’s time to get indignant about casting aspersions. At least the French riot. Maybe the UK is waiting for another bus to tell them what to believe.
You’re calling yourself comrade but you think it’s all about individual actions and nothing to do with power?
Fuck knows what sanctions have to do with it. Since when did ordinary people get to decide when and where sanctions are applied?
Empty posturing, finger-wagging, sneering. Great tools for building solidarity ‘comrade’.
Solidarity is when no one does collective action and just blames the media.
If you cannot be arsed to think about how power works, there is no helping you.
Still, at least France will get its revolution. All those people out on the streets, it’s inevitable, right? So easy, the whole world would be a socialist paradise if only people weren’t so stupid and lazy and too busy keeping a roof over their heads to be more like your saintly self.
your saintly self.
You hopped up on the high horse first my friend.
I was originally making a contrary joke in response to the headline. With a bit of a message tacked on about supporting strikers, semi in response to entitled behavior I’ve directly seen by people on the Canadian side of things. With a bit of natural disdain for the British thrown in of course.
Now it’s true I’ve been a bit of a dick but you’re in the mud with me too lmao.
there is no helping you.
And what was it you said?
Great tools for building solidarity
Anyway I’m not sure we’re really on separate sides here, so much as just being nasty at this point. So peace.
I would expect nothing else from the Daily Fail. That paper is a crock of shit.
Toilet paper is better, right?
It makes you feel rich (and stupid) just like the elite
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.
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.
