Typical busy time
to punish everyone.


To start 7AM
Jr. Doctors, will walk out from Weds 17 to 22 December.




[It comes after a five-day walkout last month.

[Dr Jack Fletcher, chair of the BMA's resident
doctors committee (RDC), said:
"With the government failing to put forward
a credible plan to fix the jobs crisis for
resident doctors at the same time as pushing
a real terms pay cut for them,
we have no choice but to announce
more strike dates.

"However, these do not need to go ahead.
Gradually raising pay over a few years
and some common-sense fixes
to the job security of our doctors are well within
the reach of this government.]

No, they are needed.

They now have the new plan from the Health Secretary
but it has no pay increase.



The Striking Doctor (Dr Jack Fletcher, British Medical Association)
he is wasting time by stretching over the weekend
just to say No

He spoke on BBC2 Politics Live today.

[Livia]

I think all the strikers are in the wrong job.

Resident Doctors still have my solid support.

I hoped they'd get much better from Labour, in my view they should have had better and so far, it's not been the case.

They were atrociously badly treated by the last shower in government.
They should be respected more by this government.

Sky News Text :
[Doctors’ strikes could cause the NHS to collapse
over Christmas as a "tidal wave of flu tears through
our hospitals", health secretary
Wes Streeting has warned.]

[arista]

The Jr. Doctors have rejected the new
Government deal.


The Strike is to start in two days

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Greedy and out of touch with the Great British public

[Cherry Christmas]

They have lost public support now, the NHS is supposed to be overwhelmed with flu cases but they are happy to let their colleagues pick up the slack, shame on them I wouldn't want to be treated by one of these shameless pricks, they could have delayed given the stress on the NHS but no.... I do agree with some of their claims like but this is not right

But Joey
They are demanding 26%
2nd Pay Increase.


No Government can afford that amount?

Be fair

I am fair.

They know they'll not get anywhere near 26% again but the problems are not just pay there's other issues too.
I'd like to see some fairness towards the Resident Doctors, who along with their other colleagues but also in a great part themselves are saving lives hour by hour day by day.

They deserve far better than they've had since 2007 onwards.
So my support stays solid for them.
However this strike at this time, is certainly going to lose them public support and sympathy.
That's the risk that is taken when any workforce takes strike action.
It doesn't mean their grievances are not justified not that the action is wrong.

It is likely the BMA are being more difficult admittedly too but Labour should nevertheless be going all out to protect the NHS, all the Doctors and Nurses and other workers in the NHS too.
It's rather despicable of them not to.
ONE really long overdue good pay rise shouldn't mean back to the not even just enough attitude.

OK Joey


But what really Stinks

Dr Jack Fletcher, British Medical Association
will meet Wes Streeting (Secretary of State for Health and Social Care)
Tonight or even tomorrow
for Talks,

But Wes has Refused

[arista]

Refusing to do Talks
is what is wrong with the Labour Party........
