“We can’t afford to not give nurses a real terms pay cut, there is no money”

When have you ever seen a tory properly care about people dying? They don’t.
This is simply a game to them, you strike and it inconveniences others and they use the inconveniences and outrages at that to pass anti strike legislation and get more polling. If they cared about people dying they wouldn’t have neglected every office in the country for 12 years.
There’s literally no good reason for them not to do this. They’re not even pretending to care anymore
When the few have more than they need, the rest of us suffer
>Ministers ‘dangerous and irresponsible’
Headline could’ve easily stopped there, tbh. At this point, I think Stockholm syndrome should be renamed to Westminster syndrome. The fact that they can’t count their voters on one hand after 12 years of this shite is enough to kill off my faith in British democracy several times over.
Are you sure they need more money? Maybe we could just clap for them again. Clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap. /s
Own this shit each and every tory voter, this is your fault!!
This coterie of gangsters have been waging war on the general population since 2010.
The literally said they’d call off the strike if the health minister just met with them. That’s all, just engage with them. Anyone stupid enough to think the government are dealing with strikes in good faith need to take a long hard look at themselves.
My biggest problem with us is the excuses we make for these monsters. We get so caught up in the nitty gritty pointless details. The bigger picture is always lost and the speed of the media distractions makes sure it’s always forgotten. Those who want better are held to purity standards and those who cause harm are never publically challenged. We should have been rattling the gates to number 10, 2 years ago. Or a general strike should have happened by now.
Of course people may die.
But that is a sacrifice, they are willing to make.
Well the fallout would be great for “their” privatisation agenda, anti-strike agenda… The list goes on.
Whatever you believe their incentives/goals are, their actions will always speak more than they say.
The Tories WANT people to die so they can blame the deaths on striking workers to justify anti strike laws. Then with no right to strike, no right to protest, and no courts to appeal to, they can force workers into something little better than slavery.
Things are getting terrifying. Something drastic need to change.
They’re Tories. People only matter if they are donors or lining Tory pockets.
The idea that vast swathes of the population are yet to work this out is unfathomable.
As far as Tories are concerned, they want the strikes to go on because it’ll demonstrate how the NHS is broken and give them the perfect excuse to scrap the NHS altogether so we can all move to an American style healthcare system.
Why would ministers care about people dying when there are 40k a year coming to replace them?
As it happens, I was in the line for A&E for ten hours last night. Surrounded by other people some who had been there longer than me, some in severe pain. One woman sitting in a wheelchair was in tears because her pain meds had run out and she couldn’t be prescribed a stronger dose in the waiting room without seeing a doctor (which is what she was waiting for in the first place). Nurse gave her two paracetamol and said that’s the best she could do. There were elderly and disabled people waiting there, in a room with insufficient chairs and no heating.
The situation is already such that people will die. Google ‘dies waiting for a&e’ and you will see story after story of it already happening. Twelve hour waits for “”emergency”” care.
Because hospitals are drastically underfunded and understaffed. And they’ll be more and more understaffed as the Government fails to pay them a fair wage, because nurses will leave or students will just never go into nursing because its not liveable.
Our health service is already like something out of a third world country. Yesterday honestly scared me so much, because it made me realise, you think before something bad happens to you that ‘the NHS is there’ and an emergency worker will turn up and get you to the hospital. That’s how it’s meant to work, right? Well that’s not the case. You sit in a room, and you’re on your own, and you just have to hope you don’t die in the next half day. Most you’ll get is a paracetamol. How is this a first world country?? It’s absolutely mental.
Well don’t strike then, why are you putting peoples lives at risk?
This government is a circus. Engaging is the most basic level of activity that could lead to a resolution to this dispute. They’re totally shirking their responsibility. Of course that seems to be what Tories do whenever lives are on the line. We really need a GE to get rid of this government once and for all. It’s not like they even have any support any more. Would the last clowns in the big top supporting this government please put away the pies?
Ministers ‘dangerous and irresponsible’.
That’s all you need to describe majority of Govt activities/ inactivity across the board since start of 2020….
I hate what is happening to this country, fucking tories, can we riot or something
That is entirely the point. So the gov can point at the Nurses and the Union and go “LOOK HOW EVIL THEY ARE FOR REFUSING TO WORK”.
Not because they refused to simply talk to the strikers.
At least the headline is framing the problem correctly. No doubt many other papers are blaming the nurses.
“Give me more money now or people will die”
If there was any justice in this world, frontline medical staff would be forbidden from striking, not unlike the police and army.
