Don’t do anything risky, warns minister, as strikes hit NHS

  1. Bit rich, as opposed to “Don’t do anything dangerous like underfund the NHS for a decade so that the very people who make up the fabric of the service walk off the job”.

  2. “Don’t get sick or injured, (we’ve run healthcare into the ground)” yeah completely normal thing for a government to say. Coming soon, Don’t become poor or disabled, and Don’t get cold or hungry.

    From the people who brought you Clapping = Sufficient Reward.

  3. This is the kind of nasty, underhand, buck-passing skullduggery that is this government’s only move, ever. Don’t try and fix a problem, don’t accept responsibility, just punch blindly downwards and hope the right wing press will buoy you up for long enough that some dumb luck falls your way and keeps you in power.

  4. Don’t get injured guys but you should be alright when the strikes are over, try and hold out until then

  5. If you can’t access a service today, remember this is a choice the UK government is making. They prefer strikes to even talking about the possibility of a deal.

  6. Apart from getting a flu jab, there is little people can really do. Is he expecting elderly people to remain indoors all winter to reduce their risk of a fall? You cannot put off heart attacks either, not unless you go back in time and start living a healthier lifestyle thirty years ago. We are here now and will have to live with the chaos caused by the government spending twelve years eroding the NHS’s ability to cope with a normal workload, let alone a pandemic and the post-pandemic recovery.
