j_jza80 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Now, I'm not a fan of the Guardian at the best of times, as it appeals to bleeding heart ultra liberals, and the quality of the journalism and editorial can be terrible at the best of times, but I still read it to get a balanced view of events (just as I might look on the Sun, Express or Mail occasionally) But their editors have played a blinder today. Reporting on the Junior Doctors strike, I noticed something odd about one of the pictures. They've used a picture from a 28 Days later secret cinema showing to represent the doctors striking http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/26/is-junior-doctors-strike-justified-contract-dispute#comment-73093952 [ATTACH=CONFIG]211357[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Dont believe that the doctors should be allowed to strike - however do agree that negotiations needs to take place. There is no excusing that the NHS needs a major reform (inc - free at point of service) - clearly the status quo is not sustainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 To be fair though, that picture is of junior doctors who were on strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why are the people who strike with regards to pay always in jobs that pay way more than what the average wage is anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the pay. It's about the new contract and the hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yep, know a few who are running in wards that are 15+% understaffed already. The new contract removes a bunch of safeguards around hours in the schedule, so those wards would become 'fully staffed' without having to hire anyone. The cynical view is the whole NHS is being set up to fail, so his mates/private companies can step in and lend a hand. For the public good of course. But thats ok, most people won't realise what happened for a few years, by which time it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
