Dude isn’t this “mildly infuriating”. The daily mail is designed to piss people off, feels more than “mildly” infuriating lol
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)
They got their claps, what else do they want?
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?
Wasn’t Brexit supposed to save them money so they can pour it back into the NHS?
Ah yes, another lie from the brexiteer brigade which is a gift for future generations to live with.
Yeah, right.
Our GDP per capita is now lower than Lithuania, just another brexit benefit.
Lithuania GDP Per Capita: $28,094
UK GDP Per Capita: $46,371
Brexit (and moreso post-GFC austerity) have been actions of brain-dead economic self-harm, but I don’t know where you got your numbers from here. Even PPP adjusted the UK is ahead.
It was from this, a clip from BBC Question Time I confess I did not fact-check it myself, I allowed myself to believe that a peer and former tory minister would quote correct figures.
You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. If you think that life is bad in the UK, you’d die from starvation in Lithuania.
Lithuania is actually doing pretty fine for itself. Haven’t heard of any people starving to death there. Might drop some sources for that?
Numbeo.com for numbers, personal experience as well. Lithuania might be doing ok, but it’s nowhere near how good the UK is doing. Thus anyone struggling in the UK would be dead in Lithuania.
Oh alright. I misunderstood your comment then. Yes, I agree with you.
Why is written ‘harming’ in single quotes? Is this some opinion that someone has had that they are publishing as fact?
The government is just holding out in the hope that public opinion on the strikes turns on their favour or that the nurses run out of savings to keep striking.
In my opinion I think quotes in general should be banned from being headlines. It’s been abused as a tactic for making inflammatory headlines with little factual basis under the technicality it just being the words of someone else.
Couldn’t agree more, you see it used a lot to punt far-right & clickbaity nonsense
Banned by who?
It’ll be paraphrased from something a Tory said and I suspect the quotes cover the “paper” from libel since they can then claim it was opinion rather than fact
Yes, the health secretary, it literally says so in the headline.
I read a while back that it’s to insulate the paper from any potential defamation lawsuits, the quotes are there to ensure the difference between “we believe the strikes are harming patients also this person says they must stop” and “this person believes the strikes are harming patients and also says they must stop”
It’s actually very common practice in the UK, most headlines make use of quotations to endorse a position by means of quoting an opinion and providing context to that opinion.
In this specific case it is of course bullshit, the language of the headline is deliberately worded to incite anger against the healthcare professionals and the quotes are added to preserve the emotive qualities of the headline when read by the layperson while insulating the paper from legal risk.
Yeah it’s in the first line of the article under the headline.
Obligatory
Fuck the Daily Mail.
And The Sun along with them.
Absolute fucking rags that I wouldn’t wipe my ass with.
Written by, and for, cunts.
I feel the author also deserves some credit. So: Fuck Steve Barclay.
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.

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.
for an expensive toilet paper brand, even they try to save on manufacturing costs
Daily Hate Mail
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).
But didn’t you hear? Nobody wants to work!!!(for slave wages and predatory insurance plans)
From the paper that brought you: “Hurrah for the Blackshirts” an editorial from 1934 reporting on Hitlers blackshirts, by the then editor Viscount Rothermere who’s son the current Viscount Rothermere still owns it… same shite different arsehole…
Capitalism is pay to play bitch. Funny how it’s harmful when it affects their control but underfunding healthcare isn’t.
There’s nothing capitalist about the situation.
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
Daily Fail or Daily Heil, there’s no denying that this is one useless rag of a tabloid.
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.
