@annishilcock4587 He could have donated some of his own money to the NHS if he felt that strongly - did he contribute a single penny to the cause he was walking for did he just rely on the mugs who did?
32
@ClearLight1967 NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
23
@malcolmbird1933 He was an integral part of ‘that corrupt disgusting family’.
23
Restrict the payment to basic rate taxpayers. Cancel the payment for higher rate taxpayers.
21
Neither do doctors.
19
Same here - there are 76 seats in my local surgery and only 4 were occupied after waiting 3 weeks to see a salaried GP.
16
@leanatale7251 Like father, like daughter. They are cut from the same cloth.
16
Not to mention social housing.
13
@TomHart-m9n The money we are being taxed on IS SPENT ON THE NHS on inflated pay rises for doctors and consultants.
12
@OldGreyMulletTest The rich look after themselves and do not donate to charity.
12
Home is where the heart is. Britain is where the benefits are.
11
He wanted to raise money for his family.
11
@akhan1892 They have been made easier in order to allow people of lower academic ability to pass.
10
JAMES 0’BRIEN = REJOINIAC
10
@PeerAdder French, Spanish and Italian doctors among others provide a superior service to their patients but are paid considerably less than their entitled NHS counterparts.
10
@dianerogers8805 Thatcher put rich people first.
10
So have junior doctors and consultants.
9
Deliveroo were making TV commercials imploring people to donate to provide “hot nutritious meals for the NHS” in full PPE on six figure salaries while care home staff with no PPE working for peanuts were ignored.

@roryokane5907 NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
9
Medical degrees have been dumbed down so it doesn’t matter.
8
Doctors are among the top 1% highest “earners”.
8
@daviddowns8068 Yes - but not when they weren’t.
8
@bestbehave Tom was as bent as a £15 note.
8
Frontline staff in the NHS are already among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. Why should their pay be increased?
8
@michaelgriffiths5723 con gullible Britons.
8
They hate woke virtue signallers.
6
@lehelisbored Senior medics have commented on YouTube that the bar has been lowered over the past 30+ years in a drive to increase the number of homegrown British doctors and the new breed would never have got into medical school in their day. “A-levels” have been simplified and soft subjects become permissible to allow less academic students to study medicine. It follows that the MB ChB degree course will have been dumbed down accordingly to enable them to pass.
6
@davidcolin6519 I do know how much doctors are paid in the rest of Europe and NHS salaries are among the highest when adjusted for the cost of living.
6
@proudman6598 The Captain was a willing accomplice.
6
If they are paid more they can work the same hours without feeling “burnt out”.
6
They’ve gone woke.
6
@KirstyTheobald They are coming here for the benefits.
6
@drummingtildeath Only people who lack common sense think it’s safe to cross the channel in an inflatable rubber dinghy.
6
WOKE
6
@diasah123 No - they still receive their six figure NHS salaries but spend all their time with private patients for the extra money and neglect their NHS patients.
6
It was on the end of every BBC news bulletin.
6
Doctors are overpaid.
6
@venom10125 NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
6
Money Money Money
6
They do less and less for more and more.
6
You could say the same about the police because there’s basically only ONE law enforcement agency in the UK, and therefore only ONE employer. The difference is that the police are forbidden to strike by law. The privilege of strike action should likewise be removed from doctors.
5
@marystringfellow8185 Thatcher
5
@Gph0367 The NHS is not underfunded or understaffed. It is receiving record amounts of taxpayers cash and employs more doctors now than at any time in its 75 year history.
5
GPs are overpaid.
5
They would have to work if they chose another profession.
5
@brainsandbeauty2832 It’s the doctors fault.
5
@Petejoeoliver Only a handful of the 44 countries in Europe pay doctors more than the UK but NHS doctors provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
5
@Lemontea-y71 People who live in massive houses do not donate to charity - they leave that to the mugs who live in small houses.
5
@dianerogers8805 Working class Tories.
5
For the generous welfare benefits.
5
@layercake404 more like indoctrinated with woke ideologies.
5
@alisattar3635 If the new breed of doctors gave a ** about patient care they wouldn’t be striking.
5
@cromagnumveritas4209 Should be 40 years.
5
mrmeldrew693 They pay a small percentage of their salary into it - taxpayers pay the lion’s share.
5
The lure of British benefits was too much for them.
5
@PandaLuv301 We have more than enough doctors but the ones we have only work 2 or 3 days a week.
5
This guy call himself a doctor? What a shame
4
You have to be clever to work as a banker.
4
@PeerAdder No, I want to be treated by a doctor who knows they’re overpaid.
4
@PassiveAgressive319 NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe.
4
Extortionists.
4
The doctors are not in demand. Other countries can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained professionals which excludes the vast majority of British medics.
4
“Because we are greedy” is the correct answer.
4
@xvi1128 They don’t speak English.
4
@danielcraig4974 He was privy to the plan.
4
@akhan1892 The entry requirements for medical school have been significantly lowered in recent decades.
4
@BillDavies-ej6ye Doctors have received regular annual pay rises.
4
@Valhalla-or8mx If you check statistics you will note the Tories have always sold more social housing than labour..
4
@AllSortsOfStuff58 Resorting to insults because I won the argument.
4
@alisattar3635 Resorting to insults because you lost the argument.
4
@alisattar3635 The cause of extortion?
4
@chrisj9700 Sunak said the 9% increase they received in July in line with the recommendations of the independent pay body was full and final and there would be no more talks no matter how many strikes they called.
4
@BrianWillcox-qp2hr … like the Uber taxi driver who swallowed the BMA propaganda and posted on YouTube that he is paid more than a junior doctor.
4
@lemsip207 The rich buy from charity shops.
4
Doctors are overpaid.
4
Excellent basic hourly rate for a first year medical graduate trainee with limited practical experience taking their first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict guidance and supervision.
4
Another 20% on top of the 22% they got last year.
4
@akhan1892 If the A-level entry requirements for medical school had not been lowered over the past few decades there would be no need for Mickey Mouse aptitude tests because old style A-level maths and/or physics exams would have sorted the sheep from the goats. Older generations of medical students would have walked the UCAT/BMAT but the new breed of spoon fed doctors would struggle to pass proper A-levels in intellectually demanding subjects, let alone get grade As.
3
@Genorgin Everything else has been made easier. GCSEs are watered down “O-levels” to suit the academically challenged. “A-levels” have been simplified beyond recognition. 13 times as many grade As are awarded compared to over 40 years ago. Students are allowed into medical school with “A-levels” in soft subjects. The number of first class degrees has skyrocketed as all must have prizes. It beggars belief that medical degree courses have not likewise been degraded and devalued to allow the new breed of spoon fed students to cope.
3
@Mulberry2000 DDD at A-level when I was at school is the equivalent of AAA at A-level by today’s standards.
3
@Mulberry2000 … in soft subjects.
3
@Mulberry2000 They were right 25 years ago.
3
Doctors are underworked and overpaid.
3
@roryokane5907 Doctors continued to receive regular annual pay rises between 2010 and 2024.
3
The sheeple believe they are swindled saints.
3
@dundergud9341 Junior doctors have limited medical knowledge and little practical experience - the nurses have to teach them the basics.
3
@dundergud9341 Nurses know more than junior doctors.
3
@dww6 We train far too many doctors which has resulted in lower standards. The pay is one of the highest in Europe.
3
@ woke twaddle
3
@factsofmotivationofficial Australia can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained doctors which excludes the vast majority of British medics.
3
@craiglakin-ck5ow 35% is not a little.
3
@PassiveAgressive319 possibly because among other things their basic medical errors result in over 12,000 avoidable patient deaths every year in NHS hospitals.
3
Highly educated Singaporean doctors working in the UK were reportedly aghast at the lack of medical knowledge and poor levels of understanding evident in the new breed of British medics.
3
@anne-mariemarshall Doctors are overpaid.
3
The army and police are forbidden to strike.
3
They warned Streeting they would be back for more next year but he let them have the 22% without any conditions.
3
@TheMoo1995 American doctors have to work for their money.
3
@diasah123 The new breed of British doctors would be laughed out of the interview.
3
@alanmckay7040 They are too cowardly to fight for their own countries.
3
Doctors are overpaid.
3
41 years after the last junior doctor strike in 1975 the new breed began striking in 2016 and they have now become a regular fixture. Unless the government makes these strikes illegal they will continue indefinitely.
3
@roryokane5907 Inflation is a red herring - no one is entitled to index linked pay rises. NHS doctors are already among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. Your sense of entitlement is breathtaking.
3
Those dumb enough to donate let themselves down.
3
@MrGrantspants My factual reply has been censored.
3
@faithpearlgenied-a5517 Other western European countries provide a better standard of service than the NHS with lower funding. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
3
@diasah123 They are sat at home seeing private patients.
3
@bradr7607 No - don’t!! NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are already getting poor value for money.
3
@TehCoCoMuffinz DDD at A-level when I was at school would be AAA by today’s standards plus soft subjects are now permissible for medical school. If A-levels had not been watered down and only rigorous subjects allowed there would be no need for UCATs.
3
@ffrederickskitty214 You mean the days of high quality education, financial equality and convergent wages.
3
@hayleyxyz Their pay has not been cut.
3
Just the pay.
3
NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe.
3
Paramedics are better trained and educated.
3
The old chap wanted his daughter to have the money.
3
Anyone can be a doctor in dumbed down Britain.
3
NHS staff did not need or deserve it.
3
@Boooyah7 He clearly does.
3
@hayestimmy it should be illegal for doctors to strike.
3
@missb8652 The new breed of entitled doctors and consultants down tools when it suits them.
3
Medical degrees have been dumbed down so it doesn’t matter.
3
@lemsip207 The poor give their unwanted items to charity shops.
3
@roryokane5907 Doctors are overpaid.
3
Doctors are overvalued and overpaid.
3
I read a YouTube post from an uber taxi driver sympathising with them saying it wasn’t fair that he is paid more than a junior doctor.
3
@gdaymates431 You are clearly not up to it.
3
@gdaymates431 Anyone of average intelligence can become a doctor in dumbed down Britain.
3
@reddeviluk Only public sector “workers” receive double digit pay rises.
3
@EppingLad Yes - the NHS already gets more than enough.
3
@dogwalker666 Thatcher, Thatcher, Council House Snatcher
3
@BillDavies-ej6ye Only a small percentage are leaving.
3
@7ookee A junior doctor is a medical graduate trainee with limited practical experience taking his/her first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict supervision and guidance.
3
They are only worried about their pay.
3
The graph in the Guardian is BMA propaganda designed to mislead the economically illiterate. NHS doctors have received generous annual pay rises over the past 17 years. They remain among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
3
@geemula3652 Should the person taking your life be paid less than that?
3
@Pp-l6p Cameron abolished the PCTs and gave GPs control of the budget which incentivised them not to refer patients who were seriously ill as any money saved at the end of the year could be transferred into their personal private bank accounts.
3
@McKluskie Since Covid doctors tend to work three day weeks.
3
@BenGuardian All the surgery waiting rooms are empty.
3
NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe.
3
@jamessharpe2625 It should do.
2
Don’t have more than two kids. Problem solved.
2
@Yorky1066 A lot of people commenting on these threads seem to believe the new breed of poorly educated, badly trained, incompetent British doctors are swindled saints while the ignorant doctors who comment here treat anyone who calls out their lies with contempt.
2
@Art-is-craft Full connection.
2
They are overpaid.
2
@Fatboyslim-p3i The buck stops with Thatcher.
2
BS
2
They are junior.
2
Foreign doctors are more highly educated and better trained.
2
@markwelch3564 I suspect most foreign doctors would give their eye teeth for NHS wages and conditions - very few European countries pay more.
2
They wanted the pensioners money to pay the junior doctors.
2
… and should not be allowed to use NHS facilities.
2
Or the clinical negligence of poorly educated, badly trained, incompetent British medics.
2
@dundergud9341 They are medical graduate trainees.
2
@dundergud9341 A doctor is fit to practice. Medical graduates have limited practical experience and are taking their first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict guidance and supervision.
2
But it’s okay if it kills people?
2
Never in a million years.
2
Yes - the Captain clearly stated so in his prologue.
2
@TifBo no doctors and consultants are.
2
@captainchuppachup The point is it costs taxpayers the same amount to “educate” and “train” a part time GP as it does a full time GP - when logic and reason are applied it follows that part time GPs are poor value for money.
2
@Petejoeoliver There was an article on the BBC News website during the last doctors strikes which included data from the OECD/Nuffield Trust showing how consultants salaries vary across Europe which were adjusted to reflect the cost of living in each country.
2
Doctors are.
2
@factsofmotivationofficial 40 years ago people in these professions earned respect and were nowhere near as highly paid as the new entitled breed.
2
Teachers should strike for a 20% pay rise.

2
NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
2
@ColaScan The selection process for medicine ceased to be highly competitive over 30 years ago. These days anyone of slightly above average academic ability in Britain can become a doctor.
2
@berniethekiwidragon4382 Junior doctors have never had it so easy - before Blair they worked 100 hours per week for half the pay they get now but they never went on strike.
2
@roryokane5907 Their predecessors in 2008 were paid less.
2
@chatham43 ….what’s wrong with 0%…?
2
They’ve already had 22%.
2
@ankitm3439 All cut from the same cloth. The captain was party to the plan.

The nurses who spent their working hours dancing for Tik Tok videos.
2
The NHS gets more than enough.
2
@kaspian6044 The new breed of British doctors are dense.
2
@aarahsamuel6980 Making TikTok videos on the wards is ‘wonderful work’?
2
@diasah123 As long as the patients are registered with the practice there is no obligation for the GP to see them.
2
@mikamiks2475 40 years ago around 10-12% of 18 year olds could manage traditional rigorous, challenging A-levels. Nowadays over 50% of 18 year olds can manage modern, simplified, watered down “A-levels”.
2
@alanbeaumont4848 educated in woke “universities”.
2
@ozzie2612 They deserve less money.
2
@IMBlakeley their pay has not been cut.
2
@solentforest inflation is irrelevant.
2
@solentforest You think the average wage in the 1950s was over £700 a week?
2
@reardelt The entry requirements for medicine have been lowered for at least 24 years that I am aware of - possibly much longer.
2
@Torstenn-b3x Of the 44 countries in Europe I believe the UK is one of just seven that pays doctors six figure salaries. France, Spain and Italy all pay their medics less than the NHS but their patients all receive a superior level of service than that provided to British taxpayers.
2
It’s what her father wanted.
2
@SigmundJaehn Doctors have not suffered any real terms pay cuts.
2
The 30% pay demand is patently absurd.
2
Only the rich strike - the poor can’t afford to.
2
@GeorgeOhYesPlease Aye doctors are that.
2
@lynnd.5135 The entry requirements for medical school have been significantly lowered in recent decades. Anyone of average intelligence can become a doctor in dumbed down Britain.
2
@AtifKhan-ir7oe That would also explain why the Tories have never made it illegal for doctors to strike.
2
Doctors are overpaid.
2
Doctors pay has not been cut.
2
Plus their state pension.
2
@TheJankerchief Imagine overpaid doctors striking over Christmas and New Year putting the lives of vulnerable and elderly patients at risk in a cynical attempt to try and extort more money from long suffering British taxpayers. What a mean spirited little life to lead.
2
@Bringon-dw8dx The government honoured the recommendations of the independent pay review body in full.
2
@Bringon-dw8dx Doctors pay has not been cut over the past 15 years.

@neilcampbell1763 Other countries can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained, competent doctors which excludes the vast majority of British medics.
2
Doctors pay has increased - it has not been cut.
2
@mikkam9375 The vast majority of British doctors currently working in the NHS only got in because the bar was lowered to enable people of lower intelligence to study medicine.
2
@dougiefraser2432 Resorting to insults when you lose the argument.

2
@blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 The government needs to give doctors a reality check by banning them from striking.

Did a single penny of that £40 million come from his own personal wealth?
2
@Jyiy686 I think you’ll find plumbers/shopkeepers didn’t hold the country to ransom last year for a 22% pay rise.
2
14 pounds an hour and the rest.
2
Maybe reducing consultants pay would help to balance the books…
2
@ImloyaltoScotlandonly Taxpayers foot the bill for their tuition and training.

OH YES THEY WOULD !!!

1
@ Junior doctors are overpaid.

@zigowl1193 My IQ is higher than the new breed of dumbed down NHS doctors.
1
The doctors have nowhere else to go.
1
It is about Sir Virtue Signaller.
1
It is the truth.
1
@PaulK-ve1pu Where did I suggest they should never receive another pay rise ever again? As NHS productivity had gone down it is the doctors who want something for nothing.
1
@jamesbowskill362 Junior doctors got more than train drivers.
1
Then the whole country should go on strike demanding a 40% pay rise.
1
@christopherwilliams6848 They do it for the money - not because they are altruists.
1
@christopherwilliams6848 Yet there is no shortage of people wanting to become doctors. Every place in whatever passes for medical school these days is oversubscribed seven times over.
1
@christopherwilliams6848 1) Anyone of average intelligence can become a doctor in dumbed down Britain. 2) The number of places for medical students at whatever passes for “university” these days has massively increased.

Quite right too.

1
No - privatise and get sacked for poor performance.
1
Overstaffed
1
@zoedaisy1499 their salaries would be slashed.
1
@JayCaptain-x1d … because the NHS set the salaries at fixed rates - if it was opened up to competition doctors from the other 189 countries in the world who earn less than British doctors would be free to come to the UK and undercut the wages of the overpaid overvalued indigenous medics.
1
Doctors are overpaid.
1
@specto1 Less than at present.

If Farage gets in overpaid NHS doctors and consultants can look forward to a 3 year income tax holiday.

@zest7812 NHS doctors have received regular annual pay rises over the past 17 years and their high salaries cushion them from the effects of inflation.

@THECALLOF241 CORRECTION: they don’t care about the sick - they only care about themselves.
1
@THECALLOF241 “education” in Britain in recent decades had been systematically dumbed down and degraded beyond belief to enable anyone of average intelligence to get into medical school - the majority of doctors these days are not clever enough to fill any role such as banking that is potentially more lucrative than medicine although current NHS salaries and conditions are extremely generous and higher than virtually every other country in Europe. If they cared about patients rather than themselves they would not be going on strike. Most comments on YouTube from the new breed of entitled junior medics confirms this.
1
@THECALLOF241 it has always taken 10 years to reach consultant level and previous generations of junior doctors were paid far less than the new entitled breed for doing 100 hours or more a week - junior doctors have never had it so easy.

They have never had it so easy.
1
The dumbed down doctor has no idea what she is talking about.
1
Instead doctors have been offered 4% of their inflated salaries while nurses have been offered 3.6% of their significantly smaller salaries.
1
Doctors are underworked and overpaid.
1
What about all the taxpayers money used to train her?
1
IT DOESN’T
1
They know how to back down and capitulate to unions.
1
Doctors get paid a lot more than £14 an hour which explains why 7 applicants apply for every place at British medical school.

Junior doctors are overpaid.

BMA gaslighting
1
@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 They haven’t lost anything over time - their pay has increased.
1
@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 Doctors and consultants pay has increased over time.
1
@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 The BMA claim that doctors have had a 30% pay cut does not stand up to scrutiny.
1
@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 No - explaining to the new breed of innumerate and economically illiterate doctors why their claim doesn’t stack up ought to lead to them accepting the extremely generous pay offer on the table which is more than double the percentage accepted by nurses and paramedics.
1
13 years of pay rises. No restoration required.

@ilikelampshades6 No one is entitled to inflation linked pay rises at any time, let alone during a period of economic hardship.

@Bringon-dw8dx Senior doctors in the NHS are among the highest paid in Europe. Any perceived real terms pay cuts over the last 15 years are cancelled out by the excessive pay rises they received from New Labour over the previous 4 years which the Commons Public Accounts Committee denounced as ‘hopelessly unrealistic’.
1
That is LBC’s business.
1
NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.

@mypointofview1111 In what universe would highly paid NHS doctors be struggling to pay their monthly outgoings?
1
@greeksalad1 It costs the taxpayer £37,000 per year to train a doctor in the UK.
1
@greeksalad1 … under strict guidance and supervision as trainees are not fit to practice independently.
1
@ColaScan Doctors should have to work for the NHS for a minimum 10 years to pay back some of the money which the taxpayer invested in them and bring them into line with the private sector.
1
@BeGracious-y1e When taxpayers fund the cost of a doctor’s tuition and training that is socialised medicine and we expect a return on our investment - in a free market the doctor would meet the full cost of his tuition and training. The new breed of entitled British medics expect to have their cake and eat it.
1
@BeGracious-y1e The NHS is an example of ‘socialised medicine’ in which taxpayers foot the bill for doctors tuition, training plus pensions and bankroll the legal bills and compensation payouts for their clinical negligence. The USA is an ‘open market’ in which doctors foot the bill for their own tuition and training, make their own private pension provision and have to take out expensive professional liability insurance.
1
@mk-ld8ih Doctors have never had it so easy.
1
The sheeple believe that doctors are swindled saints.

We train far too many doctors.

@roryokane5907 Doctors pay would need to be cut to restore it to 2008 levels.

@Ravi-hy4qh £15 an hour is an excellent basic hourly rate for a first year medical graduate trainee with limited practical experience taking their first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict supervision and guidance. The average basic annual salary of a junior doctor is £55,000. Personally I wouldn’t downplay the important work of a fully qualified HGV driver.

@PaulK-ve1pu Highly educated, properly trained Singaporean doctors working in the UK were reportedly aghast at the lack of medical knowledge and poor levels of understanding evident in the new breed of dumbed down British medics.
1
@PaulK-ve1pu A senior medic confirmed that the calibre of student coming through whatever passes for “medical school” these days has been steadily eroded over the past few decades as the entry requirements have been systematically lowered by successive governments in an attempt to boost the number of homegrown medics. Anyone of average intelligence can become a doctor in dumbed down Britain.

The BMA would never have agreed to a 5 year no strike clause. Starmer and Streeting were desperate to prove they could settle with the junior doctors after the Tories had failed to stop the strikes. The union warned Labour there would be “consequences” if junior doctors did not continue to receive above inflation increases although I don’t know if any figures were agreed at that time.

@UnmaskedSociety The Blair government reduced junior doctors contracted hours from 100 to just 48 over 20 years ago so I don’t know where you got the 90 hours a week from. The average basic annual salary of a junior doctor is £55k - are PAs on £71,500 a year? Other countries can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained doctors which excludes the vast majority of British medics and could explain why only a small percentage (< 5%) are leaving the UK to work abroad.

@Anduz001 “pay restoration” is a misnomer as doctors pay has not been cut. Inflation is a red herring and “real terms pay cuts” are superficial. They are asking for a 29% wage rise on top of the 22% they got last year.

@Alex-cw3rz Doctors have received a real terms pay rise ever year since 2004.
1
@Alex-cw3rz Doctors received huge inflation busting pay rises from New Labour between 2004 and 2008 which the Commons Public Accounts Committee later denounced as ‘hopelessly unrealistic’ and when compounded more than compensate for any perceived “real terms pay cuts” between 2008 and 2022. Furthermore the alleged 30% real terms pay cut cited in your post is based on the discredited Retail Price Index measure of inflation and is therefore inaccurate and misleading. When the correct Consumer Prices Index is invoked the 30% figure reduces significantly.
1
They lack the qualifications to do anything better.
1
@Lynnpjjbdndji Not the government’s own figures - the BMA’s own misleading figures specially fabricated using the discredited Retail Price Index measure of inflation to gaslight gullible members of the public such as yourself who are naive, trusting and economically illiterate.

Only highly educated, properly trained foreign doctors have real medical knowledge and competence.

1
@NeilCWCampbell because percentage pay rises are unfair and inequitable.
1
@NeilCWCampbell it appears you do not understand the cumulative effect of index linked/percentage pay rises.
1
@NeilCWCampbell It’s simple arithmetic. 10% of £100k is £10,000. 10% of £20k is £2,000. QED
1
@NeilCWCampbell my point is that the cumulative effect of highly paid people receiving a pay rise say 5 times greater than relatively low paid workers based on the same percentage pay rise which has been the case for over 40 years at least is probably the main driver of the growing wealth inequality in this country and the fact the rich tend to receive higher percentages than the low paid only serves to exacerbate the problem.
1
They were all in it together - Saint Tom included.

I think you‘ll find a 35% rise for the average junior doctor is rather more than that. You are clearly brainwashed by the BMA propaganda. FYI the £14 an hour only applied to first year medical graduate trainees who are starting to learn the trade under strict supervision and are not fit to practice on their own.

Stopping MPs £3,500 annual fuel allowance is a difficult decision. Stopping the £300 WFA for vulnerable pensioners who can’t strike is an easy decision. Would Thatcher like Reeves have capitulated to striking junior doctors handing them a 22.3% pay rise backdated for 18 months?

It should be illegal for doctors to go on strike.

There is no shortage - the NHS employs more doctors now than at any other time in its 75 year history.
