as a resident of an EU country, i do not understand the problem.
it was written in big letters on that red bus.
just pay the nurses the 350 million pounds you saved every week by leaving.... /s
too soon?
I believe the NHS workers are telling the truth about their wages not keeping up with inflation, especially with the 10% increase of inflation. They are being asked to work harder than ever. >

Thier nurses have always been vastly underpaid too.  You could often make the same edge it better working in a grocery store >

That's a shame because they are responsible for saving lives. My neighbor was critically ill here in the US and the male nurse he had didn't leave his room almost the whole day, 12 hours. >

A lot of nurses here are vastly underpaid for the worker do too.  We're talking 12/hr range >

Good for them. Clapping at the door doesn't feed or house your family. Pay the bloody nurses! >

When government ignore people's need strike is their only option. >

Well, it’s certainly their most reasonable option >

Why must billionaires' profits go up infinitely while everyone else's standard of living plummet to compensate? When do get off this death spiral economic design that ends with everyone being a slave?
It is billions of people or the billionaires. Their are not enough reasources for both.
All that needs to happen is organization. If everyone just took a single day of the year to work on progressing society instead of playing games, watching TV or tiktok that day, we'd have 20 hour work weeks by now.
Almost all slavery is just to feed the profit margins of our invisible masters, and most of the world is their cattle.
Wake up folks. >

The top 1% are now getting 63% of all new wealth created up from 54% in the last decade. While most of us lost money during the pandemic, the super-rich accelerated their rate of getting ahead. >

I'm fairly sure all of us here are in the top 1% worldwide.
Most of the worlds population is extremely poor.
Edit:
To be in top 1% in the world you need to make 34 000 usd a year.
Median income of world is 1 225 usd a year >

1% worldwide is a different figure from the 1% inside a country like the UK. >

Yes, but I have no idea whether the statistic he mentioned meant UK or the world. >

He literally said: "While most of us lost money during the pandemic".
That should be plenty to go about. >

But we banged those pots and pans.. >

So those nurses need to shut up now and get back to work! We showed our support! Now I need to get back to reading the Sun and voting for the next Eton graduate.. >

What happens now? >

The state will try to break or wait out the strike. Either the strike breaks and fails or the government is forced to put more money into the system. >

Brexit has been terrible for the UK.
And the only people who seem to be shocked are the Brexiters. >

Infuriating that most of them won't be around to suffer the long term consequences of their vote. I wonder what percent are already dead? Pretty weak. >

They'd hang around longer if they hadn't managed to crater the NHS so badly. >

Looking at most of the older Brits I see on holiday in other countries I would honestly doubt that even. I haven't seen such grossly overweight and generally unhealthy looking people since I left the USA. What are they feeding these people? >

Macca's and Vindaloos. >

The big red buss was a lie >

It’s hilarious how the conservatives mobilised the public into “coming out for the NHS” and giving them all rounds of applauds during covid, but now when they are done dying and breaking themselves over and over, there sure as hell won’t be any money for them. 
And the people fall for it like clockwork. >

What were going to be the upsides of BREXIT again? Weren’t they going to save their NHS? >

That’s the remoaners fault though, nothing to see here >

'Largest strike in (the) history of Britain's health service' for NOW.
Good. Very good. >

Plus, in America at least, Nurses are being asked to do more and more and Doctors less and less, because they'd rather pay nurse rates.
Additionally we've got Nurse Practitioners and Assistant Doctors and all kinds of things that don't require MDs anymore. >

Nurses are so hit and miss.
If you go to the doctor's and know what you want and you see a nurse. If she agrees you're good. If you don't agree, you see a doctor and he normally says the nurse is wrong.
I really don't trust nurses to diagnose anything I can't.
