Perhaps they never went away !

Instead of facing up to the mess that the NHS is in, the Tories descend into childish schoolboy behaviour. Yah-boo politics, at its worst.

On the eve of yet another strike by Doctors, shouldn't the PM and his party at least try to act as adults ?

I have to say that I have every sympathy with Mr Cameron and Mr Corbyn and their daily wrangles across the dispatch box. As veterans of heated debate in the News section, we have both observed how easy it is to be drawn into increasingly childish and pointless exchanges with people who are also old enough to know better. Indeed, it is with astonishing ease that...

No he didn't TTT...Dave used this opportunity to revert back to his days in the Bullingdon Club.

Instead of reacting to the ruddy awful state that his Party have got the NHS into, for the last nearly 6 years, he made a cheap jibe.

Perhaps he should stand down and let Mrs Cameron stand in his place...she at least seems to recognise that the Nasty Party is at fault here.

I repeat...Yah-Boo politics at it worst.
DT - I assure you that irony is rarely lost on me - unless of course it is couched in such impenetrable terms as to be invisible!

In that case, I think the fault lies with the irony poster, rather than its baffled receiver! LOL!
Andy, if they were conscious of their privelidge and truly dedicated, they would never use the option to strike. It's called a vocation.
I'm out of this one mikey is banging the hammer on the sides of the echo chamber again. Invoking the ghosts of slogans and buzz phrases past.
Togo, the Labour Party only has a past, so quite apt.

Zacs...and its that devotion to duty that Hunt is relying on, in order that he can bulldoze his proposals through.

He has yet to realise that he isn't dealing with hairy-*** Miners or Dockers or British Leyland workers, but the output of our best schools and colleges.

But the Tories would seem to prefer making cheap and childish jibes at PMQ's, rather then actually recognising that they have a huge problem here.

"The Health Service is safe with us"...who now believes that any longer ?
Zacs-Master // Andy, if they were conscious of their privelidge and truly dedicated, they would never use the option to strike. It's called a vocation//

I entirely believe that they are aware of the privelidge, and truly dedicated.

But calling a profession a 'vocation' is not carte blanche for a government to impose an unsuitable and unsafe contract on its members, and then finger-wag at them for reacting to it in the only way that will make the government return to the negotiating table.

It is precisely because junior doctors are as dedicated to their patients as they are, that they reluctantly take this action to prevent the actions of a government chasing cash and votes, from harming those patients in the long term.
Mikey, the junior doctors realise there is a shortage of doctors and are holding the country to ransom. It didn't work in the 80's and it won't work today.

Togo...then I will count you as a someone who supports Yah-Boo antics, rather than actually dealing with the problem in hand !

Dave is fiddling while the NHS burns.

Congratulations Dave...after nearly 6 years in power, all you have managed is to get the ruddy Doctors on strike....well done that man !

Apart from anything else, Corbyn started tarting himself up and singing God save the tart some time ago. So Cameron's timing not great :-)

Divebuddy...I will be glad to see your views on Dave's antics in today's PMQ's, with or without reference to the NHS !

Z-M - //Mikey, the junior doctors realise there is a shortage of doctors and are holding the country to ransom. It didn't work in the 80's and it won't work today. //

If you really believe that the JD's action is about 'holding the country to ransom, then I would suggest you have not heard their representatives making their case to the media.

People with the intent, to say nothing of the brains, determination, and sheer slog to qualify as doctors are not people who go in for 'holding the country to ransom',
Keep up Mikey, it's your thread. 20:10.

Yes....I can see your entirely balanced answer now DB !
Question Author
Yes I can see that now Zacs !

BA to AH !
ichk, much as I am loathed to say it, JC is a sheep in sheep's clothing - and will always be....
Andy, the doctors are still in training so haven't done the slog, yet. I don't need to pay any need to their representatives twisting the facts. The timing of the strikes is opportunity tic and garners them no respect in my eyes. It's blackmail in a subtle form and I abhor it.
Question Author
Zacs...."Doctors haven't their training yet" ?


What planet are you on ?
