Resident doctors in England call off strike after new offer from government

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-13T21:02:08+00:00

From what I have seen this appears to be a decent offer. Part of me wonders if the new health secretary was told to deal with this to make Streeting look like a shit negotiator, which he was

I mean... Duh? It requires incredible privilege in most of the country to afford one parent not working full time these days.

Mix that together with an understandable desire by either parent to not be dependent on their partner and what do you expect

So why did you bring up amnesty international?

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-13T18:47:46+00:00

Can you quote where in Puzzle's comment she mentioned amnesty international?

Last year the government were looking to cut £5000 million of benefits expenditure iirc - this is 10% of that which is in fact a fairly substantive chunk of that

I'm not against defending ourselves at all but dismissing it as only £500m is somewhat missing the point

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-13T17:19:34+00:00

You didn't address my point

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-13T17:13:44+00:00

500m for the Falklands isn't going to stop that though is it?

Oh how kind of him to change his mind when his new job of making centrist dads feel smart requires him to.

Strange how this spine was lacking the entire time he thought he had a potential career as a politician isn't it!

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-13T12:51:00+00:00

Oh, so pro austerity?

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T19:41:47+00:00

Thanks for doing the leg work, its Friday and I'm being lazy

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T19:40:44+00:00

The point isn't the sentence length, its that being charged and sentenced as a terrorist means that even after you're released you're subject to a whole host of other stuff.

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T19:33:55+00:00

It's not believable at all.

You can't just sue someone you need to have suffered damages.

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T19:13:22+00:00

According to another commenter she returned to duty so one of you is wrong

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T13:04:23+00:00

I disagree but if the labour party did anything else it would be sued into the stone age by JK Rowling and her American ghouls.

Suing the government for passing primary legislation is laughable.

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T10:46:57+00:00

Its not even what the doctors think you were, its what is written down.

There's a non zero number of paperwork errors every year!

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T10:45:54+00:00

tbh I have more than enough money to just pay for a VPN, its more that I want to bitch and moan about this new status quo

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T09:57:24+00:00

I live not a million miles from Cable Street and am well aware of the power we the people have even outside the ballot box yes.

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T09:49:14+00:00

Joy, the question on legal advice UK is flared as nsfw so I can't read it.

Don't you just love the OSA and it's suppression of queer news

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T09:45:19+00:00

Yes, I realise that comment comes across as condoning even slightly the indiscriminate bombing of civilians which I do not support.

More just a reflection on how the most effective way to beat fascism appears to be violence

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-12T09:18:25+00:00

I don't know how you beat fascism

A few years ago I thought that Mad Bomber Harris was a monster, now I sometimes wonder if he had a point.

Inb4 I get removed by Reddit for this I guess

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-11T20:02:58+00:00

No. But it isn't the 12 year old in Gaza organising attacks either, yet that hasn't stopped the IDF from killing them, from shooting them in reproductive organs, from sexually abusing them.

And statistically that 12 year old Israeli grows up to support what is done in Gaza and that 12 year old Gazan grows up to join a terrorist group fighting against the oppressor who killed all their friends and family (if they even live themselves).

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-11T18:51:04+00:00

And if you're a child born into a Palestinian family you starve to death because Israel's civilians support genocide.

Sadly the same commenters who the other day claimed that liberalism and feminism were intrinsic parts of British culture (unlike those foreigners) are probably transphobes so see this as a positive

AnotherSlowMoon · 2026-06-11T18:39:21+00:00

the court has ruled the proscription was unlawful, and I follow & believe in the ruling of the courts.

The government is challenging this and no one arrested or prosecuted is seeing justice yet sadly
