Consultants hold all the power here as there are so few of them. Hospitals always have vacancies for consultants, if they were to be banned from private work some of them would leave the NHS and you are in a worse situation The wages for consultants in the NHS are comparatively shite compared to say Canada and Oz, not saying that they live in poverty etc, but private work allows some of them to stay in NHS practice, if you ban private practice you’ll see massive amounts move abroad and the whole thing crumble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse fates for a politician than being force-fed kangaroo testicles and ostrich anus in return for a very large cheque. While the disgraced former health secretary is down under consuming exotic genitalia, Conservative MPs are preparing for the ritual humiliation of facing aggrieved constituents demanding to know why the government is making their lives even more difficult. The signature domestic event of late autumn is the fiscally brutal package of tax rises and spending cuts expected from the chancellor in 11 days’ time. This will be a bushwhacker trial of the entire Conservative party conducted in front of a jury that is already telling pollsters that they can’t wait to evict the Tories." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Phew, thank goodness for the broad shoulders of the UK keeping us safe. James Cleverly, Foreign Secretary says Russia might have been behind Shetland internet cable damage. Mind you, might also have been a posse of monkeys in scuba gear, but where's the fear factor there?

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/07/tories-myth-migrant-crisis-brexit-immigration-centre "Britain exists in an imaginary state of crisis about immigration. Nothing soothes this anxiety – not facts, not real numbers of arrivals, not the distinction between migrants in general and asylum seekers in particular. In the past week alone, reports have emerged of illegally detained migrants at overcrowded centres falling ill, of underage sexual assault, and of others being dropped off in the middle of cities and promptly forgotten about. These appalling failures have occurred not because there are too many migrants, but because the government has broken its own asylum system. This is a crisis by design, not of arrivals. The government is keen to stress the recent increase in Channel crossings, yet asylum applications are half what they were 20 years ago. The real and only cause of the debacle at Manston and other failing centres is this: the number of asylum applications processed within six months has fallen from almost 90% to about 4%. It’s not that more people are arriving than ever before, it’s that more of them aren’t being processed, and so are stuck in the asylum system for years. Efficiency has been dropping sharply since 2014, one year after Theresa May established the “hostile environment” and in the middle of George Osborne’s austerity programme. The intersection of those two forces created an underfunded, cruel Home Office, and with it Britain’s immigration “crisis”. And it is a crisis that the government has every interest in maintaining, or at least no pressing interest in resolving. The Tories have finessed a narrative in which the country is under a migrant siege that the government is trying valiantly to rebuff, but is frustrated in its efforts by a string of culprits – “activist” lawyers, human rights law, tofu eaters, the Labour opposition. It is that tired fallback of failing rightwing government: plead helplessness in the face of a ubiquitous fifth column, an abstract leftwing blob that only last week the Sunday Telegraph editor, Allister Heath, promoted to the status of wielding “near total intellectual hegemony”." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple pre-fix of a three letter word typifies in every glorious way how fecked up this Government (individuals within, attached to, and those who vote) and country is. And don't recall seeing much dissent from the main opposition party on this particular honour as presumably the saw some favoured candidates honoured as well. And on another thread there are seemingly sane posters devoting hours of their time in support of the status quo.

One was hounded out of office by his own MPs in an unprecedented way and the other sneaked in through the back door after losing an internal election to a crackpot who only lasted 45 days! What a double act. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Johnson has no one’s interest at heart other than his own, it would not surprise me if he looks to undermine Sunak at every opportunity, it will help keep him in the headlines and improve his (money making) profile. When the Tories lose, following his huge majority in 2019, he will also be able to claim that they were wrong to dump him whilst ignoring his role in initiating the free fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
