    The NHS is on its knees because of deliberate underfunding. It is only still going because NHS workers have taken a 25-35% real terms pay cut since 2010. It cannot recover off the backs of its workforce, not least because that workforce can easily find work elsewhere but the NHS cannot replace them.

    The Tories are doing this because they want to privatise health care. Don’t make it so easy for them.

        The issue isn’t the current government, the issue is all the people (such are yourself) putting down striking workers instead of supporting them and their cause.

        Frankly, we’re long overdue a general strike. But the British public are such masochistic pussies that it probably will never happen.
