_xDEADBEEF OP ,

its a reposta.

_xDEADBEEF ,

probably because they know how easy it is to grow and it would undermine their potential profits.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i can understand why they want to have a pay rise but the amount asked is totally unrealistic considering the NHS is on its knees.

Can anyone see the healthcare in this country is only going to get worse? Its terrible over in Wales where i am.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i know that, and if they can get it, good for them. But read the room, there's no money

_xDEADBEEF ,

asking is reasonable, expecting it is another thing all together

_xDEADBEEF ,

i think the tories have managed it. for me, im going to have to find money from somewhere to go private for something ive been waiting to get seen to for years

_xDEADBEEF ,

That'd be good. It'll never happen, at least with the current one.

I also can't see a lavour one giving what the Drs ask either. They're rowing back on other expenditure because the forecast of our economy and the govts finance is bleak.

_xDEADBEEF , (edited )

what exactly am I doing to make it so easy for them? Not being optimistic about the situation? I'm not stopping anyone doing anything. Crack on. I just will not join in the "hurr, durr. Tories bad" circlejerk with the endless repetition of the same old widely known history and either sides talking points. It's the infantile r/unitedkingdom all over again.

I think you're all naive to think anyone is going to get anywhere with the current govt, theres a track record of this and neither side is willing to compromise. History has shown what happens in this situation in the UK. Nothing. Even if the protests/strikes develop into violence, we've seen what happens. Still nothing.

It's about time people get serious about the current situation and near future, because people are too damned optimistic, have too much faith in our politicians, of any party, and are going to end up seriously dissapointed.

Sorry to be a doomer.

i fail to see how suggesting people to be prepared for not getting what you want is putting them down. You say it like this doesn't affect me. Half my family works/worked in the NHS. Admittedly only 1 is a Dr and she hasn't striked because where she is, they didn't get enough union votes to allow it.

Maybe its the fact i grew up with my father striking in the 80s (not the mines, dockyard. Didn't work) been to enough protests, seen the inside of a police van too many times, and prefer to not go up before the magistrate again, that im jaded to it all.

But sure, lets all ignorantly cheerlead them on from the sidelines, right? 👏👏👏

I want to be wrong, but, mark my words, short of a revolution, nothing will happen. Partly because protests don't work and partly because this country's economy is circling the drain.

Just heads up, don't expect a reply if you do.

_xDEADBEEF ,

yeah, I've seen this issue being raised a few times in interviews with frontline soldiers on the Radio Free Europe yt channel.

Lets hope the new commander can translate his achievements in localised battles to his management of the war.

_xDEADBEEF ,

you got to wonder how far right she actually is to consider Britain is run by left wing "extremists".

Thats assuming she knows what any of those 3 words mean.

_xDEADBEEF ,

is this some sort of cobbled together mine clearing vehicle?

_xDEADBEEF ,

FIRE ZE MISSILES!

Ukrainians who have moved to the UK have highlighted the lack of dentists as among the most astonishing aspects of British life ( www.theguardian.com )

One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!...

_xDEADBEEF ,

im very envious of the service my dog gets at the vets. appts the same day and non emergency surgery within days. ive been on an a waiting list for an examination for over 14months now

_xDEADBEEF ,

That was exactly the same reason i stopped reading Private eye. Its relentless and seemingly nothing will stop the corruption

_xDEADBEEF ,

Overseas war, sure. I'm not happy here in the UK and am thinking of emigrating, but if we're invaded I'll be fighting, not for my country but for those i love in it.

_xDEADBEEF ,

that area was already deprived before the layoffs. these layoffs are going to be devastating to the local communities

_xDEADBEEF ,

I want to see the Penguins

they gave control of the red sea task force to the US last year.

theyre the 12th largest navy in the world.

their navy us split into 2 fleets: Mediterranean and red sea.

they have 2000km of busy coastline to patrol.

the attacks are also happening beyond their coastline in the gulf of aden.

Djibouti has a military base of loads of other countries because uts also in their interests to protect the shipping

a weak navy and large coastline means they have limited ability to project naval power before considering protecting the gulf of aden or putting airstrikes into yemen.

oh, and Egypt has a track record of having an incompetent military, so there's that...

_xDEADBEEF ,

huh, so the rubber+wood applique armour i saw on another mtlb wasn't a one off.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i came across about 100m of freshly laid road yesterday. i only realised when i thought id gone deaf. it was magical.

_xDEADBEEF ,

hmm, i wonder if they think this solution to their undesirables has some finality about it

_xDEADBEEF ,

sacked for saying the quiet bit out loud
