UK doctors strike for five days.

They got a deserved pay rise of 22% last year.

So... They're going to strike and get a raise every year for the rest of time???

They're not the only ones who are struggling. Unpaid carers have been unappreciated for decades, despite saving doctors and hospitals from being swamped.

@HootyTheNightOwl Yes we are all struggling now. Food is going up rapidly.

We can’t all afford cocktails after work at £15 a shot.
@peterlee Or £15 for breakfast in the Commons cafe, then lunch for £15.

@HootyTheNightOwl A meal for £15 is not exceptional these days and likely cheaper than the public cafes in central London, or the motorway services.

Their main complaint though seems that they are now being paid less than their non-graduate medical assistants, according to whole-page advertisemnts placed by the BMA in yesterday's newspapers.
