British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.
I feel truly heartbroken today. My Chinese takeaway,
which has been serving this community for more than
10 years, was vandalized with hateful graffiti telling us
to "go home."
This is not just paint on the wall - it is blatant
discrimination, and it hurts deeply
The police are already following up on this incident. If
anyone has seen anything or knows who did this,
please contact us
We work hard every day to serve our customers with
love and dedication. I believe our community is
stronger than hate, and 1 hope everyone will stand
together against this kind of behaviour.

you don't need to read Toynbee scabbing, this comment from a striking doctor is a better response.
'Elopix': 'I'm a resident doctor. I think it's telling that this article is full of quotes from trust CEOs, and virtually nothing from any resident doctors. I want to make a few points:

1. For the public, the NHS is a cuddly beloved organisation. For us, it is a deeply unpleasant employer - the only game in town if you're in training in this country - where administrators with no understanding of the core clinical work treat us with contempt. You have heard the anecdotes of doctors refused leave for weddings. I have personally seen doctors prohibited from taking time out (unpaid) to spend with dying relatives with the threat of losing their training place held over them. It is telling that Wes Streeting claimed this week that he felt he'd been close to a deal to avert strikes. What was on offer? Hot meals and staff rooms. That these are the incentive should be informative as to the status quo.

2. Polly mentions our increasing pay as we progress. But that progression is far from guaranteed. After two years of fixed term contracts, doctors can apply for specialty training but this is a competitive process (against other second year doctors, and those with more experience and more polished CVs). This year, only 20% of applicants to general practice training were able to get a space. There is not enough space here to detail the unpaid & expensive work, research, exams and teaching demanded for a competitive application to training and succesful progression through it.''3. This is basic: read the independent pay review body report (DDRB). It sets out in black and white that since 2010 resident doctor pay has fallen behind inflation, whilst average wages in the wider economy are now above their inflation adjusted level from that time. In other words, no, we're not all in it together, and resident doctors have had one of the biggest historic paycuts second to consultant doctors. You can rightly point out that most residents weren't signing up for medicine in 2008 (although some were) but you'll have a hard time justifying paying us less for doing the same job when wages are broadly higher for the rest of the economy.

4. We all remember the clapping during covid. When I can pay my landlord with good will and public trust, we can stop campaigning for higher wages. The public has shown the hollowness of its veneration for the NHS and its staff.'
