      They would try to lock down minimum service period to also include x number of years post qualification, some bullshit around “huge investment made in their education”, failing to reconcile that with the effort made by the new doctor to get on the course in the first place and then qualify.

    The Tory leader said her party would introduce legislation for minimum service levels and block doctors taking widespread industrial action, placing them under the same restrictions that apply to police officers, soldiers and prison officers.

    Minimum service levels are all very well and good. But nobody is going to agree to them if not financially remunerated.

    Edit: TIL a new word (or rather corrected my long standing bad spelling). Remuneration.

        What the hell? Has that always… what? How? But?

        Did you just conjure up this word that I’ve never heard before in my life, and then time-travel back and change all the dictionaries?

          Think “money” rather than “number” to get the right word. It’s not actually from “money”, mind you, it’s from Latin “munerari” (to give), but it’s a useful mnemonic.

            Yeah, I had a look and it makes sense… it’s just… it seems like everyone has been saying “renumerated” for my entire life until this point, and now suddenly I’ve found out my entire life has been based on lies (not that it’s a word I’d say that often, to be honest).

            [Edit] Anyway, I’ll definitely remember it now. Not because of the mnemonic, but simply because of the shame of being wrong for several decades.

        It’s very rare I am surprised these days on the internet (I’ve seen many things… 😲) but this is wonderful. Thank you. I’ve learnt something new 😁.

    Black conservative promotes slavery

    Thanks Olukemi! And when I try to show the idiotic levels of hypocracy in this woman, they start thinking I’m racist. No, she is that stupid and despicable, with no understanding of history or irony.

      She’s a classic “pull the ladder up!” hypocrite. Other Africans have to “earn” their right to live and work here, according to her. She got her British passport by having rich parents who booked a private hospital in the UK to give birth to her in, then high tailed it back home. If you’re gonna be a racist xenophobic prat, Kemi, at least try to hide the fact that you yourself were a foreigner who did nothing to earn your right to live here either. Can’t stand that woman and her smug, hypocritical face.

    I’m not surprised my mate (anesthesiologist) fucked off to Australia. This was about 10 years ago and was telling me then things are going to get worse.
