Oh well, let us just say the statements are your take on the BMA. My take on the BMA is rather different. Take your blinkers off and you will probably realise I am correct. As far as the para re CEO's, I do agree with what you say........... the CEO' s believe the contracts to be fair, but a...

Albion Roar, I am not quite clear on the point you are making. Anyway, I am off to watch the telly now,so farewell for today.

We will just have to agree to disagree about all the above.

There are a number of activists in the BMA who are known to hold pretty strong political views.Just because the BMA has no political affiliations it does not mean that their actions are without political motivation. As far as 'powerful' is concerned just look back through history. Finally, I...

Yes, an interesting article. Trouble is, as he says, it is almost a mortal sin to criticise the NHS, doctors and nurses.Just look at what has been posted on NSC. As I have said, the BMA is a very political and powerful trade union; but no, according to the gospel of NSC, doctors right and vile...

Ha-ha! Well, my old man isn't a commie and he doesn't approve of the strike; however he does share one or two views put forward by the other Jezza...............Corbyn, that is. There is no accounting for old medics, they can be very stubborn old goats.

El P. There has been quite a bit in the press about the militant tendency of some of the leading lights in the BMA and not necessarily in the 'trashy press'. They do have form and are a very powerful trade union, who have often taken a stand against any kind of change. Doctors are intelligent...

Surprisingly, not everyone who doesn't side with the medics requires this sort of attention, Tubs.

Thank you, Oh Mighty One. I read about his paper in today's Sunday Times. By the way, certain elements of the BMA hierarchy are highly political and no doubt have their own agenda concerning the Government.

Drew, calm down and stop foaming at the mouth. I just do not know how you can say my post is drivel. I have not assumed that you suggest that doctors wanted to stop working weekends. What I have said is, if they wanted a career that didn't involve working hard, including hours that are not...

My father was a GP, my uncle a Consultant Cardio-Thoracic surgeon, my aunt a doctor and my mother an SRN. I have been surrounded by medics ever since I can remember, but just cannot agree with the actions of the BMA and the doctors actions.

So it is plainly about the money,not patient safety then as the medics claim?

No, not if you are a doctor. If you want to be a doctor, please first realise that this is not a 9 to 5 occupation and you will be expected to work rotas. If you are unwilling to do this, you should have chosen another career. Hunt's offer is more than fair and this is now all about money. The...
