But of course, we are told constantly that the argument isnt about money,..... and they also say that if it was money and an easy life you are after, dont join the medical profession..... I dont believe any of this by the way, they are very well paid in the long term.
Further clarification,... entry level junior doctors (f1's).. may earn a basic 22k,.. but in fact the average annual earnings through the various supplements amount to an average of 40k,.. not bad straight out of University is it? Junior doctors in specialist training can earn upwards of 47k...
Its genetically ingrained in the political left to reject privatisation of any sort, at anytime, for any purpose,.... and its simply because of the links with Thatcher,.... its no more complicated than that.
Indeed they are not,.... but it is the only tool that they are using that will be likely to get public sympathy,.... if they start presenting the real reason that they are arguing,... ie money.... then they wouldnt get any sympathy.
