Maybe, having entered the profession, they find that they care much more about their patients, their hospitals, and the health system than their pernicious paymasters do.

He does have a bit of a point.

Especially about the NHS being underfunded and I'll add on the brink of collapse. In the not to distance future a lot of it, I'm talking non urgent will be privatized. In NI there's a 9 month wait for an MRI scan and in the end it's done by a private clinic paid by the NHS. That's not sustainable.

I've spent a lot of time in Colombia and dated two woman there, one a lawyer earning the equivalent of about £4k a month for a private oil company, a crazy amount for a country were the average wage is about £300 a month. The other was training to be a doctor, at the moment she's in a placement for her first year as a 'junior doctor', it's unpaid, they don't even pay for her accommodation and after the year the wage is only slightly higher than the average wage.

It's not just doctors pay that has went down I relation to inflation, it's most workers. Plus, the price is beans is a silly comparison.

13 weeks holidays makes up for that I imagine. That'll be the allowance, plus if she's head of department she'll be on, what... Around 50-70k a year?

Yes it is. The price of beans depends on many factors, energy prices, wages, as the minimum wage goes up factories need to charge more. Check what the minimum wage was in 2008 and compare it to today. Price of the tins varies as well... Silly to compare to doctors wages.

No it doesn't, houses change in price, up and down with demand and general changes to areas.

Beans are food, just in case you didn't know.

Alcohol goes under the bracket of 'food and drink'. So yes, the same as beans... But your mass produced 20 cans of piss water larger for £12 at Tesco hasn't really changed in price much over the years.

Minimum wage almost doubled since 2008. I think bridging the gap between rich and poor can only be a good thing.

Plus, house prices depends on the area, your 70% increase if accurate would include places like London or the south coast which have become crazy, other areas the prices have gone up by a far smaller percentage. But... Like I said, house prices go up and down. They've already fallen this year, haven't they?

A 30% raise in beer is actually a reduction given wage increases.
