2. Early flu - that's early but not any worse than a typical year - and having to wear masks in hospitals to 'save the NHS', yes, they've dredged that nonsense up again. They've even had interviews with that ugly virologist guy that lied through his teeth during Covid. Also claimng vaccine stocks are running low one with breath then saying go and get a vaccine in the next.

3. Junior doctors due to vote on industrial action / strike.

I wonder just how co-incidental it really is that there's this massive focus on early flu and hospital queues with a strike vote due by doctors.

Doctors vote to stay at work, this all disappears from the news. However doctors go on strike - *******s are putting the lives of children, elderly and immuno compromised at risk.

They must think we're thick but then I'm pretty sure I said at the time that the Covid lock down was a social experiment. It clearly worked and enough people fell for it that they can now use similar tactics to influence the population.
Zero time for the blessed NHS.

Individual people working in it fine.....like all big organisations, some will be guid, vast majority average and some dreadful.

NHS isn't a marvel comics convention
