I’m Mr Barclay (call me Steve)
What I want you all to believe
Is that doctors who are juniory
Should never be pecuniary
But the result of my abject failure
Is that they fuck off to Australia
@goldstone_tony Done lots of extra lists/weekends already this year (needed to fix roof🙄). Projected income for this tax year means because of increment and this stupid cliff edge, ALL overtime was for free. Have basically paid to work AND still got to pay for my roof. NOT fair @wesstreeting
@Conservatives Blaming the strikes (you caused) for your own NHS waiting list shambles? Spineless. Dishonest. You deserve to be annihilated at the ballot box.
I grew up watching flag-waving little Englanders parading their nationality around Rochester like Dickensian caricatures, puffing their chests out in pride over an imperial history carefully reimagined to paint over barbaric cruelty with Constable landscapes and Churchillian swagger… As if the accident of where they were born had been an achievement…
These folk were everywhere… with their arrogant smiles and entitled condescension. They were the National Front-supporting parents of school friends, avoiding eye contact if I dared visit their house via their sons, asking me transparent questions about my ethnicity and explaining how mixed race marriages never work, in case I propositioned one of their vulnerable teenage daughters…
I was taught to consider myself both lucky to be here and self-evidently inferior by virtue of my heritage.
So when I see those same superior, colluding, patronising smiles on the over-rehearsed faces of attention-seeking rabble-rousers like Farage and Tice, I have to remember…
We can’t change the past but we can make damn sure those who belong in the past don’t destroy our future…
Farage is a disease, a malicious vessel of hate… A gleeful provocateur. Everything he touches becomes a toxic wasteland of hopeless misery. He is a cancer waiting to destroy the same host over and over again.
I said this about him in a Channel 4 News interview back in 2014.
I’m saying it again now.

The money IS there to end child poverty. Sunak’s National Service scheme would cost £2.5bn. Getting rid of two-child benefit cap would lift 1.1million children out of poverty at a cost £1.8bn. The economic benefits of the latter would be immense.
@LarcombePeter@sib313 Many consultants that could be well placed to achieve change have zero interest in doing so because there are too many road blocks (like fixed locum rates, inflexible trust policy, unhelpful management)not to mention a huge disconnect between allocated SPA time & actual time cost
The contents of this report are unsurprising, but absolutely damning of government policy and implementation at every stage
