"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
Martin Luther King Junior 16 April 1963
On the tube in london, a big man in his 30s answered the phone in Ukrainian and started crying. This is heart breaking. #Ukraine️#war#London#tube#SupportUkraine
Interesting to see more media coverage for @BMA_JuniorDocs strike. But, language used to describe strikers as militants is setting a new low bar by @SteveBarclay. Fact: Doctors are healers not fighters, militant stances are usually for politicians.#JuniorDoctorsStrike
Keeping this pay decline might not translate into vacancies and shortages but will definitely result in loss of talents and overall reduction in the NHS service quality (5) #BMA#NHS#strike#NHSCrisis#juniordoctors#UK#Doctors
There is arbitrary caps on hourly pay for doctors especially in london which makes the average private hourly pay of 10 years experienced doctor less than a newly appointed handy man (4) #BMA#NHS#strike#NHSCrisis#juniordoctors#UK#Doctors
The pay raise for doctors has been not keeping up with the average pay rise of equal high skilled professions in the UK with significant exodus in recent years (3) #BMA#NHS#strike#NHSCrisis#juniordoctors#UK#Doctors
Absolute salaries figures are not indicative of the financial status. There is a significant pay cut accumulating over the last 15 years. This render medical profession less appealing with the stress and working hours requirement (2) #BMA#NHS#strike#juniordoctors#UK#Doctors
This was expected yet shockingly high. It is higher than the 2016 ballot and the recent RCN strike ballot. There is a massive justified frustration between junior doctors (1) #NHS#BMA#juniordoctors#doctors
