Xmas Turkeys
Like turkeys voting for Christmas, NHS doctors decided yesterday to proceed with this week’s strike.
Public support for their actions has already significantly decreased.

A five-day walkout starting tomorrow will likely push support to an all-time low.
The consequences will be dire for our hospitals.
More surgeries will be canceled, and more elderly patients will be left in corridors on trolleys.
Some may even face fatal outcomes due to staff shortages.
However, it appears that nothing will deter the BMA union and its Marxist leadership.
Forget any idea of compassion for the ill; they have made a calculated decision to inflict maximum damage.
Having turned their backs on the Secretary, the medical professionals have demonstrated that these strikes are driven by nothing but greed.
Sir — who awarded the doctors a substantial pay increase last year to supposedly end the disputes — expresses his dismay.
The Prime Minister must now set aside his disappointment and put an end to the militants once and for all.
The nation cannot afford for him to concede to the BMA hardliners a second time.
Lost Youth
One in eight young people — approximately a million — are not engaged in work, education, or training and are instead idle.
This situation is not only an unaffordable scandal but also a national tragedy.
Young individuals have been discarded by a welfare system that promotes dependency over employment.
Former Labour minister Alan Milburn — who is leading an extensive review of the welfare system — refers to them as a “lost generation.”
He is correct, but what actions is the Government ready to take?
What is urgently required are tough measures to help unemployed youth find jobs.
This entails reducing claims.
And providing young people the opportunity to forge new lives through employment.
Hard Labour
Labour came to power with the backing of large businesses that believed its promises of delivering growth.
After two years, entrepreneurs and employers have been left deeply disappointed.
Outgoing CBI head Rupert Soames has expressed his shock at Labour’s choices.
This includes policies that significantly hinder firms from hiring young workers.
Question: do even Labour’s own ministers still believe any of this economic madness was a good idea?
Why are NHS doctors striking?
NHS doctors are striking to demand better pay and working conditions, although public support for their actions has decreased.
What impact will the doctors' strike have on patients?
The strike is expected to lead to more canceled surgeries and increased wait times for patients, especially the elderly, who may be left in corridors.
What is the Government's response to youth unemployment?
The Government has been urged to make tough decisions to help unemployed young people find jobs, which may involve reducing welfare claims.
