Strikes boil down to two things: morals and ethics – the government has neither

As the sixth richest economy in the world, it is immoral to show so little regard for the loss of human life (PA Wire)

The question surrounding the strike by health professionals boils down to two things, it is a matter of morals and ethics. Clearly, this government has neither.

It has been allowing thousands of excess deaths for a very long time, rather than dealing with the underfunded, understaffed crises in our hospital wards. People have not been able to access health and social care when they need it. As the sixth richest economy in the world, it is immoral to show so little regard for the loss of human life if it suits the government’s plan. This government is choosing to let people die needlessly.

Don’t point the finger at the strikers, point the finger at this government that does not value human life. This government has been very aware of the situation for many years, but is more focused on forcing through a two-tiered health service.
