GP Playing Politics
With the prospect of Commons debate about dropping the health bill being forced by an government e-petition, lots of noise is being made about it being a sign of ordinary GPs fighting back. It was hardly an accident though. The GP that started the petition, Dr Kailash Chand, was taken on by former Shadow Health Secretary John Healey to run a policy review and is trying to become a Labour candidate. This one is like cat-nip to Labour and if they couldn’t find 100,000 of their supporters to sign it, then they really would be in trouble…
But if government passes the bill what is the point of debateing it two or three weeks later?
It gives the loony left and lib dems a chance to pretend they fooking know what people want from the NHS.
you cant trust them
The NHS has been set up to get bigger and bigger then Fail. Bit like the economy, and not one of the Political Elite can do anything about it. Empire building gets out of hand, ask the USA soon to fail
The Left Wing “doctoring” information. Well I never…….
Oh Sahib, your mighty right hand is gripping me most certainly!
Just throw some public money at them & they’ll sign anything.
Worked for Nye “I stuffed their mouths with gold” Bevan. Labour do like subsidising the middle classes.
Dr Kailash Chand, where he from?
Southall. Got a problem?
He’s from Ashton under Lyne – a serial correspondent to the local paper and generally into self aggrandisement. Likes his picture in the press, and glories in being seen with those he thinks are important, or more importantly will help him to pursue his ambitions.
Typical Labour party PPC – if he ever achieves that!!
Used to work with him a while back.. Not a bad bloke.. Likes the sound of his own voice.. Talked the leg of a stuffed donkey once.. Supports Labour due to expediency.. If Ashton was a true blue Tory kinda place.. He would be posing with Cambo.. In short a man of no consequence..
What does it take to get the Leiber scum to stop playing party politics? They care nothing for this country. All they care about is getting back into office and milking us all dry. Nothing but nasty b*stards.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Couldn’t find 100,000 to bring back hanging.
Maybe because some here think for themself instead being sheep and following what every they are told to do.
They increased my salary by 60% and reduced my workload by 60%. That’s why I love Labour. I may have to work almost full time under the proposals which won’t do.
I’m glad you are my GP then, and will be working hard and not finding ways to funnel the money you’ll be in charge of back into your pockets
I said working almost full time. Nobody mentioned working hard.
I only think about my patients (and my QUAFF points but my nurses make all those for me).
Doubly glad then.
Lets hope the ones working hard funneling money -taxpayers money remember -don’t put you out of business.
Don’t worry SP, there’ll be enough for them all
Yes and its costing me small fortune to pay a private company to do my outside hours calls as well.
But Dr No – surely you are a shareholder of one such company as well.
You sound like the GP’s in my “health” centre. They worked 4 days per week until complaints rolled in, but now have 2 surgeries so they always have an excuse to not be in the major one.
Now to get a regular health review that they insist on takes 2 weeks.
The political GP’s are the problem with the government’s plan to have GP’s run the NHS. Most have no idea how to run a business with accountabilities, and many are too lazy. Luckily these changes will hasten those GP’s dying to retire.
They are similar to those people in the NHS, local Councils, and the BBC.
So are only about 30% of GP’s capable and willing to run the NHS?
The left do not care about the NHS.
My evidence is Mids staff and pilgrims, no reguard for the public.
My names Tubes and i have one question and one question only.
Why if the N.H.S is so wonderful and perfect are there so many unfit for work or sick?
Pies.
Have you seen the state of a lot of NHS staff, especially management? Weapons grade munters and pie addicts the lot of them.
Go to any hospital for a 9am appointment and watch nurses (not receptionists) arrive 5 minutes after 9, doctors 10 minutes late and consultants up to 20 minutes late. And the first thing they do is get their tea and coffee and walk around their waiting patients. Just like the culture that existed in british industry in the 1950′s.
They really are the scum of the earth these Labour self serving twisting useless twats
My Doctor’s a total halfwit, he has no idea who I am, he looses paperwork, has no idea of test results or even why he ordered them. When asked a question he Googles before he answers. The whole system needs a kick up the arse.
Yeah but I bet he can play solitaire on his shiny office pc, read the odd email sent back to him through the wonderful IT system and come up with the drugs needed to put you to sleep.
If the NHS just stuck to curing the sick and wounded there wouldn’t be such a problem.
But it just seems to have ballooned into a hectoring superquango where half the staff are employed to produce impenetrable memoranda on equality and diversity issues, decarbonising the NHS estate and how best to tackle ‘health inequalities’ by ripping up pavements to create cycle paths.
Especially galling when they then reject cancer drugs and suchlike on cost grounds and you see junior doctors spending 16 hours a day filling in paperwork that all the malingering backroom layabouts could be helping out with instead of spending taxpayers cash on leaflets in Urdu.
…or Irish
Gaibh mo Leisceal
Does he actually speak in a language you can understand?
If so, I’d tell him straight.
Before the 13 dark years of Labour, GPs had to get by on less than £100,000 a year and some of them had to work on Saturday mornings, evenings and believe it or not some of them used to take turns to be on duty overnight. They don’t want to go back to that sort of thing now that they’ve got used to getting fabulously rich for working part time.
Why is it that the main Tabloids never have these articles on their front pages. Thanks Guido for letting us whats really is going on with the Labour party.shame the media dont do any real investigating for real news
Same with the bbc who were quick today on mentioning and promoting the e-petition but not its source from a Labour activist and wanabe doctor MP.
I like flowers.
Guido
Can I revert to your piece on Rangers Footie Club and their “administration”
I think this is bigger than most people realise
This Club is but one of broitosh footie clubs paying tens of millions into offshore trusts for their players…without declaring them to the Tazx man…
This is tax evasion on a massive scale which the MSM did not wish to expose (like the Lobby !)
Because if briotish footbazll is discredited the salles of whole dead tree press will collapse …as risks happening because of Citizen Murdoch’s criminal empire
alright I dont pay tax but it was funny
That is socialist economics for you
leverage any income by multiplying it with borrowings to buy votes/success
when its fucked hand it to someone else to fix ready for next time
its a scottish speciality
Tax is for mugs.
The 100,000 who signed it are those nhs managers earning a fortune pushing paperclips about.
All you didn’t want to know about Derek Draper’s pants :

You know when Steve Coogan said he’d never signed a contract with the tabloids saying they were alowed free reign into his private life, well since then I’ve been wondering what it would look like etc.
That happens to look like one.
Kate – how the f*ck can Dolly be a “neat freak” when he always looks like a tramp?
I imagine he’s got plenty of time on his hands for housework these days; as for his looks, you can’t polish a turd….
yup, anyone who can’t get a hundred thousand people to sign their petition is an abject failure aren’t they Guido?
right?
steady
The key words here are “trying to become a Labour Candidate”
Doctor’s salaries just don’t cut it any more.
Where might one find this petition, Mr Fawkes?
Finally!
The BBC news lead story has the government’s comment about the unemployment figures first.
That’s been switched recently as ‘LABOUR says’ has been lead item all day.
Finally someone at CHQ got on the phone to Pravda.
Ali Campbell would have started kicking their arses at 6am and they’d have been reporting ‘good news on unemployment’ by now.
Forget that. On R5 its still ‘Labour says’ and then ‘watch our special program on unemployment on the web’.
Champagne bottles ready for 3million everyone?
Still Labour says all day and now the PM programme has it.
I would like to see the Met raid BBC producer and editor houses early in the morning for crimes against the state.
The BBC News had Liam”There’s No Money Left” Byrne and Millibland commenting on the unemployment figures, but nothing and no-one from the Government.
WTF does the Coalition press office do all day?
RELLLAAAAXXXX !!! 100,000 of us signed it yesterday.
Did I hear you say that the Brown Bullshit Coprophiliacs were C0nts?
My speech about the dangers of alcohol was very well received!
I’m glad I lay down several cases of Château Margaux 2007 Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé.
2007? Shurely not a gooood year?
I prefer the 1970 Petrus Pomerol. Available to all Global Warming Troughers. Hic !
Yes imagine how embarrassing it would be to start a petition and not get the signatures.
The signatures have already been fiddled.
In 1947 86% of GPs voted against introducing the NHS.
Has the Spelman post been closed by a super injunction ?
My comment box has been removed !
The beeb seems to think that the announcement of some government stats or policy, followed by condemnation by Labour provides a fair balance. No it doesn’t. The original news is neutral. Fairness requires both the opposition AND the government have the opportunity put their interpretation of the significance of the news. You repeatedly and routinely don’t do that, Beeb, and until you do, every time, every day, every programme, until then you are biased. Get it? Hopelessly and relentlessly biased.
What I say is that if liebour are against this,is that it must be a winner for the cons/libs.
Good to see everyone here is using private healthcare. You are, aren’t you?
