Ed’s NHS Sickie
Miliband told the people of Harlow yesterday:
“We should be totally intolerant of people who are skiving off. I want a health service where if people aren’t doing their jobs properly, they aren’t doing their jobs any more. We should find a way to crack down on this and stop it happening. If people aren’t really sick then something should be done about it.”
Quite. A bit rich though from the man who pulled a sickie to avoid a “24 hours to save the NHS rally” and went to a football match with a millionaire donor instead…
“We should be totally intolerant of people who are skiving off. I want a health service where if people aren’t doing their jobs properly, they aren’t doing their jobs any more. We should find a way to crack down on this and stop it happening. If people aren’t really sick then something should be done about it.”














Would you expect anything else from Millipede Minimus?
Do as I say not as I do!
Has he run this past his bosses at Unite and Unison?
Gordon’s in for it then?
Apparently there’s something in the Queen’s speech about making it easier to hire and fire… It’ll be the usual fudge I suppose.
Wot no homosexual weddings? How am I going to make a honest man of my civil husband?
*cough* Margaret Moran *cough*
*cough* Gordon Brown *cough*
Bloody Fool
sack the two faced lying hypocrite
Which one ?? We’re riddled with them.
He cannot possibly be two faced, he wouldn’t be wearing that one if he was
Wait until you see the other face….
Yes, I miss Benny Hill as well.
Teachers next?
Why can’t I take Milliband seriously?
Because he’s a brillo-haired little twat?
Once an idiot always an idiot.
Bercow grinning at cameras on way to Chamber. Pillock.
That’s right Ed – tell the crowd what they want to hear – even though you know you will do nothing about it (as if your Union paymaster would let you get rid of the dross element of the workforce within the public sector).
Clearly, you are impressed with Monsieur Hollande’s con on the French public.
Whatever next? Free money and broadband for everyone!?!
Steady on, not so sure about that.
Just a typical Labour hypocrite.
Like the rest, nothing but a hypocrit
….. and people are queeing up to hear the queen’s speech and further enslave themselves to the corrupt british polical system – what a larf
whilst I just like to watch and count all the shiny buttons. I can count to ten now!
Socialist politician is a proven liar and hypocrite. Shock horror!
Labour have a long way to go to get rid of their pro-scrounger stance. An investigation into how they let things get out of control under their time in office would be a start. I won’t hold my breath.
Given Labour’s shameless vote buying I’m surprised the Tories ever win.
Does that mean he would get rid of pilgrims?
Ed can say whatever he likes, he’s still a dork and he would probably be bullied on most playgrounds. He’ll never be PM.
I wouldn’t like to put money on that now.
He is like a giant foreskin.
What, really stretchy and occasionally getting stuck in your fly at why point you have to undo your trousers really carefully? That’s nothing like Ed.
Ed balls is a bit like a bellend though.. in fact he is a bellend.
Do not be too hard on Milliband minor ,He is the Tories best weapon .
Only Bollocks or his boy wife could be worse.
Imagine faking an illness
Skinner is a spastic.
Am I ill, a coward or just idle?
Yes, but you urgently need to be seen by a gynec0logist,who specialises in looking at “You”.
Pop yourself up in the stirrups…..
Watching this State Opening mullarkey. So the country’s broke, but we’re able to afford all of this flummery. Why the need for hundreds of horses? Why the carriage AND the Bentley? Hundreds of people there gonzing – are they on a day’s leave or on a jolly?
If tens of thousands of people are being made redundant then this spectacle should have been vastly scaled down also.
All in it together? Not where the great and good are concerned.
Oh fuck – here we go. Hats off strangers!!!
If your lot hadn’t flushed our wealth down the pan and made all them rules which make it too expensive to make anything here anymore we could have afforded a lot more.
or are you advocating all them people redundant, and turning all them horses into Fidos dinner?
Skinner: “Jubilee Year, double-dip recession, what a wonderful start.”
That went down badly. Shouts of “shame” from govt benches. Time to put Skinner to sleep.
He is a complete prick, a dinosaur of the old left who ruined us, one of the beer and sandwiches socialists of Wilson’s time.
Well alright!
Skinner and Cameron have more in common than they think, especially when it comes to saying one thing but doing another.
On taking his seat in Parliament, Skinner publicly undertook to stand down as an MP at the age of 65 (which was in 1997), just as he would have retired as a miner. He said this was so he would not be “taking another man’s job”. He has since stood and been re-elected in four General Elections and is now 80.
They should get together and compare notes.
Skinner serves a higher imperative. It’s not bad if Lefties do it.
Personally, I find his little interventions on Queen’s Speech day the highlight of the whole affair, and always wait with bated breath to hear his latest witticism. Once again, I wasn’t disappointed. “Double Dip Recession, great start”. Genius, a great Parliamentarian. I think I may have wet myself laughing. Or maybe my cholostemy bag burst. Either way, I’m happy for another year.
meanwhile in guardian land as i predicted the comment section on the nine muslims closed last night has been hidden from view and difficault to find if you wish to comment. dont worry the page will be airbrushed from view as the guadian is taking a pasting over this. The independant wont allow comment to Yasmi Ali-browns article so move along nothing to see.

The problem is that no police officer or social worker wanting promotion wants a case like this as it can mean no promotion and being sidelined
I hate this country which has given me an education, jobs and lots of money. Death to the west.
Why dont you whinge about this on your on blog, Jesus Christ, Most peple here are obbsessed with Islam.
I think you will find that it is the Islamist faction who are obsessed with imposing their cultural nihilism on the west. Not the other way around.
To be fair, the Graun article, while off the front page, is still open for comments and currently up to 12 pages.
They are taking a heavy thrashing for that dire article through.
It’s amusing that some have noted the absence of the ‘usual posters’ (stanch defenders if Islam) and it is assumed they are ‘washing their hair’.
Particularly notable by his absence is that sanctimonious little c unt (Saint) Berchmann.
worth keeping on the bbc’s case over their deliberate attempt to portray the muslim perpetrators as ‘Asian’, thus wrongly implicating a number of completely blameless sectors of society – probably an offense against some poor Hindus’ human rights.
It’s the MSM’s way of diverting and obfuscating attention from the re@l problem and tarring innocents by association.
That way if some thicko vigilante mob take matters into their own hands because the police and media will not do their respective jobs.
They can all let slip the dogs of racism if some hapless innocent Sikh, gets bashed up in a misguided retaliation.
The MSM and establishment are utterly contemptable.
Them thar Gurkhas is Asian innit. Joanna will be VERY cross and will give us all a good finger wagging.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
Spot on then – spot on now!
That Churchill chappie should go far.
and the tories offer what exactly? what do they stand for? what is their philosophy?
what is their philosophy
There’s your problem right there. Why does any party need a ‘philosophy’? Can’t they just do a proper job without trying to shoe-horn whatever needs to be done into some fucking ‘philosophy’?
Well that depends whether “philosophy” is some sort of coherent guiding principal, rather than a PR gimmick.
Even Blair’s “Pretend not to be too much like the Labour party so we get re-elected” was more coherent than “Big society”.
Stupid Huhne alert! Socialist onanist asking dumb questions in the hope of getting a rise!
Move along now Sir, nothing to see here. Move quietly, or I’ll fuck you up real bad with my truncheon, there’s a good Sir.
damn! I’ve got it!!!
Tory philosophy – found amongst old scrolls in Eton playground – “Where there’s no sense, there’s no feeling”
Yerss… (Paxman-esque drawl) bit of a stupid cliche, don’t you think?
How many, caring, touchy feely, Hi Guys, sofa cabinet meeting LieBore Party MP’s has anyone met? 2….maybe 3, in their entire life?
Bliar – 1.5 million dead and counting – some of them, too many of them, ours, which is even more shameful.
Brown – Funded the above without a fucking whimper – turn a blind eye, did he?
Brown (Again) – Sold gold, bought Euros. Sold UK economy, bought Goldman Sachs permission to clean their corporate arses with our tongues.
Rendition? Multiculturalism? 50% tax rate that cost more to administer than it brought in? Going after bankers bonus’s in the press, but privately encouraging them, because the Treasury makes more from personal income tax & NI than it does on corporation tax…. treating the public like the muppits they will be if they let them anywhere near the national cheque book again
In your stupid, hammer and sickle dreams you deluded, irrelevant fucking twat!
Labour policy – take from all that have worked and saved, give to all that have scrounged, skived and couldn’t give a shit, borrow the difference, and fuck the elderly, disabled and the genuinely ill.
You do know that all the garbage spewed from millitwats mouth is written by the unite union
Yes, so what would you do Molesworthiband 1? Tell me, oh do, oh do, oh say you will!
(zooms off acros the foopball pitch making noise like a Comet and bombing the skool dog – Harriet Har-Doberman. Pockets huge wad of moolah for his padres, chiz chiz chiz!)
Takes me back to happier days when the country was less polluted (or maybe I didn’t recognise it then).
Any mention of gay marriage in Queen’s Speech?
You had a speech from our No.1 queen, what more do you want.
Yep – she said all three of hers have tried it to hide the truth.
Whenever he opens his mouth it’s just white noise…….
er what about all the NHS “workers” ppulling a sickie?
Just check the sickness absence in the public sector and copare it with rates in the private sector and ask yourself, why?
Unite and milliwit will tell you all the sickies in the public sector are the result of “stress”. And is stressful wondering if you’ve ticked all the boxes and filled your quota of one legged lesbians.
But not half as fucking stressful as paying for it all by fighting for a deal against the ruthless foreign competition. With fuck all support from the public sector thanks very much.
… and what about all the NHS fatties?
After the Bali bombing the BBC (or some news agency) tracked down the ‘mastermind’ behind it.
‘Do you have any message for the families of those killed in Bali?’
‘Yes’, he said. ‘Convert to Islam’.
That is exactly the same mindset of the likes of Bob Crow.
‘Bob, have you any message for those people who are being inconvenienced by your constant strikes and who are doing much more difficult jobs for half the money as your tube dr*i*vers?’
‘Yes. Join a union.’
C*unts.
+ !1!√ 10/10!
Listen you rife raff “Don’t Do as I Do, You will Do What I Say, if you know whats best for YOU, We will all work for UNISON !!”
Intolerant of people who are skiving off?
When is the Maximum Imbecile getting called in and handed his P45 then? Though I dare say he’ll have showed up today to languish in his ‘special’ status (I used to be PM you know – saved the world I did) and for a handshake with Queenie.
Well they would say that wouldn’t they. When the real truth is that the plod were slow, very slow to act for years because they did not want to upset the Moslem community.
Yes, the Left must do all they can to blame everyone else bar themselves for hiding the rape and abuse of hundreds of children across England, allowing it to continue for decades. Lefties – the paedophiles’ friends.
No doubt the story is more complicated than that.
If the B&P and EDL hadn’t kicked up such a stink about all these muzzie grooming gangs it would still have been brushed under the carpet by PC Plod. So for once in your life try and grow a brain and give credit where it is due and stop following the MSM line like a bloody sheep.
the issue is the BNP leader tweeting some of the verdicts when all the verdicts were not in. The jury nay have delivered part verdicts when called back and then gone on to consider others
The unnamed 59 year old called the courts racist and said he did not reconise the justice.
As i said before the reason why no social worker or police wanted to deal with this is because thier careers would be finished if a complaint was made. The plod in bradford are very carefull in dealing with some members of the community
It is truly disgusting Will. Who said no-one is above the Law? Feckin poppycock!
Whatever you may think of the B&P, they have been trying to highlight the problem of Muslim sex gangs for years. I remember the left vilifying them for bringing this out into the open. I also seem to recall West Yorkshire Police pressurising Channel 4 to pull a documentary on this very subject a few years ago. My memory may be at fault but I’m sure they bowed to that pressure.
This problem has been going on in Northern towns and cities since the 1970s and no one in authority has had the backbone to deal with it. Shame on the establishment for trying to sweep it under the carpet in the name of “community cohesion”.
As I have said elsewhere, if you live in the Midlands Oxford is NOT in the North.
Is this the same NHS that provides the first 6 months of sickness at 100% pay, followed by the next 6 months at 50% pay? And the same NHS that has a back to work interview process that says after 2 episodes you have to be interviewed but doesn’t differentiate between someone taking 2 x 1 day sickies and 2×6 month sickies.
Is this the same NHS that has had these policies (plus many more) since Labour were in power?
If you had a serious accident and were unable to work you would of course be happy to have your salary stopped immeadiately? That would be a sign of a modern society?
They must be terribly dangerous places these hospitals. What with all the serious accidents occurring in ‘em necessitating six months off.
Indeed they’re so unsafe that if it were a building site the HSE would have shut them all down by now with sickness rates like that.
Are NHS employees not allowed to go onto roads, either as drivers, passengers, cyclists, etc?
Of course they are but you have to ask yourself this ….
1. Is 6 months at full pay, followed by 6 months at half pay to much or to little?, and does this large amount of time actually contribute to long term sick behaviour?
As having some knowledge of the NHS I know the answer compared to the private sector
So NHS employees are worse dr*i*vers, pedestrians and cyclists than the general public?
Twice as bad on average in fact. It’s possible. There are an awful lot of ‘asians’ employed by the NHS and I’ve seen those fuckers dr*i*ve.
Woweee! Got a skin complaint then Noncymous? Itches does it?
In the private sector sick pay is typically 21 days at 100% and that’s it other than SSP.
I wonder how people in the private sector cope? Oh yes that’s right by having less skivers
factory workers and shop workers are paid by the hour, not the month, not the week, the bloody hour mate. You don’t work you don’t get paid.
Precisely my point.
Note that I did use the word typically for my description of the private sector and that the range is from zero to something bigger than zero.
But do you not agree that if you are not paid to be off sick (whether that is right or wrong) that you are less inclined to be off sick?
It’s not just the NHS. I once worked in a place that allowed staff 11 days a year Self Certified Sick. More than five consecutive days needed a Doctor’s Note, otherwise no questions asked. There were certainly people who just regarded that as 11 extra days Annual Leave, no prior permission required.
Self-certification is a legal right.
Workhouses were closed a long time ago.
It is if you’re genuinely ill. It’s not if you just fancy a day off.
It’s the law of unintended consequences. Most folk are pretty decent and wouldn’t dream of taking a day off work just to go shopping. But (as Ben Elton said) ‘If he’s going to do it then I’m going to do it.’
If you have ineffective safeguards and a culture of piss-taking then you end up with Public Sector workers taking twice as many ‘sick’ days as private sector and entire towns in North Wales on the dole.
Which is where we find ourselves.
Do these ‘decent’ people never go above the speed limit, or not pay their licence fee, or break the law in other relatively trivial ways?
Why do we respect some laws and not others? Who decides what is good and bad? In fact – isn’t that why we have laws in the first place?
Is that how you justify it to yourself? Since nobody can ever be 100% compliant with the law I shall phone in sick today and let some other poor c*unt pick up the slack. Is that what you tell yourself?
Such as?
I’m self certified
‘workhouses were closed years ago’ – more’s the pity.
They’ll be back if the Tories have anything to do with it.
Oooh, get her.
Sounds like Australia.
Nope. Britain.
To give the management their due, they knew full well (as did everyone else) who the main culprits were. Things like that were kept in mind when promotions and plum assignments were being offered.
Only now, having a criminal record is no longer a prerequisite – they won’t let you in WITH one, the two faced bastards!
How to upset an Australian
Ask them what their Grandparents were convicted of
Is there any truth in the rumour about what really happened when Millitwat was circumcised………
What?
That they threw the best bit away?
Not content with being idiotic xenophobes, I see you fuckwits are getting stuck into some antisemitism today.
Isn’t the handle The Provinces awfully Parochial? By your rational you are a racist
Am I fuck.
Not racist at all- we take the piss out of everyone everything they represent, regardless of race, gender or sexual deviancy.
I’d call that multi-f.ucking-cultural inclusion.
Ah, this morning’s early entry in the race to find offence.
I’m not so much offended as think your a brainless shite that needs a flame or two to remind you of your inherent depravity.
Flame?
Call that a ‘flame’? Nope. It’s just standard bedwetter practice. Don’t like the message – then just take offence at some manufactured ‘racist’ or ‘sexist’ angle.
Can’t say they’ve not been successful though. It frightened Plod away from addressing this ‘Asian’ grooming for years. Still, just a little collateral damage that was necessary to ensure that only certain subjects are up for discussion.
Do J*e*w*s not make that joke amongst themselves?
‘Hey Moshe, you thick c*unt, when they circumcised you they threw the best bit away?
J*e*w*s don’t say that?
They should.
They normally keep the foreskin to be made into a purse for the boy at his Bar Mitzvah – so when he goes to University, all he has to do is stroke it and it turns into a duffle bag.
Since May 2010, I’ve turned up to work about four times.
You may have turned up four times. The amount of ‘work’ involved is somewhat debateable, however.
It would have been so much better if he’d only turned up twice a year from 1997 onwards. It was his tireless commitment to fucking everything up that left us in such a dire economic position.
For the Maximum Imbecile (as for other politicians) less is indeed more.
This is (sadly) all too true.
Millitwat should tell disgraced ex Labour MP Margaret Moran his views about people throwing sickies.
Grooming.
brush, clean, coach, comb, curry, dress, drill, educate, lick into shape, make attractive, make presentable, nurture, preen, prep, pretty up, prim, prime, primp, put through grind, put through mill, ready, refine, refresh, rub down, shape up, sleek, slick up, smarten up, spiff up, spruce up, tend, tidy, train, turn out.
There must be a more appropriate word.
Invent one it may make its way into the Urban Dictionary and ultimately……
The term may be already here – http://www.viz.co.uk/profanisaurus.html
I can’t decide at the moment whether Millipede Minor is making noises he doesn’t really believe to try and impress swing voters, or whether he realises that Labour have been often getting it spectacularly wrong by feather-bedding the public sector and bleeding the private sector dry to pay for it (or bleed the private sector dry and still not manage to pay for it all, given the current deficit).
He may well have twigged – getting the loonier element of his party (e.g. Ed Balls) to accept the blindingly obvious may take some time.
Miliband, being the good socialist he is, is posturing for maximum effect among what he imagines are ‘swing’ voters.
He evidently does not recall himself, that he was a member of a government so bad, it will take twenty ye@rs to recover from it’s fiscal criminality.
Add into that his very own baby, toxic climate change bollocks, at a cost of £780+ billion and you see why Miliband and his mob of crony thieves, are unfit for high office ever again.
So Egg Miliband reckons you have to be really sick to work for the NHS.
Cracking cheese, Gromit!
While many of the posts are rightly attacking the Guardian for its apologist piece on the muslim rapists, there’s still a fair few hand wringing lefties saying we shouldn’t tar all muslims with the same brush. I can’t stand these fucking islington middle class lefties with their “it’s their culture” bullshit.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/08/asian-sex-gangs-on-street-grooming
I wonder when the guardian will close the comments page. it been removed from the front page and Cif front page so trying to bury bad news
This is priceless… In Queens Speech
The adoption process in England will also be reformed to end delays and place less emphasis on the ethnicity of the child
errrrr the 27th time this policy has been announced
Maybe we could give them all a laptop too.
mobbed…oh dear
U used a norty werd. Nex time try “pr*celess”. usualy werks ok.
Are you on LSD ??
Empty rhetoric.
His comments have been misunderstood, and he has misspoken.
This speech was never cleared by his union minders and therefore never happened.
Now move along, nothing to learn, and no change in social policy. Public sector workers are saints and must never be removed from the payroll, even for the most vilest of crimes, unless that is they votes Tory, then they must be reviled and sacked.
If the QS is a fight back….you’re f*uck*ed.
Fucked you mean?
My a lefty love in – how very 1960′s
I love the irony of seeing medieval ragheads shopping at Tesco or M&S. Muzee fuckwits spending money at two highly successful Je wish owned chains. Whilst muslims blow themselves up or blame all their woes on Je wish people, Je ws actually contribute to the world and make a success of their lives. If arabs spent as much effort on bettering themselves and their lives as they do on raping children and blaming Je ws for everything, they might have a chance at leading a decent life instead of being fat bearded halitosis ridden fanatics stuck in the dark ages worshipping a schizophrenic illiterate child molester.
Pro – I have read every word very carefully, twice. Damn it, I can’t even find a punctuation mark I disagree with!
+579 (years behind the Western world)
Nice one Pro. All true.
I hate the way the effn*cs touch/squeeze all the fruit & veg and then decide not to buy them. Dirty, plain dirty.
The French do that as well – it stops the seller ripping you off with inferior stuff. Washing it before eating is always preferable, as rats and birds have a habit of using both as toilets, and that’s worse than a strangers mitts for me!
An interesting contribution, but not quite accurate because not all Arabs (NB: capital A) are of the Mohammedan faith. Hope that helps.
Yep and 4% of Palestinians are Christian, and Bethlehem is in Palestine. And JC was (if there WAS just the one person and not a collection of JC’s, rather like Robin Hood, or none at all, take your pick) was a J.ew, born in Palestine.
And not all Muslims are Arabs – In fact the majority are not.
Another week without PMQs? Do these C*nts actually do anything?
No, of course not. If called on to do work they simply use the old ‘it’s not a top priority right now’ excuse and trip back to the Bar.
Or to the latest teenage girlfriend. Boaz.
why rochdale ringleader not named ..suggestions might be the local immam????
You ingerlish idiots gave me a knighthood. A man who called for the destruction of is rael. Tee hee! This is our country now, infidel dogs!
It’s more likely he is still to be tried for some other heinous crimes and naming him now would prejudice any forthcoming trial. I expect after the completion of all his trials we will get to know who the vermin is.
Finally a Judge with some balls!
He said “The girls were chosen because they were NOT of the community or religion of the men”
He also went on to say that Greater Manchester Police were wrong and race was of significance in this case.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The Judge has now been sent to a three day reeducation camp, sorry, I mean three day diversity workshop so he can learn the error of his ways.
oh fuck there will be hell to pay over judgys comments
Judge Clifton will be called in and advised that he didn’t have the ‘full facts’ and his resignation has already been written out and he has only to sign it.
Is he another divide and rule honky motherfucka? I’ma bust a cap in his white ass!
It’s the new style of government : Hypocracy!
