RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:UK petitionI meant to say the price increases were over a period of 6.5 years amounting to 260M a year. The problem is not paying junior doctors, it's finding and keeping them with that kind of pay. Might as well go train as a pipefitter, it's quicker and you'd make more.

The article Its taxpayers money so that is why its causing outrage there (socialists?) especially surrounding nhs cuts.
Craigbad/ They are going for 200,000 signatures it looks like from the online campaign before submitting it to Department of health. it shows 134,927 signatures now - won't take much with social media these days.

Not sure if the British system is like the american one where politicians are in corporate pockets. If it is hopefully Amco has some politicians paid off as it is unlikely any politician is going to stand against policy reform on this issue. If it isn't it will likely be politicians deciding what action to take and following through. Hope this helps. I see this unknown as a spoiler for a buyout but stranger things have happened.

Debates
Petitions which reach 100,000 signatures are almost always debated. But we may decide not to put a petition forward for debate if the issue has already been debated recently or there’s a debate scheduled for the near future. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you how you can find out more about parliamentary debates on the issue raised by your petition.
MPs might consider your petition for a debate before it reaches 100,000 signatures.
We may contact you about the issue covered by your petition. For example, we sometimes invite people who create petitions to take part in a discussion with MPs or government ministers, or to give evidence to a select committee. We may also write to other people or organisations to ask them about the issue raised by your petition.

Posting the Indian owners family picture with the rags to riches story based on so called ripping Nhs off. In times where discrimination against Muslims and Indian descend immigrants is at its peak. Really predatory and descriptive reporting antics. If you haven't heard you will very soon. lol for an embarrassing retraction from the times.
Please don't tell me that the mayor of London is Indian.
