What is wrong with our society??? The police think an 11 YEAR OLD BOY failed to make proper observations to ensure he wasn’t going to be killed riding his bike to school 🤬

Agree but the govt also needs to commit to doctors’ employment. 52% of foundation year 2 docs unable to find employment in the NHS this August according to recent BMA survey. I’m sure lots of them would happily commit if they could!

I hate the ‘greed’ rhetoric. I’ve never met a doctor who went into it for the money. They’re hard working, committed, clever people who are asking for (not demanding) pay commensurate with the job that they carry out day after day, often at great personal cost.

For those south of the border and unaware, this is an entirely realistic policy proposal. Scotland trialled it and ridership increased by nearly 10%. They're making it permanent later this year:
