The Government ‘s decision to “award” a one percent “increase ” to NHS workers is a disgrace and a. breach of its nightly TV broadcast to “PROTECT THE NHS” The Labour Party’s failure to support the Union’s claim for a 12.5 percent increase demonstrates the bankruptcy of the Labour Party as an opposition party. The Socialist Labour Party calls on the TUC and all trade unions to give full support including industrial action to our wonderful NHS and all its health and care workers. The SLP and its Leader Arthur Scargill have always given support including industrial action to NHS Doctors, Nurses, Cleaners, Ambulance staff and all sections of the NHS. The Socialist Labour Party calls for an immediate £20 billion investment in the NHS;
an immediate investment of £20 billion and an immediate 12.5 percent increase for all NHS workers who have seen over 600 of their colleagues lose their lives. NHS workers deserve the same commitment they gave unstintingly to us in the past year and every year. The SLP’s policy can be paid for easily. Scrap the Trident Nuclear Missiles programme and cut the insane arms programme by two thirds. The obscene amount we spend on means of death should be used on improving life. We should stop Private Hospitals, Private Doctors, Private health Schemes and stop GP Practices being owned by companies whose interest is profit not health care. For over a year we have been told “PROTECT THE NHS” – let’s start protecting the NHS by paying all its wonderful workers a 12.5 percent increase NOW. Arthur Scargill.

I warned that the UK and all its people would be facing a massive increase in people with a positive test result and that the death rate would be disastrous unless the UK had a complete lock down. A lockdown which shut down all pubs and all workplaces, except essential sections such as the NHS and food manufacturers where all staff should be provided with protective outfits covering them from head to toe. I also opposed any return to Schools, College’s and Universities which any fool would know they would be a breeding ground for this dreadful virus. Moving Areas or Regions up a grade will not stop the spread unless the UK adopts the methods which are used in China and a few (very few) other countries. This is to contain the virus with a drug to cure and a vaccine to prevent this dreadful disease. All testing should be undertaken by NHS Surgeries and NHS Laboratories. If China and it’s laboratories can test 9 million in 5 days then Britain’s National Health Service can test 67 million within 12 weeks, provided we provide the NHS with the billions of pounds the government is handing to private companies who put profits before people. In March/April the NHS came to our aid and millions applauded all the brilliant NHS staff who gave their all for us. It’s now our turn to return their sacrifice by providing the equipment and salaries to our wonderful Nationalised NHS. We can start by implementing a national lockdown, start a testing scheme through our NHS Surgeries and stopping the Multinational Billionaires from stealing our wonderful NHS. ARTHUR SCARGILL. 20/10/2020
