Week in the UK. Good or bad

Tuesday was a day full of events in the UK. One of the biggest strikes by medics started , this Tuesday. While junior doctors were marching past Downing Street, EveryDoctor Wall of Support for them was launched. Hundreds of Britons wrote messages of respect and support for people who save our lives. Jeremy Vine on 5 debate show received rather clear answer on the question, " Are junior doctors' pay demands unreasonable? Junior doctors in England are striking for four days while asking for a 35% pay restoration. The Health Sec says the demands are "unreasonable" and that walkouts "risk patient safety". Do you agree? Or are you backing the doctors?" The majority of their followers in Twitter  spoke out in favour of the junior doctors. They also doubt in competence of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Hon. Steve Barclay. There is an opinion that four days is too long to medics' strike :   " No. I am backing the Doctors. Stev...

 On Monday, Rishi Sunak told what he promised to tell a day earlier. But Britons weren't convinced, anyway: " You are only doing this to take attention from the fact that you are allowing thousands more illegals into the UK and have done nothing to stop it.

That is a very sad story. It is not only about mental disorders of elderly people: "The article doesn't say she was poor. Some people, especially older people, have a big aversion to spending money, even when they can and need to. I'v...

 There were quite important issues on Tuesday. Yet, the most positive one was that the Mayor of London has announced a £3.5m one-off free meals scheme during school holidays and weekends for children from low-income families.    That was enough to move redditors. " Does anyone else remember when people were freaking out that Sadiq Khan was a Muslim and would destroy London? He really proved them right by building cycle lanes and offering free school meals."  "I’m happy for my taxes to pay for this. Not free for many of us but free for kids in need is a good thing, just a shame it is needed."

(i.e., tax money already committed) Then free nutritious meals is probably the number one thing across the entire UK that would yield the best return on investment. It...
