Besides, it's looking like the Government wants this to be their Miner's Strike.

Looks like Mr Osbourne has been taking lessons from the American house of cards. At least we know who to blame if 'someone' throws a brick through his window.

I trust that the final decision on the name will be made by an impartial committee and the popularity of options is merely a suggestion to them?

It's the British way.

The new thread will be launching into a debate forum where we address global challenges that affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people, including global warming, the EU referendum, and the future constitutional status of the United Kingdom.

That’s why the moderation team want a name that lasts longer than a social media news cycle and reflects the serious nature of the discussion taking place. There are many excellent suggestions among options in the thread poll, and we’ll make a decision as to which one should be put forward for the official title when we’ve had a chance to review them all.

Change "Garden of Eden" to "Garden of Eton" and it's got my vote.

I was aiming for former Prime Ministers, not public schools.

It'd be so appropriate tho.

Well, a lot of past PMs graduated from Eton.

Do you believe we will make significant inroads into the implementation of an open and inclusive policy for the ethnocentrically homogeneous objectives of this thread?

Of course the important question that must be asked is.....does Sadiq Khan share her view?

I think the BMA proposal is quite reasonable, although I don't think they should get such a pay hike just for working on a Saturday unless it's part of a six day week.

Also I think there should be some sort of requirement to work In the NHS until they repay the cost of their medical training.

Most of them probably do. The pay hike is because Saturday is "unsociable hours". I would assume this is why the current rate has a range between 1.2x pay and 2x pay on a Saturday and Sunday.

This is one of the fundamental areas of the dispute - most, almost all doctors, work Saturdays. At least one per month. Some Sundays as well.
But working on a Saturday is working an unsociable day.

I noticed the Daily Express actually calls itself the world's greatest newspaper on the front. Wow.

It is unsociable hours, but a lot of people work on a Saturday. And getting 2x pay just because it's Saturday is an excessive extention of an already large pay check. It's also the problem of ensuring A&E remain open 24/7.
It would be intresting to compare doctors with other essential 24 hour services like police and fire fighters. One disadvantage for police is they can't go on strike.

I'm not against the doctors, but I can't approve of disrupting essential services.
