Surely you can distinguish between the validity of the tactics and the objective?
Yes, I agree the banners and PR were emotive and misleading in cases - but they kept mainstream public opinion onside long enough to drag that piece of sh1t Jeremy Hunt back to the table to do what he should have done in the first place - propose a fair settlement for the re-definition of the working day and rates which reflect the personal/family disruption & costs (childcare) of weekend working. Anyone who thinks that doctors are overpaid is, I am afraid, driven by envy and lacking in understanding of what it takes to qualify for, and do, that job. (No, I'm not, if anyone wonders).
Who cares about the tactics - the right result prevailed. Well said sir. +1. Very much agreed +2

Who cares about the tactics - the right result prevailed. I can distinguish between "tactics and objectives". I suppose my point was between "honesty/integrity" and "dishonesty/duplicity" from the members of a proud profession where "integrity" is a their core value in how they practice.In addition they also used this "morally" based attack on Hunt (whom I also dislike)to question his ethical integrity and objectives for the taxpayers who use and pay for the NHS. As I said in my original post I had no objection to their "right to strike" but their sanctimonious evangelising about their "moral" reason for striking is what disappointed me.You got some TT support for the "anything goes tactically" in terms of industrial action tactics as long as you get what you want. Is that principle just OK for Doctors (denying people health care, operations etc) using, to quote you "banners and PR were emotive and misleading" or does it also include Rail Workers, Air Traffic Control workers, miners, steel workers.police etc? Back to the future- 70s hear we come.
