Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV.

Yes, that's right. I've been away for a little while, but guess what's happened?

The nurse's strike has been called off because suddenly somebody in the nurses organization, the RCEN, has seen sense.

But not in the doctor's place. No, no, no.

They've decided the 5% is not good enough for them.

They want an awful lot more, closer to 35%, even though most of them are on more than six-figure salaries. So they're going to bring the NHS to its knees once again in July for about a week because they hate patience. They hate the people of this country and they hate the job that they do.

Because let's face it, ladies gentlemen, the NHS is run on our money. Doctors are going on strike, okay? What that means is people will die. People will miss operations. People will miss procedures. People will miss the opportunity to make themselves well. Or because people who make 120,000 pounds a year, want another 35% because apparently they need to buy another Jaguar. Isn't that nice?

Not only is South East Water and Southern Water operating a host pipe ban,

but the head of Thameswater, after doubling her salary in a couple of years,

has finally resigned because apparently Thameswater was in so much debt.

They're literally drowning in it. See what I did there? I don't know what they're going to do.

But apparently water is in crisis in this country. Despite the fact that we live on an island,

surrounded by water, we live in an island where rain falls in the sky, the biggest rainfall in March since about 40 years ago. We can't keep any of it though,
