Siobhan

I spoke to Lewis Goodall as a UK nurse who has voted for strike. I explained why we felt this decision was justified

Please consider a reblog for me as I'm pretty new here

@nhsactivistrn

It is really heart felt ❀️

Like most 66 year olds, I’ve had a few health scares in my life and I’ve always been so grateful for all the medical staff who helped me recover ❀️

Also, I’ve never had such contempt for a Westminster government that has never and still doesn’t represent either Scotland or Wales.

Both countries need independence now 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@nhsactivistrn What an excellent interview. Good luck Siobhan. Completely backing your strike, and totally agree with you - it's the Government choices and decisions over the past 12 years that have led to nurses striking for the first time in 106 years.

@nhsactivistrn No explanation required - we all know how hard the NHS staff worked during the pandemic. And then to be made such a poor offer is an insult.

The country is backing you more than you realise.

Show threadadrinuxNov 29, 2022
@nhsactivistrn boosted this one but it'd be helpful if you used a content warning (CW) - something along the lines of 'UK nurses strike' - because my instance has a more international community and I'm wary of boosting UK specific stuff without a CW.
Show threadSiobhanNov 29, 2022
@adrinux A content warning? Do you mean like if something is violent or sexual?
Show threadadrinuxNov 29, 2022

@nhsactivistrn no no, most mastodon instances would ban that outright!

You'll have seen posts with the large text which you click to reveal the full post. It's that.

The CW button in the bar below the edit box on the web version.

The NHS strikes aren't that relevant to say USA or German computer nerds and if I boost your posts they'll end up in the local feed, so I tend not to boost unless there is a CW.

Show threadSiobhanNov 29, 2022
@adrinux Ah right yeah I'm just new so getting the hang of it all I will add a cw to it now
Show threadSiobhanNov 29, 2022
@adrinux right I think I've done it but at my end it only seems to hide the text not the video πŸ€” is that correct?
Show threadadrinuxNov 29, 2022

@nhsactivistrn looks good, it blurs any image or video preview until you tap to view.

There's no hard and fast rule for using a CW - I'd hate to think it restricts the reach of your posts, so maybe try a few with and without, see what happens.
