    British Army personnel to begin training to replace ambulance workers who are striking from Dec 21st-28th, despite union guarantees of the required emergency coverage…

    I mean, I’d rather soldiers provided emergency services, but not to break strikes. Fortunately for the strikers but unfortunately for the global south, this is just a publicity stunt. Either that or it will backfire terribly when it becomes clear that two days of training does not turn someone trained to kill into a parametric. It’s also telling that these soldiers did not already have significant basic medical training.
