Missed the point. I was not referring at all to TRs. That particular
issue has no relevance to me whatsoever. I was referring to the rights
and wrongs of 'forced co-existence' :-)

I may very well take that step given the degree of the inability of the
profession to distinguish anymore between what is ethically and morally
right or wrong.

Sure. What is being offered to replace it is more perverse. The
replacement is only supported by a bunch of civil servants and
government lackies. As a result, PCGs will happen under duress.
The majority of GPs would have won a moral victory, civil servants and
lackies would have won a hollow one that does not command my respect or
deserve my energies.
Democracy corrupted, sans wine, sans song and sans singer.
Risk over and out.
