Militant Left-Wing Leader of Junior Doctors’ Strike is Ex-Public Schoolboy and Director of Multi-Million Pound Family Investment Company – Shock!
Dr. Robert Laurenson, the militant leader of the junior doctors strike who is on the front page of the Telegraph this morning after the paper discovered he is currently on holiday, is an ex-public schoolboy who’s a director of his family’s multi-million pound investment company. MailOnline has more.
Dr. Robert Laurenson has played a key role in plotting the devastating 96-hour industrial action.
He is currently absent from the picket lines because he had already booked time off to attend a friend’s wedding.
He is listed alongside his parents and brothers at Westholme Investments Limited.
The business currently holds over £2 million of investments and previously ran a Surrey golf course described as “one of the finest” in the county.
Dr. Laurenson, 28, was made a director in 2013, a year after he began his medical degree at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
It is understood he has no day-to-day duties with the firm and does not draw a salary or dividends and is not a shareholder, the Daily Telegraph reported.
He took a year out of his own medical training to work as a freelance medic for an agency.
He claimed he did so “for money and well-being” on his LinkedIn. Before reading medicine, he attended Sevenoaks School in Surrey, one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the country which charges fees of up to £46,566 for sixth-formers.
Now the trainee GP is co-chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA) junior doctors’ committee and is a key architect of their ‘juvenile’ strike campaign.

I wish that I could say that I’m shocked, but it would be a lie. Another posh, rich, thick-as-mince, shit-stirrer.
Yet another rich, spoilt, champagne socialist who champions the ever expanding state and the communist-death care system, to the detriment of the plebs. Squire, serfs, and all that. Yes indeed shocking. The impact on the millionaire from his activism – zero. How many times historically have we viewed the same.
It’s about bloody time Doctors and Nurses woke up. They know rock all about the C1984 and now they are allowing themselves to be manipulated by a poor, starving, millionaire apprentice – known as a chimp in the building trade – into strike action. Have this bloody mob not done enough damage to their flaky reputations these last three years? How much more damned stupid can they become? The country is on its arse while this entitled bunch feel they should be given a 35% pay rise after spending the last three years injecting the public with poisons. And continue to do so – except of course when they take time out for a tik tok video or two.
There is hardly a day goes by where I don’t think ‘the last thing I need is a doctor, witch doctor that is.’
What a useless gang of children.
“There is hardly a day goes by where I don’t think ‘the last thing I need is a doctor, witch doctor that is.’”
Or Doctor W.H.O.
A very simple way to settle this dispute would be to create a crime conspiracy with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm by passive aggression with a requirement to keep everyone charged of it in solitary confinement until trial to prevent further harm to the general public. And then start getting rid of these people top-down.
This is not an employment dispute with an employer who has something to lose because his competitors will start taking over his business if it’s left inactive for too long. It’s an attempt to blackmal the taxpaying public to cough up more money for these types on threat of withholding necessary medical care.
That’s obviously not going to happen as neither posh duckheads nor career criminals have anything to fear from the British police which prefers prosecuting people for being untoward towards paedophiles or drinking coffee in the wrong places, but it’s a nice idea. I don’t quite understand why this guy feels entitled to my money. But I know what answer he’d get from me.
Junior doctors are almost all very well funded, (upper-) middle class homegrown or foreign imports. Why not just boost the salaries of those who come from poorer backgrounds in the UK – like students grants used to be? The rest will still be able to shop at John Lewis and buy expensive bottles of fizz and Jo Malone to take away the smell of poverty after a short shift.
This is a manufactured problem like bird flu, egg production and net zero
We’re all sick of it.
Aren’t most revolutionaries from privileged backgrounds? Certainly the communist ones were. Many of the early Chinese communists, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Lenin all spent time in Paris.
Karl Marx knocked up the housemaid, didn’t he?
After the Biden Crime Family had finished with her.
Sevenoaks School is in Sevenoaks, Kent. Definitely not in Surrey.
Even so, tyke needs his arse kicking.
Well spotted Wilson wondered how long it would take you.
The Doctors nurses, teachers, train drivers all complain bitterly about the reduced value of their pay packets especially because of inflation. Which unions demanded that the economy must stop to save the NHS and that the government must use our money to pay people to stay at home? I also see Dr. Robert Laurenson is co-chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA) junior doctors’ committee.

This question has been at the forefront of the debate surrounding the virus and its impact across the country, with many now interrogating the decisions taken by the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. To help answer this question, in late 2021, the BMA conducted a call for evidence survey to set out the experience of the medical profession during the pandemic and to learn lessons for future pandemics. We found that widespread underfunding, coupled with poor decisions by governments, hindered the public health response, with the exception of the vaccination programme: – Public health systems across… Read more »
I work with doctors and they are collectively the biggest load of w*****s you could ever want to meet.
They and their colleagues around the world have just slaughtered millions over Covid and with the vaccines and they’ve still got the gall to demand a pay rise!
They think they’re God’s gift because most of the population are dim and put them on pedestals because they see them as the heroes who work tirelessly to help “The Envy of the World” NHS, ho bloody ho ho. Give the lazy bar stewards their £35K in exchange for contracting them to work in the NHS for 20 years (full time, not part time) before pissing off to surf in Oz. Then they can be given back their tuition fees, less a deduction for the time they spent hiding under their desks not seeing patients during the scamdemic.
“They think they’re God’s gift“
VETS are worse, is my experience over the last 3 years having been barred from two practices because I refused to go along with their absurd, ridiculous, nonsensical ‘Covid’ rules. They must have known they were b****cks but still treated the public with contempt. Good Germans (re a recent article in DS)
Is ANYONE surprised?
7 o’clock this evening…
Let’s all go stand outside and play happy clappy pan bangers eh? This ritual really needs to be restored for the people’s happiness.
But be careful not to hit yourself over the head with your pan or crack a wrist with your enthusiastic seal imitations.
FFS!
What a surprise – NOT! A wealthy tyrant masquerading as a working class hero to stir up trouble for everyone else – it’s people the same playbook from Rothschild’s cousin Marx onwards.
