The issue isn’t the current government, the issue is all the people (such are yourself) putting down striking workers instead of supporting them and their cause.
Frankly, we’re long overdue a general strike. But the British public are such masochistic pussies that it probably will never happen.
i fail to see how suggesting people to be prepared for not getting what you want is putting them down. You say it like this doesn’t affect me. Half my family works/worked in the NHS. Admittedly only 1 is a Dr and she hasn’t striked because where she is, they didn’t get enough union votes to allow it.
Maybe its the fact i grew up with my father striking in the 80s (not the mines, dockyard. Didn’t work) been to enough protests, seen the inside of a police van too many times, and prefer to not go up before the magistrate again, that im jaded to it all.
But sure, lets all ignorantly cheerlead them on from the sidelines, right? 👏👏👏
I want to be wrong, but, mark my words, short of a revolution, nothing will happen. Partly because protests don’t work and partly because this country’s economy is circling the drain.

Just heads up, don’t expect a reply if you do.
