Strike!

[madzone]

Not sure if this has been posted-if it has apologies. The Daily Mail are running a poll for one day only-asking if people support the strikes. As of a few minutes ago-support was running at 79%. I voted....felt dirty....but Ive done it.

This'll take you straight there:

I sometimes vote on their polls when I REALLY don't have anything better to do.

 

[Grandma Death]

Whats interesting is Ive not seen any internet campaigns to get people to vote-well least if there has been any I've not seen them.

Ahh - got it - thanks.

I got into a bit of a debate with 'someone' earlier. I didn't go int uni today depsite the studios and the technical workshops being open. I would have been working in the technical workshops where the technicicans decided not to strike. I don't support their decision as I feel it undermines the rest of the union members who did decide to strike so I didn't go in. I also have a problem crossing a picket line - even if it's not me on strike iyswim. The person i was arguing with says I'm daft because my union wasn't striking. Am I daft? Is my support pointless?

In a nutshell no.

No, not pointless. You took a principled stand, and in my view the correct one.

Er, yeah...love you too Mr.Bishie.

There's something strangely Pythonesque about it.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Far more ridiculous imo

Oh that's the beast! I surprise it didn't kick anything off I seen smaller ones in the past but nothing of this size. They were protecting Whitehall,The Mall and Trafalgar Square.

Hello
I am a neewbee to all of this,only found this site a week ago.....about the same time I suddenly decided to have a definate(if poss) political view. I am a nurse and had to think very hard about what to do with this strike,however the autumn statement managed to clarify how I felt and left work this morning 3hrs early so pissed off!!this is a government who wants to encourage people to go out and work??.....I"m finding it very hard to believe when most of my patients get more in benefits than I do working every shift man sends and then gett to pay tax on my SMALL pension and receive no benefits when I retire and if I'm really lucky get to pay tax on what is left ... AGAIN.......I am furious!
Sorry 4 any spelling mistakes,don't have computer,can't afford one,and it's like working with a postage stamp on my mobile.

I'm glad you're pissed off about what the government is doing, but just to say, the above statement is almost certainly not true. Possibly you've been listening to people who like to make stuff up. In general, one of the reasons governments like to attack benefits is to get people to work for even less (even for free right now), and that means the attacks on benefits will in the long run lower your wage.
