So they dropped workers pay by 10% during the pandemic, and now refuse to put the pay back to NORMAL ****ing levels?! No wonder they are going on strike, that's bull****.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

It's extraordinary how Johnson didn't even bother campaigning at all but instead scurried off to hide in Rwanda. Not sure what to make of that, but 'out of touch' doesn't even begin to describe it.Comment

Wakefield and Tiverton/Honiton might, just might, well be a sign that suggests that the penny is finally beginning to drop for Labour and the Lib-Dems in terms of using tactical voting to oust the Tories.

I don't trust the Lib-Dems at all after their Cameron-era coalition shenanigans and immediate reneging on all key policies, but if a Lab-Lib coalition could oust this Tory cabal I'd be well up for it. I don't think I can take any more of these braying liars, snides and crooks.Originally posted by Nu-Eclipse View PostComment

Even if you could get everyone to read and sink in the explanation it likely wouldn't help. It still stands too much that they're 100% right to push back and fight what's happening but they're just one of a sea of work areas affected the same way or worse. The sympathy and support won't last. It'll be a 3-4% increase and that's all in the end at best. The Government will ensure the strikes effectively fail because of the ramifications if it succeeds. Those who think their jobs are at risk should get ahead of the curve, that axe is coming regardless.Comment

People do know what a coalition is, right? These are the ones where you don't get to enact all your key policies.Originally posted by Golgo View PostComment
