Originally posted by Cassius_Smoke View PostI just read that in Japan a bus service went on strike. But they continued to work and just refused to take any money from passengers. That would apply some real pressure. Can't replace the staff coz they are in the seats, but still losing money. Losing more money in fact because its using fuel.

Originally posted by fuse View PostPlenty of good clips of Mick Lynch doing the rounds on the TV circuit yesterday, articulately and firmly cutting through a lot of the nonsense being parroted about the strikes. Simultaneously though, very disappointing in light of the current Labour party leadership and the total lack of backbone.
Mick Lynch: "Well I don't think being able to catch covid is a particular qualification."

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.

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.

Originally posted by Golgo View PostI 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.
