Let's argue about who hurts the most from this on going crisis. There are beneficiaries from this crisis, and if you think hard enough you will see that the beneficiaries are... the people who caused(engineered) the problem. And, the public is persuaded that it's their own fault and they must pay. Now together with controlled MSM the public is split into camps arguing with each other over which camp should be hit the hardest. All the while ignoring the causes, who caused them, and the who benefits from the wealth transfer up the pyramid.
Oh, "we are all in this together" .... The 95% are in it together to suffer for the crisis and the 5% are in it together with smoke and mirrors to baffle the 95%, and breath assured their lives as grasshoppers over the masses of ants is on course to get better. Pull the screen back, the wizard is just a man pulling levers, blowing whistles and releasing steam.

Snappy come back, FF. Debate with personal attacks, charming.

I'm getting a bit tired of the 'private sector workers dont have good pensions so public sector workers shouldn't either' argument. It's like saying 'next-door have been burgled so it is only fair that we take your telly too'.

On another note, any teachers able to enlighten me about the strikes in the 80s? I'm just curious because I remember them but dont know what they were really about. Just wondering if they achieved their aims?

ehhmmm - no there are not - just because someone has the right qualification does not mean they can teach. There is still a shortage of good mathematics teachers.

I miss the winter of discontent, as a kid the power cuts were an ideal opportunity to shoplift the pick and mix in Woolworth's if you timed it just right as the lights went out.

Happy evenings grilling sausages around the brazier with the firemens picket, the excitement of the ancient Green Goddesses going out.

Someone put a Vera Lynn record on...
