You couldn't make it up!

Pre Brexit: British workers will be paid higher wages. Post Brexit: Feck off.

No money for the likes of you, we’ve given it to all our Tory mates https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-lane-ppe-firm

Exactly, they have been trying to ruin Xmas and stop people coming together for the past 3 years. The great reset will implement a restriction on the free movement of people, and they want everybody to get used to the idea.

Just stop it mun, it’s embarrassing.

The RMT and whichever other unions are calling this strike may lose support. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a better way would be to follow what the Japanese bus drivers do - turn up for work but don't collect fares. This way the public are not impacted but the TOCs are hit in the pocket.

Often said and I agree but apparently it's against the law.

Never heard that before, but I like it.

That approach to industrial action is now over 100 years old. Fiat car workers in 1922 occupied their factories in protest at the actions of fascist death squads (just before Mussolini's March on Rome) but carried on production (managers locked out) and used the factory kitchens to provide food and shelter for the people of Turin. I think that was the inspiration for later 'work ins' and transport strikes where the trains and buses kept running but fares weren't collected. But as Claude says, I think it is illegal to do that here and now.
