THE STATE GOES ON STRIKE!
Monday, June 23, 2008 at 07:13PM It's thirty years since Britain last suffered a crippling strike by Public Sector workers resulting in household rubbish going uncollected and the dead left unburied. Socialism in action for those of us able to remember those dark days. That event marked the death knell for the Labour Government and ushered in the Thatcher era! I see that Unison - the Trade Union representing many groups of key public sector workers - have now voted to go on strike. This may mean, and we must be brave and face into this prospect, that social workers cease their work. Thank God for that then ;-) I trust this strike proceeds as planned so the people of the UK can see just how greedy many in the State sector have become under their Zanulabour masters decade in power. Time to boot out Labour, shrink the State sector, and ensure social workers are employed more usefully - cleaning toilets? Bring the strike on - when it comes to many of these groups there will be no way of discerning that they ARE on strike!!!

Yes. 'The Winter of Discontent', as was.
As I remember it, people resorted to burning all their rubbish in their back gardens etc. Quite a stink.
If this becomes a summer of discontent, please think of all those warmed-up globalists and pollution monitors whirring around.
In a perverse way, I rather look forward to it.
30 years ago..... makes it !978.... the 70's are back, I guess.
Sky-high oil prices.
Global Climate alarmism ( WARMINIG instead of Global COOLING, but same difference)
Obama = Jimmy Carter
and news of Britain under siege from massive strikes.
Can someone remind me if there was anything particularly good about the late 70's that I can look forward to?

Why do you constantly repeat falsehoods no matter how many times they are demonstrated to be false?
Here it is, again:
THE MYTH OF THE 1970S GLOBAL COOLING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS.
I look forward to the return of Terry Jacks...
