  1. “The question ministers will have to ask themselves is who voters are
    likely to blame as they watch teachers, nurses, university lecturers,
    civil servants, midwives – the list goes on – striking in their hundreds
    of thousands in the coming months.”

  2. No union (in all senses of the word) no rights.

    The Tory party is a union and so are many other organisations.

  3. My cousin works in a team of three doing the work of a team of eight. If that is roughly reflective of the national picture then it is no wonder public services are failing, it is certainly the case in the NHS. Cuts sound great in theory but they have real consequences that people do not realise until it affects them directly. Now we have had over a decade of them and some people still choose to blame those in the job than the government in charge of running them. The simple fact is that these strikes are all the Tories’ fault and it is time their voters owned to up to their part in bringing the country to a grinding halt.

  4. Also cant help but think the Tories are going to spin the incoming tax increases so that the public blame these unions for requesting more pay.

    “Had to raise taxes as we needed money to pay these greedy nurses” and unfortunately it’ll probably work.
