I call it a non-offer as that is what it was, a non-offer. Nurses and other NHS workers would have STILL been paying more, for longer, to get less, with no comeback whatsoever. Plus they were being bullied into agreeing to it in double quick time, before it could be properly thought about. Whatever way you twist it that is totally and utterly unfair.
For a Govt that lauds 'fairness and due process', they sure don't like practising it themselves. If Unite had accepted this, it would have been a future green light to hammer home even more heart-breaking cuts for already underpaid and over-worked NHS employees. You have to fight force with superior force, it is the only language the oppressor understands. We will not take it. Strikes may be inconvenient, they may be bad for the economy, but what kind of argument is that when govt is taking hard working people's livelihoods away and leaving them in poverty AFTER working a 48hr week! If the choice is poverty or protest, what would you choose? Strikes here we come, I guess. The economy could do without strikes, but do we need them? Damn right we do.
Mark Serwatka was adamant on BBC HardTalk, last night, that the issue will roll on and on. If that is what it takes to ensure fairness for hard working ordinary people, disabled people, unemployed people, young people, single mums and children, all in order to bail out bankers for their colossal and criminal incompetence, then so be it. When we face declining public services, public transport rip-offs, schools facing closure, hospitals facing closure, libraries facing closure, rising food prices, rising fuel prices and disabled and unemployed people being victimised and bullied out of their sanity, then there really IS no other course of action. If Dave wants to be stubborn, then lets see how far down this rabbit hole goes. I don't see him swapping his Bentley for a Ford Focus, I thought we were all in it together Mr Cameron? Obviously not, that is just spin to push the Big Society. 'BS' is closer to the truth, if he wants an abbriv for the term. We the people can rest assured that we didn't cause this problem so we don't have nowt to apologise for when it comes to public protest. Bankers are not paying a price for their exploits, so why should we?
This blog is designed with the sole intention of informing people as to what a hateful, shameless party the Conservative Party are. The sooner everyone learns this, the sooner the nasty party will be consigned to the annals of history, alongside every other disgusting, oppressive, dishonest regime that imploded as a result of its own arrogance and blindness
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safetyBenjamin Franklin - 1775
