Posties striking
Nurses striking
Ambulance drivers striking
teachers striker - schools closed - some in actual danger of physical collapse
Train staff striking - great swathes of the travelling public stranded - many unable to tell the difference between a strike day and a none strike day so shit is the normal service
Exports shrinking - food bank uses at record levels - food inflation in the teens % - Eurostar fucked - rumours HS2 to be dramatically scaled back
today the firefighters are voting to strike and they have had to admit they have spent years underfunding our armed forces to a degree it takes an American General to go public and say we can no longer defend our own islands
we are the only major economy to not have recovered to our pre-pandemic levels
They have spent 13 years hollowing everything out cutting back on everything originally based on the dogmatic political choice of austerity then since 2016 through the prism of Brexit - we are supposedly the 6th largest economy in the world. Where has the money gone? I'll tell you where - into the hands of the wealthy few who have squirreled it away off shore - all the cash that has been generated but its not put back into the economy - its certainly not paid in taxes that would fund public services and the armed forces - its not invested in infrastructure - in fact the only way private money gets involved in anything is if the public via the Govt will underwrite any risks they may be exposed to
Lets be honest in 13 years the Tories have well and truly fucked the country they profess to love having been aided and abetted by some fools at various ballot boxes
