General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I agree with what you say about the state of the country, and I am not anti-union, what I am saying is that the factors which caused strikes during the 1960s and 70s are back with us, with inflation increasing, so workers will want a wage which will keep up with the inflation, which if implemented, then causes prices to increase to pay for the wage increases, and so it becomes a vicious circle, and it is hard to stop, and I believe that this strike will be the first of many strikes, and I don't think that it is the fault of the Tories, if Labour were in power, then the same thing would be happening.

I don't lame folk for wanting a wage rise, which keeps up with inflation.

There is talk though, that the RMT is planning to spoil the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, by striking during the Jubilee, which if they do that, I will lose any sympathy I have for them, and I will hate them for it
