Winter of Discontent (202)2

Johnson was willing to stand on his doorstep giving them the clap.

I wonder how many nurses and paramedics have gold leaf wallpaper.

Don’t believe it. Did you check their citizenship status?

People with very British accents are almost always British citizens.

But motties anecdotes are more accurate than anybody else's

 

[^woody^]

People with very British accents are almost always British citizens.

What about people with Jamaican or African accents?

I find that when I ask "Where are you and your people from, Kingston or Kampala?" they say "No man, I'm from [insert UK urban area]"

So your assumption of determining nationality based on accent is, if I may be so bold, stereotyping at best, passive racism at worst.

I think you might be referring to Londonese. The appropriate answer is wagwam fam, ma ends are brum kotch. If they ask again say brov are you chirpsing?

In other news, the government is damaging the country by worsening industrial disputes and prolonging strikes.

They must be trying to stir up conflict.

"UK ministers blamed for blocking possible rail strikes deal
Government prevented higher pay offer and added tougher conditions on working practices"




"RMT general secretary Mick Lynch on Thursday said the Rail Delivery Group, which represents the train companies, had suddenly been told by the government last weekend to ask unions to agree also to a widespread move to “driver-only operation” across the network — where drivers instead of guards operate the doors on all carriages.



One industry figure described the intervention as “a clumsy mis-step” that exacerbated the situation.

Lynch said the change was so unacceptable for the union that “they might as well have come in with a fish and slapped me round the chops with it”.

“There is no prospect of a resolution. Not at the moment,” he added."

In other news, Unions are choosing the worse possible time to inflict as much damage to the country for selfish gains, forcing the government to increase taxes on people who have no job security and lower pay.

Yes. It certainly seems that our go'v'nmt actually wants the coming conflict.

But to what purpose? And when will that become clear???

the worse possible time

You're not a supporter of a free market economy, then

 

[JohnD]

Yes. It certainly seems that our go'v'nmt actually wants the coming conflict.

Elderly Conservatives, readers of the Express and the Mail, and Motorbiking, are keen on old-fashioned class warfare, and like to see representatives of working people as the enemy.

This will distract attention from the damage to the nation caused by their government.

 

[motorbiking]

Lies

 

[JohnD]

Inflation tops 13%

Workers ask for pay rise.

"How unreasonable!" squawks Motorbiking.

 

[motorbiking]

Why don't you research the avg. pay rise people in the Private sector with no job security or defined benefits pensions are getting?

You will find it significantly less than the deal the Rail unions have rejected.

Who will pay for this bloated union pay deals?

Well bless my cotton socks, Woody has gone all Woke.
