Hoppinggreen · 01/02/2023 20:57

His name is Mick
It might be inconvenient and even a bit worrying but anything that shows this government for the shit show it is gets my supportb

Mimilamore · 01/02/2023 20:59

👍🏻

Cherrysherbet · 01/02/2023 21:01

I’m for it.

RosaGallica · 01/02/2023 21:12

Should have had it back in 2006 for most of the public sector, instead of the useless and shitty change management courses. Better late than never, for the young, although it is far too late to help those of us who have had this shit for 20 years or more.

stbrandonsboat · 01/02/2023 21:13

Yip, go for it. It could bring down the government. This bunch of psychopaths need to go.

VivienneDelacroix · 01/02/2023 21:15

I'm in. They think they can just put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes to the current strikes- I'm happy to give them a clear message.

ofwarren · 01/02/2023 21:15

About time
Totally for it

Sucessinthenewyear · 01/02/2023 21:16

What would a national strike entail?

Iam4eels · 01/02/2023 21:17

I'm all for it, see you on the picket lines.

Notplayingball · 01/02/2023 21:17

🙌 definitely a yes from me.

Heli1copter · 01/02/2023 21:18

Isn't our economy enough of a basket case already without the world seeing us go on strike as a nation?

Humphriescushion · 01/02/2023 21:20

Yup about time.

LET'S GO

This!!!!!!

We need a bit of French revolutionary blood in us tbh

DialsMavis · 01/02/2023 21:22

Please can someone spell out what this would entail? Would it only be for those in unions? Or everyone?

Galadriel90 · 01/02/2023 21:22

Marvellous idea 💡

Trinidading3 · 01/02/2023 21:23

Yes definitely, I mentioned this yesterday a full UK strike everybody down tools and computers...!!✊

WhiskersPete · 01/02/2023 21:25

Yes! It's Mick btw

Kendodd · 01/02/2023 21:25

They have an 80 seat majority, I wouldn't put it past them to make it illegal to strike. They're already trying to make it harder to protest and have their eyes set on the ECHR and the human rights act. I don't blame Tory MPs for the state of the country, they're just doing what they always do, I blame their voters.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 01/02/2023 21:27

Damn right!
look at FRANCE kicking up a fuss over raising the retirement age 2 years from 62 to 64.
You know shit has hit the fan when the usual roll over Brits strike and riot!
