[Solidarity]

I know there are threads flying about all over the place re; the strike, but this is purely to register support - it would be great if we could keep it going until midnight on Thursday ( 30th June )

you don't have to say anything - just smile, like this

:)

they is scared, Hulls.

they needs to grow a pair

I support the teachers

NUT poster says

No cuts to pay or pensions

That feels to me as if it should say No custs to pay nor pensions

Am I right? It hits me as wrong but I am not a grammar expert. What do teachers think? I often add n to ors when I am correcting things.

Someone should direct them here. I don't think they realise that there is a huge amount of popular support for the teachers and other public sector workers cos they believes the pop meedja. And they is wanky cowardy custards.

Full support for the teachers and all other strikers (of which I am one). I am going to the rally near me.

They have my support.

Finally - a non-teacher bashing thread at last :) Gets my support but my union aren't striking

SHJ - there's no political party I can fully identify with anymore -
we need to pull together as people and send a clear message to all politicians - we're not going to be pawns in your political game -

YouGov man on Today Programme said public opinion is pretty much 50:50 at the moment

this indicates to me that the pro-teachers and public servants view should be reflected in Parliament. Labour should be looking at that rather than the front page of the Express.

:)

Exactly SHJ - Labour are too scared to show support for unions these days - they might lose a few middle England votes.

Teacher here (NAS so not striking yet) full support to all publiuc sector workers being shafted by the govt whilst fat cats and bankers still profit

Hear hear, chosenone. Fred Goodwin still has his pension!

:)

Absolute support to all striking today.
I wouldn't like to see teachers in their late sixties having to deal with difficult situations in schools.

I don't like this government's tactics. They did this with the benefits for people with disabilities, made a few mistruths get out there in the public domain and parrotted until it was perceived to be the truth so they could then just storm in there and do what the fuck they liked.

They're doing the same with public sector pensions. Disgusting individuals.

:)

You all have my full support

I don't see MP's relinquishing any hold on there EXTREMELY GENEROUS pensions!!!!! ...greed, absolute greed!

Vive le revolution

:) On behalf of many teachers who didn't really want to strike but felt they had to... thanks for all your support!

Good luck to all the teachers striking and all the public sector who are currently being bashed!!
Try a work to rule if this doesn't work, then people may appreciate how much you go 'beyond the call' on a daily basis!!
I support you all 100%
