However, I do not wish to "ban religion" or that I hate religious people. That is a lie/misrepresentation I have to correct depressingly often.
About the cheap shot comment, well I still don't understand the point of asking me whether I am going to work on Easter because it is something that I have no control over, and to be honest being an official bank holiday my religious beliefs are also rather irrelevant.
Personally I think the religion thing is an excuse, a handy idea to tag your war onto - but thats not really the point.
I think you have to correct it because you do sometimes sound like you do, and it seems from this thread that I'm not the only one who see's it that way.
I've supported every justified strike going.
The council workers were promised something and didn't get it. The fire brigade were promised something and didn't get it. University lecturers were promised something and didn't get it. Liverpool dockers in the 1990s were promised something and were stabbed in the back. Peugeot workers were promised something and have been stabbed in the back.
They were defending their rights and their promises, and got my full support.
Unfortunately:
Isn't about striking for workers rights and you know it. It's striking for political reasons, its about blackmailing a democratically elected government into not fulfilling its manifesto pledges, and you damn well know it is.
I won't support the cunts who run the RMT in their blackmail and their inteference with democracy. Who voted for those twats to run the country, eh?
Were striking illegally about something that had nothing to do with them. On a hot and sunny August bank holiday. Convenient choice of timing, I must say.
I didn't see them on strike in February alongside the council workers, or in January alongside the Royal Mail workers, or in December with the gas fitters. I wonder why that might possibly be :chin:
Oh please.
They were greedy cunts attempting to blackmail a democratically elected government, and they very nearly succeeded in destroying this country. The engineering company my dad worked for went bust because of those cancerous snails, and my family were driven from the country.
But yes, I "hate" the "workers" [if you could call a 1970s trade unionist a worker ]
But no matter. If you want to believe that going on strike and losing money for no gain whatsoever to themselves is still "blackmail", feel free to continue.

:rolleyes:
What's the point of discussing anything about strike action with you, if you take the Daily Mailesque attitude that they're striking for a day off? :rolleyes:
Perhaps because people like you would be the very first to rant about how they are striking for people and industries who have nothing to do with them, and therefore doing it just to get a nice day off to go shopping and blah blah blah.
As you have indeed said in the past.
They just can't win with you can they?
Some scaremongering stories you got there. Ever thought at the situation from the other side?
