What's Any Forums's take on this? A general strike is imminent as a result of shitty wages and the cost of living crisis. Many people say it will bring down the tory government.
General strike looms as postal workers set to join rail unions in walking off the job
More than 115,000 Royal Mail staff are expected to take industrial action as Britain’s railways again grind to halt in August
This europoor thread's cherry has been popped by the United States of America. Enjoy my sloppy seconds.

Freemasonic leftists helping give Boris a pass for when it collapses and he can blame unions. The UK is a uniparty: Freemasonry

>Many people say it will bring down the tory government. Who gives a shit? Government goes down, media does some smoke and mirrors while the uniparty does some shuffling around so it can reform itself under a slightly different name and the niggercattle is satisfied and goes back to work.

Any proposed solution short of implementing the ethnostate is merely kicking the can down the road
Zachary Perry
Is that true? Demanding wages rise in line with inflation seems fair enough user.
Brandon Price
kek based

Also, if the Yellow Vest protests didn't lead to lasting positive change, these strikes sure as shit won't. At best they'll offer some token reforms that will delay the disappearance of the UK middle class by a few months.

Freemasons are pedophiles and homosexuals and every unclean work proceeds from their gentile form of satanism(judaism).

Why should the private sector tax payers help increase bloated state worker pay while they get crushed?
Robert Jones
I'm more concerned about the fact that apparently 0.2% of the entire British population is employed by Royal Mail.
Ian Smith
All of it should rise in line with inflation across the board, I'd encourage the whole lot to take action for this.
Jack Bailey
One bastard goes in, another one comes out.
Joshua Parker
Starting to think something else is afoot, the US trains are talking about strikes in July now too.
>What do lockdowns and work from home reduce transport and traffic >What do rail, postal/logistics and transport strikes reduce transport and traffic
Maybe this pandemic and the inflation and the strikes are for a reason, to reduce traffic, but why?
Is peak oil a thing? is this why russia invaded ukraine, is oil running out? is this why they seemingly dont want people to travel as much, is this why the borders are open because 90% of africa is going to starve to death?
>3.2% of the ENTIRE POPULATION OF GREAT BRITAIN is employed by the NHS U fokin wot
Logan Mitchell
It's deserved.
These guys worked through the Ching Chong murder virus without any ability to work from home or furlough. No pay rise or bonuses.
You people want wagies to rise up, here it is. The problem is the media is blaming the strikes on the workers claiming they earn a load while Bojo keeps doing to fix any of the UK's problems.
Aaron Wilson
What if all that money printing is subsidizing oil and petroleum, but prices are creeping up as the supplies become harder and harder to refine and produce?
What would happen if oil was $1000 a barrel? would food/production and general costs increase 10 fold?
Was the vaccine designed to sterilize the children of those who took it, we wouldnt know for a generation.
Hunter Hernandez
Reducing transport and traffic reduces fuel and power consumption, which saves money nowadays.
Benjamin Ramirez
That's 5.2% of the working age population. Literally 1 in every 20 people between the ages of 18 and 64 are employed by the NHS. How is that even fucking possible?
Ian Ward
I agree with labour strikes if only because employers constantly flout the agreements made with their employees to the point that the agreements themselves are practically nonexistent in the context of providing a benefit for the employee. If an employer wants to hold his employees to an agreement made mutually, then the employer shouldn't get pissy when employees attempt to hold them to the same agreement.
That being said, I don't blindly support unions as they've become bloated, bureaucratic, and corrupt shadows of their former selves. They constantly avoid properly representing their members in order to curry personal favour with employers, appropriate member funds for woke nonsense movements that have absolutely no bearing on positively affecting labour circumstances for members, and just generally do a god-awful job of what they were originally intended to do because people realized that they could use cushy union positions to slack off and avoid responsibility.
Jackson Miller
Exactly, its almost like this is by design, but why? almost the entire world closed down for almost 2 years, suddenly out of the pandemic tons of countries now have strikes first hitting the very transport systems that had massively reduced capacity anyway? airlines collapsing under the strain and so forth its almost like they dont want people to travel anymore
Is none of this about a virus at all, is the inflation actually way higher than we know but the governments are subsidizing it? is the russian invasion a resource grab? why are countries allowing unfettered immigration from poor countries into western ones?
all of this would make sense if peak oil was a thing, reduction of energy use by limiting transport, the immigration thing would be desirable because places like africa and south america would undergo much more rapid demographic collapse due to famine, disease etc.
How much of africa would die off if oil cost $1000 a barrel?
Landon Torres
fuck the tories but these cunts striking already get well above the average wage and are fucking lazy fuck the unions and fuck boris
Landon Myers
worst part is that over 50% of the NHS workers aren't even in a direct caring role. the NHS is plagued by middle management issues
Austin Gutierrez
Africa isn't as reliant on fossil fuels as Europe. Obviously not because they're some magical nuclear and hydropower Wakanda, it's simply because they use a fraction of the energy Europe does.
Jackson Williams
Whats something else all the countries around the world seem to be really upset about
Tobacco!!
Whats a factor for tobacco farming? high energy useage!! tobacco flue curing uses a shit ton of energy, tobacco use was high globally just 25 years ago, its fallen off a cliff.
Carson Price
true but most of the world exists on $2 a day, what happens if that increases to $4 or $6 or $8 or $10, how many hundreds of millions of people potentially billions would die of famine?
Why would a nigger from some sub-saharan shithole get impacted by high oil prices? He farms his own food or works in a mine, and walks to the market and back.
