In the UK Nurses, ambulance staff, highway workers, rail and postal workers, customs officials and bus drivers are all striking this week alone. It’s being referred to as the winter of discontent: Workers want pay increases to match rising prices. But that’s a demand that Westminster so far isn’t prepared to meet. It’s the country’s biggest of wave of strikes in decades.

Uk gives money to zelensky
The only way: get out of NATO and stop giving money to Ukraine and the Ukrainian beggars in Europe. Put the money in people's mouth and welfare. Stop going to war together with the US.
Wts going on there in UK 🤔🤔🤔
More chaos from the proxy war in the Ukraine. The Americanization of Europe. The privatized nightmare that will destroy working class families.
When sex worker strike happens it's all over for the government
The fact is the NHS has been underfunded since the Conservatives came to power in 2010 and has been forced to outsource labour to private companies. This is because the Conservatives, who are a right-wing party, don't like socialised healthcare and want to privatise the NHS. They've been intentionally undermining it for the last 12 years so that they can claim the nationalised model doesn't work (when it worked fine under Labour) and that they have no choice but to privatise it, which is what they've always wanted.
It Seems The New PM Days Too Are Numbered

Turns out UK government is more corrupted than ours in EU – after brexit!
Nothing better to see than workers practicing their rights.
Good Work voting against your best interests, just like Murica put the rape chimp in power, you voted for isolation!
Dumb protesters. More money should sent to support Ukraine.
I agree the nurses and ambulance staff strikes ,but train drivers really! Have just found out train drivers get £5,500 per month you can't be serious just sitting there holding a handle ?
No one talking about the millions gone missing from n h s in Wales fraud
Brexit🤷🏻
British government doest have money for health care workers, but they have money for Ukraine. What is wrong with this picture?
The big problem is the way the government is treating the NHS. A big pull of Brexit for a lot of people was additional funding for the NHS which never came, along with over worked staff that saved the country during the pandemic for no reward, and we're seeing waiting times for appointments of 2 months for a doctor or 9 months with a hospital. Childrens lives are being put at risk because there aren't enough immunization jabs available, there's next to no NHS detists left any more so that's already effectively been privatised. Facts like these are why 2/3rds of the UK support the NHS and see the other striking groups as jumping on the bandwagon when everyone is struggling.
As a french I must admit, that it's quite inspiring to watch the Brits do what's to be done. Keep going guys, hoping to see you soon back on the battlefield, in the meantime, I hope financial's tyranny will be dismantled, bluntly and fiercely.
Keep the strikes going bring the elite to their knees remind them who is actually in charge without the workers they are nothing and they make no money power to the people we don't need them they need us
Has this lady been asleep for about ten or so years? has she heard of brexit? loss of freedom of movement? the fact that she says that inflation is everywhere as if that makes it 'normal' when in fact it is so much worse in the UK, just shows how she is not aware (hard to believe) or in denial about the real problems. The conservatives want to get rid of the NHS ever since thatcher. Money goes into the NHS to pay for private companies that work within the system, so it looks like the NHS is getting lots of money and it just disappears. For instance, who does the cleaning in hospitals? who used to? The people who are on strike in the UK are doing the only thing they can do to be able to survive, namely go on strike to force the government to do the right thing. If the gov't doesn't want to allow help from abroad (many foreign medical people left the UK because of brexit and the pandemic) then the very least they can do is pay the remaining staff a decent wage. The aim of the gov't, let's remember, is to get rid of the NHS. That is why they're doing nothing about the strike, hoping that the population will grow tired of it and start blaming the strikers. Someone should start referring to all those on strike as 'essential workers' as they did during the pandemic. They are still, and have always been, essential workers and the country cannot function without them.
What kind of expert is she? No whatsoever mentioning of the major disturbances brought about by Brexit and (and that gives her away even more) the last 12 years of the Tory government's draconian austerity measures. Plus, billions of £££ sunk by Tory corruption scandals, on top of the gov being in the pockets of corporate big wigs (therefore no proper windfall tax!)
UK had pissed off the EU, Russia, China…..how can the economy do well ?
It wants India to replace them…
Indias economy is like one tenth of the loss ones.
UK is in a downward spiral.
this is horrible! Zelensky and Ukraine should come first! US and UK and EU should sacrifice a bit.
Stop sending money to Ukraine and those Ukrainian beggars in EU. Give the money to the people to feed them.
The government has been short sighted in their policies in the past, that caused the issue.
Stop giving billions to Zelensky. Stop funding the war in Yemen, stop providing donations to Israel and Saudi Arabia. Stop all foreign aid for the foreseeable future and focus on us Brits.
Get better jobs 🤣🤣🤣
Most of the people were considered heros 2 years ago and now they are treated so badly by their government and the press who are (almost)all working for large coorporations.
Sack them all. We are all suffering.
Babylon Falling
