More than 2 million participants put the public sector on hold in the UK, as unions stage a massive public sector strike. It is the largest of its kind in 30 years.

  • Never mind o_O

  • @MiG2880 Not following you. If you are somehow angry that most people in the west live very well or something, and dont deserve it, and shouldnt, but you cant cant understand why the dont, or who is to blame because they are materialist, hard to follow what you are on about. Then you kind of bring in the past which means that the whole world has some serious scores to settle with everyone else.

  • @amemy1

    Yes and i'm sure the West was a very privileged place to be at the height of slavery, too.

  • @MiG2880 I have been involved in Green peace, the Green party, Amnesty, etc. I think you got the wrong person dude. You also get confused, (as you say), and I agree that the end user is the public, and it is the up to the public what they buy into, and what the consequences of their actions are on other people around the globe. Many people are aware of this, and take action, but that is the way of the world, and the West is a very privalaged place to be.

  • @amemy1

    It's not about me. It's bigger than me - or you. The fact that you don't see that speaks volumes about your mindset.

    These people are going halfway around the world to kill and maim innocent children for economic reasons. So any comforts you or I may have is irrelevant. We have blood on our hands while we reap any reward from those atrocities.

    Honestly, it's all 'self self self' with people like you. Why don't you put down the Daily Mail and start thinking for yourself. Baaa.

  • @MiG2880 The 'corrupt system', looks after your health even if it cost thousands and thousands, and even if you have deliberately abused yourself, and even if you don't work. It pays for your food, and a home, you gives you money have a family on NO income, it spends thousands of pounds to defend your Human rights in court even if you declare you desire and plan to murder.

    The greatest threat to you is obesity, whats your problem.

  • they would just go into their bunkers world wide with their chosen few and nuke us all...again...then come back up top side,procreate, populate and fill us with bull shit stories of gods and fire from the skies....again...then leak us a few bits of tech every now and then to keep us going..again..and then thousands of years later when we start asking to many questions..round we go again..ever wondered why we bring with us all our ancestors genes except memory...trauma deletes memory..

  • I ask you, does the current system do justice to the miracle that life is? IMHO, living is just not worth the asking price these days.

    If everyone emptied all their bank accounts then went on strike indefinitely, the corrupt system would be crippled within a very short time. Then we could all become self sufficient.

    It would be hard work at first, but at least it would be honest and meaningful. It would also wean society off this 'what's in it for me?' mentality which plagues humanity.

  • @P155ed that's already happening everywhere. That IS the public school system...

  • @P155ed. What do you mean "not educate the children? That's just idiotic! A teacher letting kids run riot can be fired. A teacher on strike has certain protections. And the single biggest male piece of foolishness there? Nobody in Parliament will even notice a work action that is simply poor quality babysitting where children probably get injured.

    If you were paying attention you'd have noticed ALL govmt. workers are on strike, it isn't a teacher strike.
