Huge public-sector strike hits the UK

Britain is the latest country to be hit by large-scale strike action over its austerity measures.

Schools, hospitals and local government offices have all been hit by a day of action called by unions representing public sector workers in the UK.

It's over a government move to reduce their pension entitlement.

@TwoTube2 that's cool. And what is the identity? what do you stand for? what is your vision of the future? Who are your People? What is your money based on? Every one has a smart phone phallic in their ears. that's not identity.

..I'm sorry but these protesters need some goddamn perspective in their lives, I'm a Public Sector worker and in the past I have spent 2-3 years doing aid work in Sierra Leone, Burma and Bangladesh. When you visit these places you then see what real hardship and unfairness is and when I came back to Britain it made me eternally grateful for what I have, I don't moan..I just get on with things.
