I don't think you care for anything as long as it causes mayhem for someone, preferably UK plc... your train of logic completely escapes me I'm afraid...

And how exactly does striking on behave of workers in Chile let's say for arguments sake help workers in the UK?
On the contrary who will employ people who strike at the drop of a hat in support of people anywhere in the globe ?

Being an internationalist why are you living in the UK and not one of your preferred communist regimes?

I have asked that before and he refuses to answer. I suspect that living here in the UK he knows is far better than in a communist country, but won't admit it.

When the miners went on strike, BT employees chipped in to help those who needed it.

When BT engineers went on strike did any one help us, especially the miners? No they bloody well didn't. I had to borrow off my SIL to live.

So the help others attitude with one union helping another. Load of old Bo**ocks

How were the miners going to help you out? They were broke by then.

Yes 1987, it wasn't until the 90s that BT decided "Its good to talk".

Re: Corbyn and the return of Strikes

If the politicians won't listen to the 'workers' they have few options - one is striking and sabotage as we now see on the streets of France - what a stupid lot of pollies they have and President, who live in luxury - reminds me of the french revolution - "let them eat cake" - time to stuff the cake!
