Are we in for another winter of discontent?

Excellent, just what we need right now don't you think. We just got through covid, the government are £trillions in debt, we are being invaded from the EU state of France, eco mentalists want us to go back to the stone age, Putin's war is destabilising the global economy, and left wing trade unions want everyone out on strike. 

What you don't understand is, this is not good for Labour. The majority of people in this country just want to get to work, if left wing unions and left wing eco mentalists stop people getting to work, do you think it will endear them to support Labour?

None of them deserve a pay rise - especially the rail workers. They're lucky to still have a job. As for the nurses they shouldn't be allowed to strike. If they don't like the pay/conditions they can leave - that's all, No right to strike. In any case their average pay is now £37,000, plus they also get pensions that the private sector can only dream about. That's GOOD remuneration.

The Winter of Discontent started weeks ago, as Red has pointed out the UK is deeply in debt after Covid, the Economy is struggling, but on this I don't agree with Red on is " The Government is in debt" IMO " The Taxpayers are in serious debt" we they are paying the bills the Government has no money it's our money they spend.

I have thought from the beginning these strikes are being organised to bring down the Government, if Labour were in power would they go on strike? perhaps I doubt it.

If one just takes the Nurses strike, I think they deserve and need a pay rise, but so do many other workers but not now, getting our economy up a running again should be the first priority so we can get into a position to pay off our huge debts and give workers reasonable pay rise within our means.

And independent body suggested a 5% pay raise for Nurses, that would cost the taxpayers £10 billion a year, the NHS wages bill already cost us £56 billion a year, a 100 thousand Civil Servants are now going to go strike, how much will that cost the taxpayers, where is the money going to come from?

If the strikes do bring down the Government and Labour are put in power, would it change the economic position we and many other countries are in due to Covid and Putin, IMO No Labour would do as they always do put up taxes across the board, which has never worked and never will

Has for the Nurses they can leave if they dont like the pay or the conditions .

Many are doing everyday dont you realise that .

Thats why there NHS nursing shortage of 40, 000
And stupid Brexit dosent Releave  the staff shortage and that can lay on you and other Brexiteers

The elephant in the room is that we, ie the government, are spending our money in many ridiculous ways that accrue no benefit to the ordinary UK citizen and plan to spend in many more ridiculous ways as well as restrict our own lives in many more ridiculous ways. We have an ineffective and seemingly hamstrung police service, open borders, a plethora of unhappy minorities and an MSM that has moved almost in total to an established position. Energy and food prices are going up because of deliberate policies on the part of our government by not seeking independence of energy and seeking as much self sufficiency in food as possible as well as all the 'green' policies' that make modern life much more difficult.

The environmental movement does not look backwards. That is the conservative movement.
Environmentalism is about the future and how to go forward in a sustainable manner.

Sandy talking about the ordinary uk citizen has Benifited from the Elephant in the Room brexit especially the ordinary uk citizens are more and more getting disscontant with Brexit
lncluding them that voted leave.

And please tell me how the Govenment are restricting our lives.

has for the other the other things the Govenment spend there money on they done that for decades 
And with Brexit , covid  and the war inflation stands at 10.7 a record 40yr high
