Everyone Is Out Striking For Better Pay

Sorry your kids can't come into school today As all the teachers are out on strike wanting better pay So are the doctor's and nurses and paramedics as well If you are sadly unfortunately feeling unwell or have any form or other of medical emergency or have an untimely fall As they also want a fairer living wage to take home at the end of the month And even if you wanted to go anywhere and don't have your own car I am also sorry to inform you that both the buses and trains are currently out on strike as well So it seems like nobody is going anywhere at the present moment in time Because you can't or may be unable to go or get anywhere anyways And chances are no one will be there or is probably at and manning their work stations anyway As everyone and everyone seems to be currently out on strike Seeking and searching for better pay come what may Only problem is nothing seems able to be or is getting done for all and sundry And the negotiations between both and all parties concerned Don't seem to getting or going nowhere either Because and after COVID there is hardly little or no money left in the pot we are more so in debt since world war II

Worse than Covid Christopher, I as an outsider believe England has committed economic suicide with Brexit, but nobody is willing to say it for some inexplicable reason, what you say is true the place is falling to pieces, cheers David

Brexit was definitely not explained properly to the British people Christopher, and I believe many were misled by nationalism, people need to realise Europe is stronger together, yes we have our differences but that’s just life in general, the world is never going to be perfect, but it can be much better through unity!

As ever David Sir Brilliant A faultless summation and commentary based upon the lines of logic , reason and fact. I have to honestly admit I myself did in fact vote out . Naively but based on my own stupidly believing in the powers that be politicians i . e had our country and the best interests of the people at heart. But come to think of it that is beyond next level stupid and naive on my part. Independence and nationalism in theory is not a bad that's such. Until you throw people and human nature and factor that into the mix . Then everything falls to pieces Explain or Say
