..............."I Don't Meet With Unions" says Grant Shapps" ..........
Well you had better start meeting with them,
Mr-Holier- than Thou Shapps. Because its your job and that of your fellow cons that is on the line with these Strikes, which are designed to bring about the fall of Boris and his merry men.

Lucky you don't live here then, Gully, innit. You'll be able to have a right laugh at us mugs.

Regardless of where he lives, he’s right.
Going to be lots of strikes and industrial action.

Government need to get governing responsibly instead of fire-fighting Johnson’s misdeeds and behaviour on a weekly basis, he’s now their major distraction and cause of inaction on the issues that matter to the public.

Truth is Boris is the Unions' major distraction. He is what this is all about. In their efforts to bring this government down they couldn't care less if they bring this country to its knees - and if they do, who suffers more than the 'working man' who they claim to support? Hypocrites all. Shame on each and every one of them. They have nothing to be proud of.

I'm no fan of BJ but I can't see anyone (normal) having an iota of sympathy for any of those strikers. Doubt they'll have too much effect on most people either.
I could well see them galvanising support for BJ and the Tory Party.

[naomi24]

I think that could well happen, Spice.

Did you look at the links provided? You do realise that they’ll all have sympathy with each other in light of them all taking action in one form or another?
As for doubting the effect, did you not see the news on Tuesday?
What’ll happen when the criminal justice system breaks down, teachers strike and NHS workers take action?
If you doubt there’ll be much of a problem then why is it such a massive issue presently?
What is Johnson doing about it? Fighting for better pay and bonuses for bankers.
There’s discontent brewing across all sections of society but the government have their priorities elsewhere.

/Truth is Boris is the Unions' major distraction. /
Lol, nice try. They do t need to bring the government down, Johnson is doing that all by himself.

148 of his MP’s told him so very recently.

FatticusInch, so you've said.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, thought you didn’t read my posts?
Truth about your hero hurting you a tad?

[naomi24]

Sometimes you're lucky.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, you mean on the extremely rare occasion you actually answer questions posed in a thread?
Thanks for the attention though, I’m flattered.

What a pity this union never did much to help the P & O
crews, but is quite content to cripple the country, and seeing Abbott and Scargill on board only strengthens the argument.
