I don’t understand the mentality of striking. I get they want a pay rise but if they strike they lose a days pay for every day they’re on strike, meaning less money at the end of the month. 🤔

No one will know, they’ll just think it’s late again.

So all the unions are going to get everyone to strike for more money, the country will grind to a halt, inflation will rise further, more strikes, higher inflation, recession and at the end of it all BorisJohnson will still be Prime Minister. 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂
