Title: What delicious irony

Teachers union leaders are worried that a postal ballot on strike action may have to be abandoned, because the ballot papers will not be delivered by the deadline due to.......a strike by postal workers  ;D

Since Covid some people have lost the desire to go to work , I always felt fortunate in having a reasonably secure job with decent pay. Bunch of lazy bastards in my opinion, get back to work & think yourselves lucky to have a job.

They are all people who get their salary from the magic money tree in the garden of the Treasury.
If the Govt. gives in to them, inflation will go crazy,even by todays standards, and next year they will demand even bigger pay rises.
This will continue until the country is completely bankrupt .
Its the same scenario as the 70,s when this scenario unfolded, andit  took Thatcher to come along and administer the tough medicine to sort out the mess.
We dont seem to have anyone like her in politics any more, so God knows what will become of the country if they are allowed to wreck it again in the same way they did then.

I sincerely hope he doesn't give in , all these lazy bastards jumping on the bandwagon , if you need more money do some overtime or get a second job I had to when my kids were young , no idea of working to put your life on track some folk.

 Little Rishi is more of a office manager  than a leader.

There are rumours that the Right Honourable Member for the 18th Century Jacob Rees Mogg is preparing to challenge Sunak for the leadership of the Tory party, which if true could be interesting.  :)

There are also rumours that Jeremy Lady bits* is going to increase fuel duty by 12p in the spring budget.  >:(  So hopefully the rumours about JRM are correct as he is the only Tory I can see who still has conservative instincts.  :-\

* I obviously didn't write Lady bits .....

Love it when all the rumours start, a bit like the turkey shortage at Christmas utter nonsense, don't worry about anything till it actually happens.

Indeed because statistically less than 90% of shit you worry about never happens anyway.

That is good to know. I was beginning to worry about China exporting Covid 23. Hospitals etc full. Good time to start a real war in South China Seas and Taiwan plus North Korea - Japan/ South Korea. USA spread on several fronts and the Wests armoury is empty having been donated to Ukraine and not replenished.

Back to not worrying.
