Dont particularly agree with these strikes or there causes, but on the other hand at least someone has the backbone to stand up against the Government who have had there way whilst ignoring the working man for to long, its about time they started to experience some sort backlash. They live on there own planet with there 6 figure salaries and MPs claiming more in expenses than some honest hard working people earn in a year. its getting beyond a joke there are alot of people out there who work hard for what they get and have nothing left after paying living expenses each week hand to mouth one week to the next and still the greedy *astard* find ever more ways to extract money from there pockets. I dont care about the politics behind it all and the crap they come up with to justify it I am sick of hearing the *hit they spout on a daily basis telling us that we have to do this we have to do that to make it better in the long term. I am not at the base of the working ladder (although I soon will be if they get there way much longer) but I know and grew up with people that are, these people where not greedy, not claiming benefits and where happy with a working wage a packet of fags a few pints and a trip to the coast once a year (not to much to ask for a working man) but now even that has been taken from them, the cost of a pint (assuming you can still find a pub open after the Government destroyed the industry with over taxation, stupid rules and regulation) the price of a packet of fags + the cost of fuel (tax tax tax and more tax) has left people with little more than a roof and in some cases they are struggling with that. I know a guy who has worked for more than thirty years, last year he had to sell his car (a ten year old Ford) because at the end of the day he could no longer afford the cost associated with car ownership, he has been walking to work (3 miles@5 in the morning) ever since. How many members of government would do that to be left with nothing at the end of the month. (they would get a taxi and put it on the taxpayers bill, you know the guy who now has no option other than to walk) The same guy who works for his living enjoyed a drink at the weekend and liked a smoke. Before the anti drinking/smoking brigade get on there moral horse and say well its for his own good, I'm going to say now thats bo**ocks because this is what they had and enjoyed and theres got to be some enjoyment even if its not good for you. On the plus side he will now be able to work longer and live longer while he enjoys his life of *uck all.
