An angry response

This is a response to a fellow car forum member  reproducing an "article" from a website called thedailymash satirising Public Sector workers defense of their penson rights.  The "article" hit all the usual cheap right wing targets - strikers who act like pigs, teachers who can't spell, all the usual Tory bullshit:

God knows what sort of society "thedailymash" wants. Doctors are talking about strike action now. Another triumph for the ConDems.

Some people need a lesson in what the Trades Unions have done - and are doing - for the working man and woman. The Tories under Thatcher, Labour under Blair, and now the ConDems under Cameron are ruining this country. Our industrial base is disappearing (only yesterday the train manufacturer Bombardier announced 1400 redundancies), our politicians are in thrall to Murdoch and his murky empire, and the Bankers are still paying themselves huge bonuses. The public sector Unions seem to be the only ones who have a grip on reality. Why shouldn't they defend their members interests? At last (and at least) someone is taking a stand. 


I wonder when the working people who support the coalition will wake up. When their nearest hospital is privatised? When families by the thousand are thrown out of homes they can no longer afford? When their local schools all have to be sponsored by car dealers? When this country is sucked dry by Osborne and his banker pals and unemployment hits three and a half million again? Or higher?

Who is going to look after your interests then? I suggest that all workers who don't already belong join a Trade Union, and that those who are members get active and open their eyes to what is really going on here.

How many Charity shops do you want in your High Street? How expensive do you want your weekly shopping basket to be? How much are you prepared to pay for a litre of fuel?

Never mind, eh? Roll over and laugh while they screw you!
