[Misc] Will the Unions bring everyone to their knees?

[Stat Brother]

I thought an odd reply to an obvious statement was fair enough.
Perhaps you can say why our country isn't vulnerable?

Why would I do that when what I actually asked is:-

Why do you think we stand vulnerable as a country?

 

[Bodian]

Mick and the union leaders around the UK are screwing us all, as we stand vulnerable as a country.
That is just unforgivable in my eyes.

I'm a member of a union, sometimes an active member. I have received a 1.75% pay rise this year. I also got a pay rise of a whopping 1.75% last year (inflation rate 4.1%). In 2020 I was incredibly lucky to have had a pay rise above the rate of inflation (2.75 % v 1.5%) - but that was the only time for many years; I can't remember the time before.

Looking forward to your thoughts on how my union, and my involvement in it has screwed us all?

Oi join the back of the queue.

All I want to know is why he thinks the country is vulnerable.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. [MENTION=2719]Mouldy Boots[/MENTION] has a habit of spouting stuff which he is then unwilling, or more likely unable, to back up.

If we stand vulnerable as a country, that is absolutely totally the fault of our government, which has created the conditions where so many people are really suffering purely because of the cost of living crisis.

People have kept things going, faced danger through the darkest days of COVID, taken pay cuts and now basically just can not afford to live. What are they supposed to do!

Totally the fault of the government

No it isn't.

Who created covid?
Who created the war in Ukraine.

Go on, have a guess.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Go on, have a guess.

How old are you? You’re behaving like a teenager with this line of argument about YOUR comment.

 

[Stat Brother]

Go on, have a guess.

I don't know that's why I asked you the simple question.

Why do you think the country is vulnerable?

 

[dadams2k11]

Go on, have a guess.

Because Boris is PM?

 

[rogersix]

Go on, have a guess.

Bit lonely in the bear pit now all your racist chums have been booted off the board?

I just thought it was completely obvious, why the country was vulnerable. If I start pointing it out, 10 of you will jump on me as they already have and this will end up like the tory and brexit threads.

This is about the unions blocking the spring back and growth of our country at an important time.
They are playing politics and will send us back to dividing us all again......as they always do.

If ever the country needed teamwork.....its now.

 

[The Clamp]

“Poor me”

Boring….

Give your answer (if you have one) and ignore people “jumping on you”. You know, like a grown up.

Not completely obvious to me.

in the past, it has always been the tory party that has divided the nation

I have little idea what fuels your thoughts, hence why me and others are asking. I can only conclude by your deliberate and repeated avoidance that you have little idea as well.

Growth is hugely important and contraction of the economy isn't where we want to be.

Would you agree?

You and the people you lamely support have divided us; it has never been resolved....

 

[Lever]

...and their vacuous support base.

No it isn't.

Who created covid?
Who created the war in Ukraine.

Who printed money as it was going out of fashion.

The government.
