Looking at on the buses and the carry on films and being brought up in the seventies...
I have fond memories of the Bustard unions. Call out a strike in two minutes flat.
No going to judges and getting permission? Illegal to strike? WTF.
Since the Tolpuddle Martyrs, this country has been fighting the arses at the top for centuries,
now it's sliding back to serfdom? Thatcher sold the nations soul for shares in BT. Now we all
scrabble about for a percentage. The joy of being a lad on the job is gone and professionalism
is now what everyone is about. Careers and getting on.
A nation of managers. Managing money and assets. Managing time.
Bring back GRIME and slack business practices. Smoking in the Cab and fondling birds in the canteen.
Thatcher killed the nation... you know it's true.

Before Thatcher and mass immigration people had power, real power. They had power because they were needed. Now there are millions of people in this era and they are not needed.
In the 70s bosses had to spend time and money and effort on training up their own staff. Because of this they valued them, when you can get something for nothing and which is easily available you do not value or cherish it. It becomes a commodity to be thrown away and used. This contempt for the value and respect for people then permeates through every section of society, the bosses don't value the workers, the workers don't value themselves but there is fear and apprehension. It's quite a trick they have played on the British people, to have turned us all into sharp little numbers in such little time. |

This is where it really started to go wrong for the working classes.
The Gatt talks and globalisation. Globalisation simply means taking your manufacturing and skilled jobs to where labour is the cheapest. It was all predicted and our leaders knew what it would lead to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwmOkaKh3-s Now all those well paid manufacturing jobs have been exported. Combine that with oversupply of labour for regular and semi-skilled jobs, and that's where we are now. |

You can't get through to working class people about stuff like that.
They're too busy fighting the class war. |

those miners loved a nice 24 hour strike in the summer but only if the pubs would do a lock in.
