Paramedic - I’m on strike tomorrow

[Unravel_Morrison]

Who are they actually planning on winning votes from? If they were not so ****, I'd say this looks like an inside job (which they have done great at). I would laugh, if things were not so **** for many.

There are still a lot of voters who like the idea of simple 'solutions' to complicated issues.

As long as the Tories continue to pretend that's what they're implementing then they'll still hoover up a lot of votes.

Since they handed over property management to private service contractors - some of the base living quarters [especially family quarters] have been thoroughly neglected.
Its an outrage.

Military housing: Families say they're living in damp, mouldy conditions

In a rare show of discontent, personnel say they wait days or sometimes weeks for repairs.

Privatisation - the Tories answer to everything. And it always fails.

Yup, and it will bite them in the ****, just like it bites the worse off every day.

The more they do it (fall for it), the more of a percentage who fall outside of the Tory earnings catchment, as wealth moves more and more to the rich. The earnings band where it becomes cost-effective to vote for them increases massively every year. People on 100k voting Tory won't even be getting better value by doing it, yet most over 50k probably vote that way (or it would have been that way at the last GE anyway).

I ain't fussed what votes they get (they will always get loads because of the right wing press), but they're going to get absolutely mauled on seats, and their target audience is destined to dislike them more and more, as they become reliant on them more and more and there's nothing there to help them.

Interesting reading but also equally depressing, makes me wonder whether I want to spend the rest of my life living in this broken country.

Not only that, but soldiers are finding themselves living in private rented accomodation off base.
Surely a big question mark about security and safety of personnel ?

The tory party must be privatised then ?

Isn't it already? They had a lot of Russian money coming in.

Privatised to whoever donates the most donations, brown envelopes, or favourable press, which is unfortunately most of the press.

Hey @Bobbygee did you get many folks wishing you well on the picket line?

Yeah public support was really good, ended up attending a few life threatening emergencies and the public seems to have taken note to only ring if really needed, fingers crossed that will continue

Great that you got the support. It doesn't put food on the table, but nice nevertheless.
