These strikers really get up my nose. They're idiots. What realistically can they hope to achieve? What can their employers do about the situation? Nothing. With so many people losing their jobs at the moment, they should be thankful they've got jobs. What makes me even more angry is that they don't complain about 'foreign workers' who happily do all the jobs that they don't want to do. Jobs that don't pay too well or jobs that they see as 'below their dignity'. Where are their strikes then?
I remember a recent BBC news report when locals were complaining about 'foreign workers' and they interviewed several young men in the street. They all admitted to being unemployed and were all drinking in the street. These youths were mouthing off about low paid foreign workers 'taking their jobs'. The interviewer then pointed out that despite the labour force being filled with 'foreign workers' there was still a shortage of workers to pick produce in the fields nearby and they would drive them to the recruitment centre. The lads then walked off sheepishly saying that wasn't the sort of work that they wanted to do and it wasn't paid enough.
Look, if you think I'm grumpy you're not the only one. I was spouting off this morning about stupid 'pc' rules in the UK. Watching the BBC News snow report from a weather presenter who was standing next to a snowman I said, "I'm surprised that they don't have to paint the snowman brown, so as not to offend anybody."
Jan said, "you could go on that show Grumpy Old Men."
As we woke to the third straight day of driving rain this morning, is it any wonder that I'm grumpy. It's supposed to be bloody sunny here!
