I do not support the public sector strikes at all. This country cannot keep affording the level of public sector pensions that are paid out often to people before the age of 65. Neither can private bussinesses keep up the payment of pensions to it's employees,in some cases for 30 plus years.
As 1 of a couple who worked all their working lives where there are no pensions paid on retirement other than the state pension it really angers me to see the greed from those that have not only been paid huge salaries plus expenses sitting on their backsides mainly still demanding more.My husband and I have worked extremely hard at our jobs and are amongst the most important contributers to everybodies life style (lorry driver and carer) who on retirement were still only earning the minimum wage and are now on £250 per week state pension between us. We still have not paid off our home,owe no money other than the mortgage and manage to eat reasonably but have few treats. How would these people like to have this to look foreward to?
The strikes that are about wake increases are absolutely futile. You loose your wages for the day that you are on strike and you never get that back for many years if you do succeed tin getting a wage increase. Quite a few strikes are called by little Adolf's who like to feel that they are important, if they were intelligent they would have achieved management rather than squirming into the position of a shop floor convenience which no one else wanted any way.
Of course some of these people use it as a way of getting into politics and one or two work their way up towards the top of their political party. These are always a give away because their actions and looks are similar to those of a thug.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
