Teacher strikes

[gazaprop]

So, another bunch of lefty led by the nose vote to go on strike if required to do so. Another round of holding decent and honest working folk to ransom by forcing them to fork out for child care or - miss shifts - just to give their union barons a sense of purpose.

And so the lunacy continues. My advice to those paying union dues is this - stop the direct debit and have a nice weekend away.

It is a shame that educated people (presumably) cannot or perhaps don't want to find another way to protest about their lot that doesn't harm the childrens education.


No wonder so many of these professions are losing their status.

Parents are told of the importance of their children being in school yet at the drop of a hat Teachers are "bunking off school"
It seems to have gathered pace since covid when we paid so many, so well for staying at home and for some of them doing nothing.

Must be a hard conversation when fining parents for holidays and truancy.
Even harder with the children.

So many of these Politically corrupt Unions are not earning the dues paid to them if all they can do is call for strikes.

Better not let the Unions do marriage guidance the divorce rate would go through the roof.

And if you were educated and informed, you'd know they have been pressing their case for over 18 months and had no serious response from the government.

But as ever people only take note when it reaches this kind of visibility.

As for "lefties" their consultative poll got something like 90% agreeing on strike action across about 250,000 . All lefties, apparently.

It would help in this and other cases if the government listened to the pay review bodies it has, rather than over-rule them.

That's so funny from the forum thickwit and Rodney prize inspiration,




Defending children's blighted education for political reasons sounds just up your street.

It is up the Tories street, a perfectly fine system has been in place for years and they have seen fit to Rip it apart for political reasons.

It's getting to be more and more the case that you abuse me. If you think it affects me, you are wrong.

To me, and I suspect, to others , it underlines how little you have to say. If you had decent arguments and logic you might make some impression. It would be very much more effective for you than this clever-dickery you adopt.

Political? Everything is political. Watching their real incomes decline for more than ten years is also political. Striking is generally the last resort for most groups, but having exhausted all the rest, it's the one step which attracts publicity. Which triggers people like you to wade in.

Absolutely. It’s actually rather sad to observe. Most likely age related mental decline. If Loco can’t come up with a reasoned, coherent argument to counter a reply the usual response is to sl@g off or belittle the op.

Or call them a liar. That's his favourite one.

A tactic favoured by Trump.
I think there could also be a bit of cult of personality syndrome going on here.

This "political" thing....

In the Trump thread we have heard about the US justice system and how, in local's opinion, it is politically corrupt.

The thing is, it as always been married to the political system. They would tell you that having DAs, judges, chiefs of police, and the rest , elected, is a manifestation of democracy. And if you compare it with our opaque system, perhaps it is. But it does tend to provoke public-pleasing behaviour rather than that which is consistent with justice.

But Trump knew that. In Florida he is benefitting from a judge who , being a federal, was appointed by him, and who is contorting herself to help him with the documents case; to the extent that she is in danger of being removed from the case.

In Georgia, it is Republicans who are lining up to prosecute him.

Years ago in a typically boastful comment, Trump alleged that if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue he would not be penalised for it. That's because he thought he was so popular, that the system would bend to public opinion.

It turns out he was wrong. The state of New York is quite prepared to prosecute him for acts which appear to transgress state law. Rather than fight his case, he is very stupidly abusing the system and the main players and could be jailed soon for contempt after his outbursts against officials and their families. He has only himself to blame.

It's a different system to ours, and to say it's "political" - as in politics determine who is in office- is a truism. Maybe ours is too but just hidden from us. But it's a system he should know very well and from which he has benefitted greatly over the years. When it starts to produce outcomes he and his supporters don't like, is no basis to knock it.

And aren't our politicians , who manage how our teachers are paid, playing politics with the issues just as the teachers might be?

As with the doctors strike and to a lesser extent, the rail workers.

Sorry Rodders but you write the crap, try reading through before you hit the submit button.
I have many many times helped you out and you haven't the decency to thank me you just bluster on.

You have made yourself the object of derision.

You are an ignorant ungrateful plonker, what else is there to say, its not my fault.

I have linked you to a correction of your understanding of Trumps appeal yet not one word of thanks.

You make your bed you lie in it.

I rest my case with the plonker title, read the highlighted above then follow it through its laughable

And there you go again.

My post agrees that it is political, but not that it is corrupt.


Indeed the US has its advantages. For example, the Grand Jury system largely prevents DAs proceeding against clients for personal and political reasons. Such as in Georgia.

Let's be fair . You would attack any system that does not produce the result you want.


It's only a matter of time before, after the Tories are hammered in the GE , that you tell us about what is wrong with First Past the Post.

Should I expect an apology?
