What baffles me though is the timing of this one, inflation is going through the roof, energy costs likewise, food prices are rocketing and there are ominous gaps on supermarket shelves, petrol is getting on for £2 a litre, the situation is so bad that food banks are running out of food while overflowing with customers. Yet in this horrific scenario, when you'd think anyone with a reasonably well paid job would be happy to keep their head down and battle on, this lot decide they don't need their wage, they and their families can manage without it.

Really ? Doesn't seem credible to me, as ever, all is most certainly not as it appears, nor as the MSM would have you think it is.
When our workers realise they are being pushed to the limit just to survive and then find out their beloved Prime Minister wanted to spaff £150,000 on a tree house for his six month old son, they are going to strike.

Even our criminal barristers have had enough of this goon.
