#ukpol - anti-strike laws
I reckon if the right to withdraw your labour is removed you have no choice but to immediately resign.
If a nurse is legally required to do nursing, then they should stop being a nurse-slave and become an unemployed-freeman.
Surely the whole of the NHS and all the train staff should just quit entirely, en-mass, if anything like these proposed laws actually pass?
The fact that the press is barely even questioning the legality of these kinds of moves speaks volumes about how captured they have become.
Wonder if it would even matter if it was Journalists that were being turned into slaves legally required to do their job?
They'd be fucked if that happened, none of them seem even remotely *able* to do their job properly. They'd have to all go to jail.

This is hilarious in a bad way
If you sack them, Sunak, who is going to do the job when no-one wants to do it already?
Pay them properly, sort out the chronic lack of resources, and sit down, fool.

A country where you cannot strike.
A country where you cannot protest.
No, this is not North Korea, this is the plan for Tory Britain.

Why does the Catholic Church, who facilitated the largest theft of Native lands not pay taxes. But Indigenous communities, who’s lands were stolen, do?

If we genuinely kept politics out of sport, then there would be no such thing as a national team.

We’re going to pass legislation on small boats and to curb strikes. We’ve already passed laws to restrict protest and make it harder for young people to vote. I think this tactic, making things we don’t like illegal, can be taken further. We should make not being Tory illegal.

Indigenous spaces have no desire to be void of other cultures.
It's not the Native way.
Nothing inherently wrong with being a white person of European descent. There are great people of all cultures, American/European included.
It's the colonizer culture that doesn't know how to be a guest, in equal coexistence or share.
Colonizer culture has to take everything, displace everything and control the whole world.

Rachel Reeves is promising a stronger, fairer economy. The same Rachel Reeves who last month wouldn't even say if Labour would offer the nurses a better pay deal than the Tories are offering. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1610696112217767956

The NHS is failing because it is not public enough
Right-wingers use today's NHS shortcomings to argue that a public health system does not work – but its failings stem from decades of pro-market reforms

My GP surgery just sent out a message saying all non-critical care has been suspended until further notice. Is this the sunlit upland? Best not get ill.
