It isn't that I am at a loss for words exactly. I have many words and many thoughts but some of them are a bit odd right now. There is a conspiracy theory person at work and I have had a few interesting chats with them. The thing is, in many ways our views are not so disimilar, theirs are just more extreme on the matter of world politics etc, and more aggressive.

There is a respect there which is nice.

So I have watched a few programmes on some of this stuff and well, I don't disagree exactly, it just is not my focus. Do I think there is a hugs conspiracy, not sure. Do I think governments etc act without our best interests at heart and plays games with us - for sure!

I know some people who are about to enter into strike action in the UK and hearing what they have to say, i can see games being played.

The government is sqeezing their pensions. Something like making them work longer to receive less when the pension fund is absolutely fine but the government just wants to take more money from it....

These people don't want to strike and are angry with the government, not their direct employers. They have tried to reach agreements with their employers that would allow them to get their message across without closing down vital services. Their employers have made it clear there are too choices - strike or not to strike for a whole days work. There will be no hour long strike, no being at work to deal with emergencies but dealing with nothing else. To do anything other than strike or not strike is to be in violation of their contracts and to be open to prosecution etc.

But this is a PR game. The fact they tried so hard to find other options will not be publicised. They will strike but public opinion will be against them and chances are, they will either not change a thing or will change so infinitesimally that by and large it will be the same....

Because no one in a caring, service profession really has the heart to bring the country to it's knees....

And the employers? Well.... I am sure the bosses of the bosses have been very well looked after, they always are. Here have a bonus for dealing with this as requested or some such. Bosses get rewarded for selling out their employees. I see this in my work on a smaller scale too...

This country and indeed the world, does not work how I think it should, it works on money and we no longer have the power over our own lives that we should.

Events like this make you go against the community but in effect that is wrong, going against the law is not always going against the community. Smaller shut downs would be better for the community. The law of the community is NOT the community itself. We must remember this.
