Amps I personally think stopping education at the age of 9 is something that will never happen in this country.

gcw You’re probably right, our model is currently too reliant on skilled workers, but they’ll carry on with the ‘bread and circuses’ technique for the moment. Either way, nothing should surprise anyone anymore.

Looking at Amps though it must have at least been the case for some people already.

Amps or… the vast majority of the population simply don’t care that much about it?

Minimum service levels during industrial action rather. You can agree or disagree but at least call it what it is

Amps

alistair but at least call it what it is

A way of taking all the teeth out of a strike, and rendering it pointless, thus taking away what little leverage the working class has.

Along_the_Wire

alistair it really a strike then, is it?

Amps

gcw More that they’ve been duped / disengaged.

Along_the_Wire

gcw those that are doing okay don’t give a fuck. Which always warms by heart.

Along_the_Wire I would disagree. I have a large extended family. The majority of them are not what I would call wealthy and have next to no savings or assets, always living month to month. Not one of them has any thoughts or consideration to strikes, or anything to do with the country

My point being that there is a portion of society that just aren’t interested in this aspect of the economy, politics etc. Doesn’t mean they are being duped or anything.

They’re disengaged from the process. That’s happened by design, not chance.
