Comment on Junior doctors in England offer to call off strike if given more time for talks
_xDEADBEEF@lemm.ee 4 months agowhat exactly am I doing to make it so easy for them? Not being optimistic about the situation? I’m not stopping anyone doing anything. Crack on. I just will not join in the “hurr, durr. Tories bad” circlejerk with the endless repetition of the same old widely known history and either sides talking points.
I think you’re all deluded to think anyone is going to get anywhere with the current govt, Tories have a track record of this and neither side is willing to compromise. History has shown what happens in this situation in the UK. Nothing. Even if the protests develop into violence, we’ve seen what happens. Still nothing.
It’s about time people get serious about the current situation and near future, because people are too damned optimistic and have too much faith in our politicians, of any party.
Sorry to be a doomer.

The issue isn’t the current government, the issue is all the people (such are yourself) putting down striking workers instead of supporting them and their cause.
Frankly, we’re long overdue a general strike. But the British public are such masochistic pussies that it probably will never happen.

i fail to see how suggesting people to be prepared for not getting what you want is putting them down. Maybe its the fact i grew up with my father striking in the 80s (not the mines, dockyard. Didn’t work) been to enough protests, seen the inside of a police van too many times, and prefer to not go up before the magistrate again, that im jaded to it all.
But sure, lets all ignorantly cheerlead them on from the sidelines, right? 👏👏👏
I want to be wrong, but, mark my words, short of a revolution, nothing will happen. Partly because protests don’t work and partly because this country’s economy is circling the drain.
