50 years ago I suppose the headline would have read 'Dockers to strike for fifth time in 20 months'.
How things have changed- not all for the better.

Going back to the bad old days. Pay bonuses to the rich, and let the serfs scrounge off their tables. Bring on Sharia law and stop the money grubbers by emptying their troughs. Perhaps then even they will work for the benefit of others!

You are obviously living in Rented property and failed to understand the theory that everyone has something called opportunity !

Life is what you make it.

Stop taking start making !

What is obvious to you is usually wrong in the eye of others and, as usual, leaves you with your head just that tiny bit above the parapet. Sadly, I forgot my gun!

However, life is not what you make it. Life is what is left after the fates, the greedy and the feckless leave you with.

Do you really still believe this to be the land of equal opportunity? Come back, you have been staring at the light for far too long!

And whilst you are in an expansive mood, would you enlighten me as to what it is that makes you believe I live in a rented property? I never implied that, and, if you believe I bought my property to earn a profit then think again. One thing I do not invest in is Party Dogma, nor do I believe in multi political politics. What I do actually believe in is that in this life we should work together and hard towards a better life for all. If that simple ideal offends you then go join your paymasters.

Paragraph 2 should have been: "However, life is not what you make it. Life is what is left after the fates, the greedy and the feckless leave you."

Sorry for any confusion there!

I dare say they will be sacked and replaced with cheap foreign labour. All of whom will be claiming a kings ransom in welfare subsidies. Welcome to new world order Britain.
