why would you wonder that silverfox?


if they have jobs and paid for themselves you will ask what they are protesting about

and if they don't have jobs you can dismiss them as feckless


why start another thread on what is essentially the same topic

Matching tents...

I guess they could all have free university education like the 70s if they reduced the number of students from the current 2,000,000 to the 1,000,000 there were in the 70s.


So which half of them are going to go home and get a job?

Just for perspective, I know of a global bank moving outside zone 1 in London


Roughly 80% of the workforce appear to view this as a reason to leave


Several people on 3 figure salaries expect someone else to pick up the extra tube costs or else they will leave for that reason alone


I know who I have more sympathy with

To be fair, if I was on a 3 figure salary, I think I'd struggle to pay for travel myself. Or rent, food, clothing...

In the City right now, it's getting dark and helicopters are drowning out the conversation in our office. They'll be getting cold and tired now so expect proceedings to kick off shortly.....whether its a few windows smashed or a full scale plastic bullet extravaganza remains to be seen.

Agreed. First year doesn't even count towards your degree a lot of the time, and it would mean a lot of people would drop out pretty quickly, which probably wouldn't new bad thing either.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
