like we don't have strikes now !!!

You don't remember the 1970s do you.

The 1970s entailed the Labour Party
making the first moves at globalisation

That had nothing to do with any political party,
it happened regardless of any political party.

And had been going on since LONG before Labour had even
been invented anyway. That’s what the empire was about.

and lowering real wages.

Even sillier than you usually manage.
That wasn’t what the 70s were about.

And then blaming the Trade Union
movement for trying to resist this.

Not blaming anyone, pointing out
that that was what they were doing.

Rather successfully, it seems, but that
does not make it the unions' fault.

Corse the strikes and that sort of insanity was.
