@j_g_fitzgerald Brexit has in once sense been a success for the Tories in that by embracing it they have stayed in power for 12 continuous years. Regardless of the damage done to the UK (which has been brought to its knees) the Tories have had what they value most power.

Today 70,000 UCU members begin historic strike action across every university in the UK.
 
Given we get pay docked and we all are experiencing a cost of living crisis we are not doing this lightly.

Stand with us.

Biggest ever university strike begins in fight over pay, pensions & conditions

Over 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the UK begin three days of strike action over attacks on pay, working conditions and pensions. The strike is the biggest in the history of higher education and UCU is predicting historic turnout on its picket lines.

@hamishkallin we have had to cancel a family reunion in London because of the rail strike. I blame the Government for preventing the rail managers from making a deal.
@AnthonyFStevens 12 years of Tory rule, six years of Tory Brexit and the country is ruined. No doubt the multi millionaires who backed the Tories and Brexit are prospering but no one else is.

That sounds safe !

If you're new, and even if you aren't, we have a precious thing here.

This is an ad-free platform that isn't designed to make money and doesn't use algorithms that promote provocative content in an attempt to boost "engagement."

But it's not free. It costs money to run, and sometimes the people who run the servers dig into their own pockets.

So please go to your server's "about" page (the link is there, somewhere) and make a donation. Make it a monthly one.

Thank you.
