Will you join me in my protest march through London?

As you may know, to help improve the economy the unions are going to screw up London for a day. Let’s all have a march!

On the 30th November, strikes, rallies and other jollies for people with time to spare will be held in protest at the government’s decision to increase workers’ pension contribution payments.

TUC boss Brendan Barber urged ministers to “engage in a genuine spirit of seeking agreement” to end the deadlock.

This morning I decided this sort of thing is a great idea. We shouldn’t sit tamely by and let this sort of unfairness happen.

So I want to arrange a day of action for people like you and me in protest at the government’s insistence that I work to subsidise the pensions of people who get a better deal – in wages and pensions – than we do.

I want to arrange a day of action to protest against the fact that this spineless government hasn’t make the cuts they promised.

I want to arrange a day of action to protest against the fact that I am still working at 76.

I want to arrange a day of action to tell Brendan Barber and his pals to go f**k themselves silly.

If I were not a law-abiding citizen I would arrange that my day of action ends by stringing up the bastard who stole half my pension  years ago. But nobody ever sees Gordon Brown.

It’s just a pipe-dream, anyhow, my day of action.

We’re all too busy.

  1. Drayton,

    I agree wholeheartedly and it is a pity that our politicians are so engrossed in the Westminster debating society that they don’t see what’s hapeening.

    If politicians could be held to account like war criminals then perhaps we might see some who actually have spines!
