I never voted for this Labour government, so my hands are clean on this one. I don't mind unions to a degree but these days they're for the middle classes, you never see a union asking for hospital cleaners getting more money. That being said Farage is the only leader who's awake to what Britain needs to be doing. Get manufacturing back up and running. Scrap net zero and get drilling/fracking for gas, build mini nuclear reactors en masse and cheap energy means a booming or growing economy. We need to be protectionists with steel and start building stuff other countries want. Aim for the Chinese and Indian middle classes. Make are own cars, huge investments in technology and education, revolutionise house building and start manufacturing and putting up capsule homes en masse. Cheap to manufacture, cheap to put up and come in many designs. Britain also has a problem with building materials being way too expensive. They need to be driven down ASAP. Forget the unions wanting control, we need to flip the economy to one of manufacturing and accept net zero is a major tension on Britains economy. It's amazing how very little the media has called out Ed miliband on the billions sent overseas for net zero, when that money should be put into public services in Britain. Labour is a disgrace and shame on all who voted for them.

My only alternative was buses until a coach service was provided by the banks and I was offered a seat on one of these. Strike days meant a very early start, the stress of trying to get on a bus/ buses eventually getting into the office late morning, the stress of trying to get as much done before setting off well into the evening, getting home too late and too tired to cook a meal, trying to grab a few hours sleep before setting out the next day.
