Why Are British Workers Striking? | Late Night Mash | Dave

[@alanjones1339]

Maybe not funny but making a serious point whether you're a nurse or a bin man we all have our worth and its about time we all stood up for each other

[@richardpeace3292]

Yeah this is not funny and although its a serious point, the poor attempt at humour is actually dumbing down the issues at hand.

[@priscillaroberts7945]

But you got clapped regularly ,what more do you want?

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

Here here, man. You're right

[@whiskeyricard]

OMG, I’ve been looking for the Mash Report for ages, so glad to find here.

[@souulkeeper1384]

As always, Rachel and the whole team are absolutely on point. Nice to keep informed about things in the UK here in the US from such a smart and hilarious group of people.

[@DJTheTrainmanWalker]

Corporate greed and the myth of 'trickle down'.... will cripple not just the working class but the middle class too. Not to mention inflate the 'underclass' unsustainably.

Love the teacher critic bit

[@Timlagor]

I would rather the government gave NHS workers proper pay

[@edwardendicott3247]

Are the NHS employees all fairies? do all they need to keep them alive are claps from people?

Rachel's outfit and workers' rights rule!

[@Yomanchamcru]

I'm just trying to work out who's missing a suit: Cilla Black's Blind Date wardrobe circa 1986 or the Cat from Red Dwarf - and now that I've seen it, I'm erring on the latter...

[@Coin945]

I'm glad that Rachel's dismissal of Leah has not been misinterpreted as a race thing, rather than the very clear comment on the character's rambling talkative personality that it is. Also, Rachel is a comedic genius, and I love that she writes her own material. So intelligent. :)

[@PurushaDesa]

Anyone making that move is being utterly cynical. The representation on the show is just fine as it is (Shappi Khorsandi on Iran for instance). Liberals are gonna have to get used to more and more time being devoted to class politics, as there is no true representation if you're ignoring everyone who's broke!

[@abody499]

Fair enough on the satire, but really, that attempt at a Glaswegian accent is pitiful - just avoid trying. And it's rubbish, not "trash".

[@davidvestey6014]

Or instead of strikes that hurt the public who can do nothing about their wages, perhaps they could just ignore the stuff the government wants, like all the unnecessary paperwork?

[@chrishart8548]

Won't they just get the sack if they do that ?

@@chrishart8548 exactly. The fact they haven't done this before in 106 years of history - as in, through the Great Depression & world wars - tells us all we need to know. Stand up for them, or get used to paying £100 for an inhaler & £50 to see the prodit-monger who prescribed it.

Poor people on 60k 😢bless their hearts only 3X the average UK wage how do they cope

[@eclectica1]

@Don Doodat Obviously matey who posted above didn't.

[@Grim_Beard]

Jack, you need to check either your facts or your maths (or both). £60,000 is not 3x £38,131 (the UK mean full-time salary in 2021) or 3x £31,285 (the UK median full-time salary in 2021). It's not even double. Granted it's a very good income, but try not to spread misinformation.

[@priscillaroberts7945]

Look at the numpties in parliament,basic salary for how much work? 68k + and expenses on top. Subsidised bars and restaurants. I think train drivers deserve good money.

[@jackbeale9062]

@@priscillaroberts7945 so do care workers but they ain’t striking. If you can afford this much time of work your clearly not struggling to get by like many are you

[@priscillaroberts7945]

@@jackbeale9062 i' m retired. Have been for a good while now. Care workers have gone back to the eu for better money and more respect. It's a hard heavy work is personal care and the people who do it are the sort who will put up with a lot for the old,feeble and vulnerable they care for. And that is why they get taken advantage of. Consider the old age pension against the cost of fees in a care home. If one old person in their own home is expected to survive on less than what? £200 How come there's no economy of scale? The staff aren't paid bankers wages. I suggest you moderate your tone when you have no idea to whom you are posting comments.

[@aethellstan]

sorry, think you lost it when you admitted the train drivers got £60K a year. not a problem with the rest though

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

Sure but they are on strike in solidarity for the other rail workers making 15-20k who have been told that half of them are going to be fired. The drivers are something like 5% of rail workers. The fact that the only strikers any media is willing to talk about is the train drivers is kind of telling.

[@aethellstan]

@@FakeSchrodingersCat yeah i get that. it's the old "divide and conquer " malarky.

[@priscillaroberts7945]

That's the point of a union. Stick together and the strong protect the weak. Anybody can sweep a railcarriage but the engines need fully trained drivers.
