A subtle change from politics then... Do ambulance workers need to strike when they spend much of each day queuing outside their hospitals? Actually, restless of cost, the Nation owes so many workers, who put in massive service during Covid. Can't afford though because of all the billions wasted on spurious PPE deals. What do we owe nurses, doctors and paramedics ? Thank goodness we have a Health Secretary like Steve Barclay whose talking tough and showing everybody whose in charge. Sooner we get rid of those pesky NHS workers, the better. Yet, in Scotland amp.theguardian.com/politics/2022/dec/12/health-unions-call-off-strike-action-in-scotland-after-new-pay-offer

Yes, people were allowed to walk around as they pleased. We had to be careful accessing the car top etc to make lock adjustments or do maintenance routines. It wasn’t a problem but you just knew not to engage , in case it didn’t end well for a number of reasons! I regularly worked in a Jewish residential home in Golders Green- a few times I was asked by residents to fix toilets or bells that didn’t work etc. I just ignored it, reset the lift and left pronto. One time I had to do some welding- that was worrying as we had no protection from the arc other that the head shield I wore. This would have been 70’s early 80’s. Jeez... We led very different lives in the 80s... -I was born in the 50's and in the grand scheme of things, not that long after WW2 and the country was a very different place.The 'men' were very different- they had all seen service. That meant when I started work in the early 70's- i was taught and in some cases- disciplined by men who had seen how to get things done and deal with slackers or long-haired hippy types such as me! Some days were painful. But i learned.

It's horiffic, ain't it. Looks like it could root out a lot of greedy scumbags. Good riddance to them I say. They can always come here and do it. It seems to get you a place in the house of Lords.
