ICTChris Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 32.5 hours a week? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 7am to 7pm ties that off nicely, with a few extra hours. Rest of the week the kids can go out and get jobs to help pay the bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought some people banged pots and pans once a week? Don't they know that our weans painted pictures with 'NHS' written on? 6 hours ago, ICTChris said: This is a weird poll IMO. I'll say. Were they really expecting there to be many people who'd support a group striking that they didn't sympathise with? "The fire brigade get paid plenty already in my opinion but, as a pyromaniac, I'll obviously be supporting any industrial action they wish to take part in". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no real improvement on conditions for yer average uniform officer, most of the non pay related changes ties in with allowances for higher ranks etc and a speciality payment for people working on islands etc. Its essentially a flat 5% rise, look its not great with the cost of living but its probably the best they’ll get just now. 3 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: It's up to all of us to make the b*****ds work for it! I think with the rising tension amongst the general public over energy bills etc then that’s a given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would guess the senior folk do a lot of goodwill stuff and haven't had a change of conditions for a long time, just reading the federationa release stuff like disrupted holidays isn't something many civilians would be used to nor accept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday disruption still going to happen. Nothing really changed there. No i agree they do deserve a bit of change there, absolutely, but for the vast majority there’s no real change. 57 minutes ago, oaksoft said: A glimpse at the crowd outside the Tory hustings in Perth tonight is a good example. Things are going to get potentially very ugly over the next few months. You can’t blame people for feeling angry/desperate. The tories are completely corrupt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Lots of greeting, wailing, and teeth-gnashing in the press about being insulted, abused, and egged on the way into the event. Absolutely no contrition about being a vile Tory c**t who is enabling the asset-stripping of the UK and a government who clearly couldn't give less of a shit about the chaos and penury they have caused. They should be grateful they weren't being pelted with bricks and broken bottles. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in Scotland hate Tories and their hateful policies. If the height of protest is a few eggs I'd call that very tolerant compared to most other forms of protest across the continent. In other news, big loud protest from Unison/RMT (and a few other unions) booming through Glasgow right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want a fair, just, inclusive society, except for those who we disagree with politically? They're just vile scum c***s because they believe in different things to you. What's the bar to be able to brand someone a vile scum c**t. What's the acceptable difference you have to have? Is it only politics? Are you allowed to do this for religion, or sexual orientation, or are there other acceptable areas where someone thinking differently to you is not acceptable? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I disagree with Labour politically. For example, on Scottish Independence. I would not call Labour or their voters scum because they, by and large*, do not do nasty, spiteful things in the name of the Labour Party. The Tories are fucking scum because they have ideological viewpoints that result in abject misery for large swathes of human beings to allow the betterment of their own class. It's not about "disagreeing with them politically." That's what I'd expect a tory to say to try and bind you to the ties of the illusion of decency in their nonsense Parliament and its rules where you cant even call a lie a lie. Its a cop out. I am proud of Scotlands tolerance because it speaks to a defence of the many from the worst excesses of a tiny few. *not you Tony. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good logic. It's probably more to do with the subjects you choose to be contrarian about. You're well aware of the policies they've implemented, and their effects. You're bound to have suspicions about where they plan to take us too. All that taken into account, they'll be delighted that the most pushback they've experienced has been some thrown eggs and verbal abuse from a few roasters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
