  British factories: slow, heavy breathing noises
context: Imagine if working people ignored strike laws the same way employers ignore labor laws, and the govt ignores labor law violations.     
  Just imagine.... >
  
  They would get arrested while the other two just do what they want. >
  
  But not before being pepper sprayed, beaten, and shot at! My Great Great grandfather was in the Lattimer Massacre strike. It looks like we are heading back in that direction. >
  
  Always be prepared to make bacon, if you know what I mean. >
  
  Yeah, the rich are lookin' mighty appetizing right about now. >
  
  Delish. >
  
  If that doesn't backfire into the face of the Torries next election, than the British working class are fucking idiots. >
  
  Some of my mates are conservative, and they are already saying how great it is that Rishi is finally targeting the "militant unions" fucking morons, why would you vote against your own protection in work, I just can't understand it at all. >
  
  Dumb cunts need to be held accountable somehow. No idea how but mine are the same - always parroting some media sound bite >
  
  "Morons hold opinions I don't like, so we'll deal with it by executing them" 
  Facepalm. >
  
  
  no one cares about different opinions
  
  You and the person you replied to initially sure do, considering the part you're both talking about is about acquaintances having different opinions. 
  
  this is about actions that hurt people 
  
  Those "actions" being, verbatim from the comment you replied to, "always parroting some media sound bite"?
  Wishing vigilantism and violence on people just because their opinions don't match yours, even if they are opinions stemming from ignorance is disgusting and if the tables were flipped you would rightfully point out the hypocrisy and wrongness of it. Wishing violence is something I'd expect and do see from qanon and far right nutcases. Be better. >
  
  Is an opinion an action that causes harm? 
  What are those "old ways" you speak of? I already know because you've said it, but I want you to repeat yourself. 
  "You're reading too much into it. Ps you can think whatever you want but if your government didn't exist we'd off you. But it's all in your head".  You're scary and demented, I'm now done with this conversation because you fail to see the glaring hypocrisy and disgusting rhetoric you are spewing. Have a good day. >
  
  WTF? That is a fundamental right for workers. Fuck this fascist pig! >
  
  We also have people waiting 16+ hours for an ambulance and dying or their health treatment being put on hold due to staff shortages. 
  I'm not sure if its the correct decision but health care workers shouldnt be letting people die because they want a pay rise, there has to be another way to protest that doesnt put patient safety at risk. >
  
  In Finland, nurses were basically barred by law from going on strike. They threatened the govt with mass resignation, with many nurses quitting and renouncing their right to legally work as nurses. That’s what you get for forcing basically “modern day slavery” on people. (Hyperbole I know, but you hopefully get the point)
  Would you prefer that to happen in the UK?
  Of course I agree that putting people’s lives at risk should not happen, but is it really the nurses who are putting people’s lives at risk? Or the government who allowed working conditions (and pay) to get to a point the nurses feel like the action they have left is to strike? >

  Both
  -
  Also I'm not saying its good to ban striking but there has to be a non life threatening way to do it. >
  
  If they are too important to strike, their pay needs to reflect that fact, and they should be given everything they're asking. Pay up or shut up. >
  
  When does that stop, can we offer them all 100k salaries? They could demand so much much we wouldnt be able to afford it. The amount of health care workers might even need to be cut to fit the budget of the higher wages. >
  
  Lol. They're too important to strike, but not too important to pay 100K to? It's a free market, you pay people to motivate them to do a job. If the job is shitty and the pay sucks, fewer people will want to do it. If you raise salaries, more people will do it because the salary is worth the bullshit associated with the job. If few people want to be a nurse, you raise the salary until you have enough nurses. It's that simple. 
  Any talk about budget is moot when billionaires and organizations pay less taxes than they should. Sounds like you're just upset at capitalism and want people to work for less than their labor is valued at >
  
  If it isn't clear by now this legislation should remind everyone the conservatives party hates the working class. >
  
  They could and have pretty much said it out loud, doesnt change the fact that enough idiots will vote for them just because a newspaper said it would make them better off. >
  
  Wow the US and the UK is so similar, it's funny >
  
  We both have Rupert Murdoch? >
  
  we have the trump card. dont even act like Murdoch is as stupid... >
  
  This will surely get people back on the Conservative's side. They should also push a law making it illegal to criticize any Conservatives and laws made by Conservatives in the UK. Sunak is an idiot. >
  
  Ah yes sack the people we have a shortage of genius move >
  
  I wonder if it’s only a matter of time before the class war goes from the Cold War to a hot war. I guess that would really require those in the 99% to start really taking it seriously. The oligarchs have been at it forever, and have honed it to a pretty fine point >
  
  Smells like fascism. >
  
  This is what postmodern feudalism looks like >
  
  That’s literally the point though. The sectors striking are an absolute necessity and keep the nation running. Without them, society would collapse. If he recognises that enough to make it illegal to strike without ensuring there’s a minimum number of workers still rostered, how can he not recognise how absolutely crucial it is that the government listens and initiates real change? Moronic. >
  
  Make no mistake they know how crucial they are, hence these new legislations, they just don't want to pay them a penny more than they have to. Everything they have done for the last 12 years has all been for their own short term economic gain whilst causing irreparable damage long term to our society and country. >
  
  Dude wasn’t even elected and he’s going full businessman shill for the whole country, yeah? >
  
  Jeez and y’all didn’t like the last PM either. Good luck Brits! >
  
  Alright everyone, instead of striking let's just all quit our jobs at the same time and say we won't go back unless they fix the issues. There you go Mr pleby PM no one is striking but we're all unemployed. >
  
  You say that as a joke, but in private sector that's ecaxtly what you do. Say "it's crap, your not paying me enough, sort it or I leave". If you're not being paid your worth, you go elsewhere. Instead, it's a year of discussions and negotiations, then strike, then negotiations and you get 3% more after years of arguing. And it's exactly what's happening with the NHS just now, they're quitting for better jobs. The country leaders will have to recognise their worth the hard way, as the strikes and Union isn't fixing it. >
  
  I'm not saying this as a joke, this is exactly what I did with my last job. If the country can't afford the NHS they need to cut something we don't need so we can afford the NHS >
  
  Oh my bad. I hope you've found something better and are happier :) >
  
  Aw he's taking his cues from our American oligarchs. Don't let him win, Britain! >
  
  Yeah the government have been sabotaging the rail negotiations themselves and, if the nurses can't strike, I'd love to know what they plan to do to recruit more. >
  
  I can’t believe we’re stuck with these clowns until 2025
  Even then we may end up with them again 🤦‍♂️ >
  
  This law is insane - should be invalidated and ignored by everyone at all times. >
  
  Sure. Make peaceful ways to air our grievances illegal...
  How badly could that possibly go?... >
  
  How could he possibly imagine that this would work? Imbecile. >
  
  Oppressive and undemocratic. It's disturbing to see a close ally going this route. The people of the UK have my support! Civil disobedience and protest! Demand change no matter the consequences! >
  
  Remember when our democratic president decided to steamroll the striking rail workers and sided with the bosses? This guy probably asked him for tips >
  
  If one won't, another will. Chuuch.
