I can see a place for worker's unions
though there should be laws about when strikes are legally acceptable. Shutting down the Tube network on Christmas Eve because the government won't approve a 40 grand minimum wage for the task of pushing a control lever forward on a choo choo isn't socially or morally acceptable and it shouldn't be legally so, either.

You should be allowed to strike as long as that strike can't have any impact?

A fucking Tube strike is always going to have a huge impact on London you fucking hemp chewing ignoramous
there's no need to do it the day before Christmas when everybody's already having a shitty enough time trying to get to their families in filthy bastard weather.

You guys in Cov might just be able to hop on the trailer of the nearest friendly farmer that might just be happening to pass by your filthy commune on their way t'market but those of us in civilisation have rather more obstacles to contend with. LONG SENTENCE.

you have a valid point, all strike action SHOULD be illegal.

I'm not sure that's the point he's making
I'd read it more as you shouldn't be allowed to strike over something that clearly isn't a reasonable matter for protest.

Call it a compound point.
Two points in one. It's better value that way. Ask Monty, he knows all about BOGOFs.
