  1. Quarter of a million civil and public servants to strike

    ... doesn't work. Look at America's desperately unfair health service, that's what you want is it? Society is not just about maintaining an environment to generate unreasonable and unimaginable numbers for merchant bankers to cash in. It's about human rights, education, development and cooperation. Buying and selling debt, exploiting misery and lack of opportunity.
