Keep striking ..dont let up

Coming to a neighborhood near you

Well there's a difference.....there is workers and there are slaves....which is which or are both the same?

Who cares?

Those are government jobs. What are they gonna do about it? They can’t stand up against their government. The signs won’t make anything change. They’re beholden to whatever their government makes them do. They have no way to defend themselves against tyranny.

They still find the money for Jubilee, funeral and now coronation but not for hard up workers. Corrupt conservatives just don’t care for their ppl.

These pictures make the uk look like we're all out on the street in reality most of us are getting on with our lives working hard and realise that the money the government paid out during covid19 to keep us alive has to be paid back one way or another all this conflict is stupid

Print money, fight Russia, screw citizens, encourage illegal immigration, BLM etc. USA and its lackey UK are digging their own graves 😂

Our economy has failed as quick as your network! TwitterFiles nobody will ever trust Media after the collusion & censorship of citizens. Manipulating Americans in such a way should be a crime! CNN=Corrupt News Network! NeverTrustMedia Misinformation 1984
