UK strikes - NOT amateur radio

No bus strikes today
in Cambridge

For a long time, people in public services (as opposed to private industry) have had poor wage increases in the UK, if any. 

The UK government's position is that inflation busting settlements just stoke inflation so it becomes embedded for years. This happened in the 1980s and was not good for anyone. The trouble is few working today realise what high inflation and mortgage costs are like!  I seem to remember mortgage rates approaching 17%!!!

UK inflation is expected to fall this year. What is required is fairness for everybody and common sense.
