That time must have been terrifying with a small child and pregnant! I think That her scrapped supplementary benefit for striking.Many many moons ago, my ex OH worked for Fords and was on strike for a long time (I think it was 16 weeks) I had a 3 year old and was pregnant. He got 9quid strike pay from the union after 3 weeks (I think) and i could claim supplementary benefit for me and my daughter. Wasnt easy but we managed. The Miners had it far far worse.
Also, going back further into strikers history, my dad worked in the docks and I can remember him a) having no work and just coming home, piece time, or zero hours contract as it fancily called now and (b Strking for better conditions and proper wages. Those were very hard times !
Shift workers:
restaurants (including McDonaldâs)

Deliveroo

Ah thank you! If only Jack had ditched the drama in favour of clear communication. Yes long strikes are hard on workers and families but as you say unions don't just sit back and leave members to starve. Ways would always be found to help. It's the solidarity between the members that gets everyone through. Her dad is a TU man so would know the score. As you say, it was hardly the miners strike. We had some very politically active neighbours back during the miners strike and they used to put on a big dinner at the weekends at their house and have a group of miners or a couple of families over to help out. I remember being dead excited as we got given some tins and things to take over and we all just thought the miners were heroes. There were also bucket collections and I remember food collections as well down at the shops. We were just in Glasgow so not a mining town but shows that people will pull together to support each other. It's so typical that Jack focusses on the misery part and not the inspiring bit. Top tip Jack, this is partly why you are so unhappy.I agree.
Re her Dad, I believe, and itâs disgusting, she is cosplaying those who lived through the minersâ strikes, the miners were extremely poor due to the longevity of the strike ( Polish toys were gifted from Polish unions so kids could have an Xmas gift) were extremely poor whilst they were strikingfighting for their jobs, communities and just to eat.
According to Wikipedia the firefighter strikes were 2002-03 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002-2003_UK_firefighter_dispute). I very much doubt the story re hitchhiking, there is a huge camaraderie in the service ( like the police) and I doubt it would be tolerated could you imagine the outrage at hitchhiking firefighters arriving late for a shift due to not being able to run a car? Plus her Mum would have been working.
Unions also have funds for those who are vulnerable and miss wages from striking, when applied for, are distributed due to need and having children is prioritised, itâs not a fortune, nor close to actual wages but thatâs what subs go towards. Obviously, the longer the strike the less funds there are ( hence why miners relief funds were empty) I think this cosplay really fires up the idea of her fabulous politics. I bet she watched Brassed Off ( good film) and adapted it to her narrative.
just wrote all this and found the exact days they were out for
Although not great ( made it a tough Xmas) itâs not the miners or dockers strike in terms of longevity, it would have had an impact, but was very survivable especially with a second wage in the house. Her Dad being a union leader would also been involved with the negotiations. As a leftie union supporting Frau this cosplay makes me seriously angry. Her Strike narrative is seriously dubious, even if she was probably party to talk at home about what was happening.

That 'first do no harm' tattoo always annoys me, because practically everything she does and says causes harm.Iâve just seen Jackâs old Insta account, from the time of The Povertyâ˘ď¸. There are photos of cakes she has baked, SB eating toast in a cafe, a photography exhibition of her own work and her trying on dresses in preparation for attending a friendâs wedding.![]()
The >600% increase in care costs.So rare, in fact, that in the last few days weâve had lack of due diligence on all the below (thereâs probably loads more but these are the highlights):
- âGas radiatorsâ
- Refrigerator Volts
- The âfastingâ news article
- Cancelling direct debits for your gas/electricity bills
