The anti-strike Bill is part of a Tory attack on your rights
Manifesto commitment: the Conservatives made their plan to end democracy clear in their 2019 election manifesto. Every Conservative voter demanded an end to democracy and a slide into dictatorship.
The Tory anti-strike Bill, that aims to undermine your ability to demand better pay and working conditions and prevent bosses and shareholders from ripping off customers for a quick quid, is part of an attack on democracy itself.
That’s the line from Jeremy Corbyn – and, as always, he’s right. But I’ll let his words speak for themselves:
The government’s anti-strike bill is part of a broader attack on our fundamental democratic rights. The Public Order Bill curtails our right to protest. Voter ID effectively erodes the right to vote for millions of people who lack access to the relevant documentation.
You see, it’s all part of a package, designed to turn you into a third-class citizen with no say in what happens to your country or to you, while the Tories and their friends/donors get to do what they like… to you.
Believe it or not, millions of people voted for this might-as-well-be-enslavement.
It was on page 48 of the Tory manifesto for the 2019 general election.
