this was the point i was making in the othert thread. how can anyone who tells people to stand with Ukraine not then stand with union workers who haven't had a payrise in years, whose work is being made unsafe, and all of it in the middle of an inflation and cost of living crisis? using life events and concerts as an excuse to beat a union is a joke. thousands of members aren't striking for the fun of it. losing money by not going to work because of worsening labour conditions is also a life event.
this is where you measure real solidarity, not the hashtag kind. if you can't support workers asking for a modest wage increase then ideas about supporting a foreign war because of some faint notion of solidarity should be tossed in the bin. btw i think we should support both, obviously, but it's funny how the government and tories in general will argue that you should only support one.
