Who else is going to foot the bill for it? The banks? No. The goverment? No. The little man in the street? Hell yes

VAT is up to 20% who does that affect the little man in the street, doesn't affect the goverment or the banks, or people with plenty of wonga

The goverment will be able to hold out longer than people can afford to go on strike, why fight a losing battle there will be changes, most people I have spoken to have been against the strikes and people will get pretty pissed off at not having their bins collected, their children at school, people dying due to ambulances not going to people who need them and it won't be the goverment people get pissed off at
