Make striking illegal!

Screams The Daily Mail and other organs of the ultra right. We conned the public into voting for brexit, they say, what's next on our laissez faire agenda? Oh, I know: outlaw strikes. Kick those lefties where it really hurts, right in their most fundamental workers rights. They say: the right to withdraw his or her labour is the most basic right any worker should have: we say: fuck that!
               Ah, the good old days, when workers did what they were told or they'd be out of a job. If they tried picketing, beat 'em to a bloody pulp or even kill them. Why not? It was our capital that created their jobs in the first place, without us they'd be grubbing around for sea coal and eating maggots. So out of the kindness of our hearts we build factories to keep them off the streets, pay them just enough to keep starvation at bay, 'cause a dead worker isn't much use to anyone. Why can't they just be grateful they've got a job at all and shut the hell up? Hey! We've got our shareholders to keep happy, not the ones who create those profits.
               Did you see Channel 4's report on JD Sport last week? Now that's the way to run a factory. Treat them like the Apartheid bosses did with their black workers in the diamond mines: minimum, or sub-mimimum wage, work 'em to the edge of exhaustion, then X ray them to make sure they haven't swallowed any gems- the little bastards! You wouldn't believe what they'd get up to if we gave 'em even half a chance.

While we're about it, let's do away with foreign aid. I mean 0.7% of our GDP to a load of loser countries- and for what? Look after number one The Daily Mail says. Who cares that these countries are the ones we ripped off for all they were worth for nearly 200 years, the ones who contributed thousands of soldiers to come and fight and die in our wars, the ones where we still like to holiday in at bargain basement prices because despite the apparent wealth of their big cities, most of their citizens still live in the direst poverty. The Daily Mail says: screw 'em!
