: GO for it as it is u and only u you r working for, as in life is crap anywayLife is crap if you've got a bad attitude. Get off your arse and do it for yourself. Don't wait for someone else to hold your hand.
: I am studiying at UCL preston and i don't know why cos there are no jobs and where there is theere is a lot of hassle.
There are plenty of jobs, if there weren't why would so many people from the Caribbean, Pakistan, India, Ireland, South Africa, Australia,Hong Kong, etc. be moving to the UK.
there is only hassle because of the bad attitude that is growing within the British Culture (Eastenderification of society).
Instead of working with one another, modern urban culture is based on individuals aggresively defending their own "rights", while totally ignoring their responsibilities as part of the community.
: Pay the dockers what is due, don't rip them off as this is just ripping my generation off as well.
I don't know the specifics of this case, but I have a lot of experience of trade unions being too greedy, and being the reason why their companies have gone to the wall. It cuts both ways.
Have the dockers got some "custom & practice" rules that make the port uncompetitive ?
If you don't like your employer, resign. I've done it. Its very refreshing. (especially when the management gets shafted by the owners 3 months later)
: I am concerened, cos the goverment wont help the dockers WHY?
It's none of their business. They can't even do their own job properly, why do you want to get them involved in this.
Vote Liberal Democrat or Green Party of you want to see real change. (depends on the degree of change you would like to see)
: Help the dockers and we also will vote for u.
I won't ! Let them help themselves.
If they want higher wages, let them study at the Open University and get a new career.
If they want an easy life at the footy and down the boozer, fine, but accept the going rate for manual labour and don't whinge. Its the individuals choice at the end of the day.
: Peace and Happiness ...
If you want peace and happiness, get off your arse and help us achieve it.
Neil from the Young ones is not a good role model for someone who wants to make a difference.
