janestarzIn reply to the plans of the people's representatives, the unions have decided to go on strike. They too represent the people, the working people. Those who actually have a job that requires more than sitting and behaving badly. In any case, the problems are that the ministers (the people's so-called representatives, the ones we vote for every four odd years and then totally seem to abandon all reason and just do their thing in Den Haag without really listening to the ones that put them there). Anyway, these guys want to change the pension plans and the unemployment benefits. Everyone who's already down in the gutter, ow, let's trod them in the muck a little more. Because, after all, those business men that have two houses and three cars already pay too much taxes anyway, and hey, let's skip the education of our nation's future, just cut down the money we pay the old people and the ones that bent their backs for fourty or fifty years, demotivate them and live out our lives in luxury!
No I'm not angry about this, I'm just fucking pissed off
So, now the unions say enough is enough, and the entire public transport system is down. There isn't a train driver in all of Holland ready to get in his train and drive. Some buses drive, but all trams, trains and subways are down.
And remember those bastards who say they rule this country? The ministers? One of them dared say that "the public transport strike will cause the people too much inconvenience". Which bit don't you understand fucker? The bit that we put you on your comfy blue chair or the fact that they are on strike because you are causing all of us a lot of fucking inconvenience!?
Now I don't always agree with Wouter Bos of the PvdA, (comparable to Labour), but I'm thankful Balellende (Balkenende, our prime minister) is in a hospital because I'm sure he'd have a speach, wave his wand Barry Trotter-style, and say that the people should worry more about normen and waarden in stead of going out on the street to protect our very lifestyle.
I already hated politics, but that comment of the people on strike causing so much inconvenience only makes me hate it more. Don't cut funding on welfare, education or health, cut the people that actually have money to spare...
