Support the fire fighters

Jay-B | 22.10.2002 11:14

Take 5 minutes to vote in favour of strike action by the firefighters on the BBC's news site.

Visit the front page of the BBC news website and click "yes" to support the fire fighters. I know it might sound trivial, but we're in a propaganda war, and there's not much point in sitting back and letting our enemies win it.

Useful to vote

I voted yes - let's hope many others do the same - here's a part of a post I made earlier
it ought to be possible to connect antiwar events like the 31st October to the firefighter's desire for a halfway decent wage. These are people who risk life while the wish of the trillionaires is for continuing profit and power over the whole earth and a reduced populace through war conflict disease and poverty.
Let's support moves to remove the Blair government brick by brick. The firefighter's wholly reasonable claim, though even with the amount of time spent around waiting for a call they'd have to pay me about 50K to perform such a dangerous task - offers an opportunity to provoke heartfelt opposition to this government's intent on destroying property and people through fire and explosion and more subtle means worldwide,in contrast to these people whose job it is to rescue us from such catastrophe.The values conflict couldn't be more clear
Who could the Bilderbergers choose next? Surely not that whispering ghost IDS and the faceless hollowed-eyed practitioners surrounding him or even that joker from 'Have I got news for you' nice though he might be.
Approaching is a means for removing all these bastards from power if we know how the game unfolds and are willing to spread news of what they are up to from 911, to palestine to bali to the way they materially and spiritually fuck you over
