We've discussed this before, and we both think the nation's psyche changed forever in May 1979, and we became more concerned with self, than the greater good of society in general.
Again I'm raising the point because I don't know, isn't this different?
'If' private sector workers aren't as keen on supporting today's strikers, might it not be because that they've already had to bite the bullet, and have accepted that the future isn't as rosy as was once promised, because we're in such finacial dire straits?
If they're being forced to work longer, for eventual pensions much smaller than at one time was expected, in order to shore up the more generous state contributions of public sector workers, perhaps that's why there's very little support from them.
