Take it to the wire

Post by buzzer »

This fight we have with Royal Mail, and make no mistake, this is a fight, just as much as Julius caesar versus the celts. Ever since the expansion of the middle class in the 1980's, the Labour party has turned it's back on the very people it first sought to protect. The unskilled poor lower class, now find that they are in a minority. The result of this is that the poor unskilled are becoming more and more subdued and are having their dignity stripped away. Many of these people are poor or unskilled for simple reasons, like, lack of talent or ability, poor health, or lack of opportunity, or place of birth or just plain bad luck. Just because people find themselves in this situation, it doesn't mean the rest of society should take advantage of them. To make matters worse, the so called compassionate Labour government is importing more and more foreign workers, so as to make the lower class life even more precarious! Many foreign nationals illegally in this country are little more than slaves and have no voice at all. It's time my friends to fight back. What are they going to do without their Postman, their Cleaner, their Driver, their Shop Worker. The government has crossed the line. I am not a communist. I am not suggesting that everybody should have equal wages, but people should be treated as people, with respect. It's time to take up the fight, with union backing. If we lose this fight, we not only lose it for ourselves, but we lose it for all the other people in other jobs, who are in a hopeless situation. It's time to take it to the wire!

This one has some great scenes, and the saying originates here.
