This also shows how much the Tories care about anyone who is not rich, honestly, I am starting to wish I was a Billionaire/Trillionaire

And for petes sake, can you end this rubbbish about how bad union influence is, unlike the wealthy who donate to Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and even UKIP, the unions represent 6.5 million working people
I am a trade union member. But I can still see that the unions used to have far too much power, and used to bring the economy to it's knees.

We don't want a situation like we had in the 70's, and they still have in USA now. As it is almost like 'Carry On at Your Convenience'. And the unions who were supposed to be protecting the workers, were actually putting the companies out of business, and losing their members their jobs.
