In a surprise turnaround, David Cameron came out today in full support of striking public sector workers, especially if the striking is done with police truncheons.
In a statement, the Prime Minister said:
Anyone who knows me can vouch that I have always supported striking workers with implements of any kind, especially those in the public sector, and in fact I would be more than happy to join in the striking myself, if it meant I could personally wallop a couple of workers with abandon.
Mr Cameron went on to say he would be happy to see striking of workers become a normal part of the political landscape of modern Britain:
I’m actually looking forward to seeing as many strikes as possible and that’s why I’ve instructed the police to lay into anyone they feel like having a go at.
A spokesperson for the public sector unions said:
We’re not surprised the Prime Minister supports striking public sector workers. Tories love bashing anyone in a union. And he’s spent the last 2 years cutting, slashing and trying to destroy us. And now he’s got Osborne squeezing our members so hard it’s enough to make your eyes water. So f*** him.

Please feel free to comment – you don’t need to register and I’m extremely minimal with the moderating – so fire away:

Alarmed by the consequences of a general strike, the non-striking heads of public schools have announced that they will be more than happy to supply cadres of young people to volunteer to run essential services arguing that the tasks undertaken by the public sector were obviously so simple that they were very lowly paid and clearly would not be difficult for those with a modicum of the right education.
