I just searched on “british government workers unrest” and got a handful of blogs with this story and no original media source. That always makes me skeptical. Where did the story come from?
There isn’t any huge movement of “unrest” here. The recent strikes were larger than other recent strikes, but not crippling and no riots occured. It makes people feel better to say that the UK is as socialist as the former Soviet Union and on the verge of collapse. In reality the economy here is improving.
