SOLIDARITY? IS THAT CONSTIPATION?
Talking to a young student recently I brought up in conversation the 13000 nurses that all signed along the dotted line to quit unless they were finally ( after all these years) to receive a decent living wage.
I said too that solidarity was needed in this new kind of "strike" protest.
Why?
Because the governmental orrificeespits are already conspiring to defeat this valid claim by nurses. ( Make an example for others say the governmental elites). It is happening as we speak, right now as I write.
The nurses are going to lose this. ( read my headline again - constipation?)
But the way that they lose is now my main thought.

How can we lose well when the winners are a bunch of shits?

I hear from the Helsinki media that reindeer are no longer considered to be romantic.
Helsinki has no reindeer and that is why northern folk laugh at this attempt to create a nice EU image.

Zola, is there an English language version of any of the Finnish newspapers?

Solidarity went out of fashion with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the advent of Mrs Thatcher.

Lapoflux - try Helsinki main paper which has an on-line English section.
search Helsinki Sanomat and there you go....

Sanomat?
Sounds like a piece of cleaning gear.
Still, helped me understand the nurses situation better.
Roll on November 19th.
