Be On Our Guard

Strikes are supposed to cause inconvenience. That is the point of them. There is more crime and general incivility when there are not guards on the trains, or conductors on the buses, or park-keepers in the parks, or Police on the streets. We have already lost far too much of that civilising human presence. We need to fight for any vestige of it, however apparently trivial in itself. A certain amount of inconvenience along the way is a price worth paying for that.
