On which farm was Keir Starmer first employed? It would probably still be in the same family, and there would certainly be someone who remembered him. Are there no journalists anymore?
If the ones on The Guardian and The Observer will be striking because ownership of the latter by Tortoise Media would be bad for jobs, pay or conditions, then I stand in solidarity. But if this is all because they would not like a change in the editorial line, then what change would that be? Which specific policies would The Observer stop or start advocating under James Harding?
Even if that existed, then it would make this only the second purely political strike, with no industrial dispute even at the very start, in the history of the United Kingdom. The only such action to date has been that of the Ulster Workers' Council against the Sunningdale Agreement. But in its own terms, that strike was fully successful.
There are still journalists, you are one.
