SKIVERS: thousands "strike" off school.

Thousands of kids bunked off school today to "protest" climate change.

The kids blame the Tory's despite them having cut c02 emissions more than any other country since 2010.

They also chanted their support for Jezza Corbyn who will tax people so the sun gets colder. 

Why not "strike" forever ? They want to make a difference don't they?

Anyway do you think kids should be able to "strike" ?

All I can say is thank fuck they don’t have the ability to vote yet!

I'd have done it in my day. But for at least a week. Can't do much in a day.

In fact, three weeks would have been my minimum for full impact.

Many will in 2020.

Everyone is anti establishment in school and university. I'd have been out there myself.

Soon changed my mind when I saw the deductions on my pay cheque every month.

Anyone who wants to change the status quo is "anti-establishment" regardless of whether or not they're in school or University though, so you can count striking schoolchildren, war protesters, disability rights campaigners, legalise drugs campaigners, anti-capitalists, animal rights activists, the IRA, UK-based Muslim Radicals and Brexiteers as being cut from the same cloth.

Or do you decide which bits of the establishment are OK?

There is no nuance when you're in school. Trying to shoe horn you're hatred for brexit voters into every thread won't change that.

Not sure what you'r trying to say there, but I am sure you're mistaking "hatred" for "empathy" as I have also been lied to, conned and had my dreams smashed in the past by unscrupulous scheming bastards.

Well comparing them to Isis and the IRA is a bit of leap but you're welcome to that opinion of course.

Brexiteers anti establishment ? Don't be stupid.
