Just seen the Chichester one. 3 idiots holding UK, England and US flags and someone with a pro Yaxley-Lennon poster. When I passed they were getting booed.

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well done Chichester.

priddy.bsky.social•24 days ago

I bet they’ll claim the Pride celebration in Brum as part of the strike 🤣😂🤣

solpadeine.bsky.social•24 days ago

All sounds a bit "lefty" to me.

localnotail.bsky.social•25 days ago

All the places where the Great British National Strike is supposed to be occurring tomorrow.
(yes, on a Saturday)

Here in Brum the pratriots plan to assemble at St Martins in the Bullring, just as the Pride parade sets off towards Digbeth from Centenary Square

thatmarkelliott.bsky.social•24 days ago

Gathering in the market square in Cambridge on a Saturday lunchtime? I'd wonder what the market traders would make of the disruption, but as they'll be lucky if there are three of them there, they'll probably just mistake them for a couple of tourists eating their burritos outside the Guildhall.

philbanting.bsky.social•25 days ago

There's even one on the Isle of Man... do they want a GE there too?

origamihippocampus.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Chichester one also organised for the exact same area today's Pride event is going through. I'll ask my neighbours who live on that exact corner whether they saw any evidence

origamihippocampus.bsky.social•24 days ago

UPDATE: No one saw any protesters but plenty of pigs 🐽 (Chi always fields ten when one will do)

capntom.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m heading into Newcastle shortly to watch a film( If the Metro and cinema workers aren’t on strike 😂 ) I’ll have a look around Greys Monument for any idiots connected to this nonsense fantasy.

capntom.bsky.social•24 days ago

Nope, just the semi permanent god botherer and people enjoying their afternoon.

clavedoc.bsky.social•24 days ago

So if that's where the patriots are assembling, where are the strikers going?

danwoody.bsky.social•25 days ago

Having a lovely day out in London tomorrow. Agenda is pretty full but I'll add a midday stop in Westminster to watch seven geezers who look like thumbs getting irate to the bemusement of passers-by

micky24.bsky.social•24 days ago

Looking forward to seeing them locked in left luggage at Lime St in Liverpool again for their own safety.

stephaniemac.bsky.social•24 days ago

Newry? 🤣 It’s a nice place but it’s very pro-Sinn Fein. I was down there a few weeks ago and there’s a huge Palestine flag flying close by the Cenotaph where they’re supposedly planning to meet….

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh, that should be interesting.

jamesaithie.bsky.social•24 days ago

It also includes Douglas, Isle of Man as a location.
Who's gonna tell them? 🤣

theveinwhisperer.bsky.social•24 days ago

Don't think it went well🤭

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

that's just beautiful

theveinwhisperer.bsky.social•24 days ago

Inbrassed?
Not at all.
Proud of Brum 💙

mrmustard.bsky.social•24 days ago

Villa fans eh?

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Me too, it was a lovely day

christhebarker.bsky.social•25 days ago

Fixed that for them…

psychoserenity.bsky.social•22 days ago

I need to be more tied in to this. I didn't hear about it until afterwards and wasn't able to mobilise for our local counter protest.

localnotail.bsky.social•22 days ago

I'm not sure it will happen again, but last I heard they were planning to get their people out at 12PM every Saturday.
Having people challenge this directly locally is a good idea I think, if you are up to it.

localnotail.bsky.social•25 days ago

Honestly at this point I am 42% certain that the Great British National Strike is an @aiannucci.bsky.social sketch

The least gbnews 'reporters', could do is wear some Hugo Boss

lordq.bsky.social•24 days ago

But it is right wing to be a total wanker!

wohyeahwohyeah.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is the one on the right a de-aged clone of Starmer? 😆

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Obviously the GBNStrike have a GoFundMe , it's raised £7.6K so far. They've been on GBNews and Talk TV.

dailyturnout.bsky.social•24 days ago

One donation of 8K has taken the total to 15K

"We oppose ILLEGAL immigration, net zero, the attack on our farmers, Pakistani rape gangs not being properly held to account, the attack on our free speech, 2-tier justice + our involvement in Ukraine war.
OUR TAX MONEY is not being spent where we would like. This needs to stop. They need to listen"

whizzo.bsky.social•24 days ago

They couldn't even write the first sentence without making a basic grammatical error, I'm impressed.

nigelcallaghan.bsky.social•24 days ago

They oppose ILLEGAL immigration - unlike Starmer, Labour, Tories, Refukers, who oppose LEGAL immigration as well.

terriw.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is that why twitters down? 😂

lordq.bsky.social•24 days ago

You'd find it much better on twitter where racist claptap isn't laughed at like it is here! 😂

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh I'm not part of this nonsense, just making notes of the madness

paneraiwearer.bsky.social•24 days ago

But no mention of their disabled relatives about to become food-zero, the sick forced into work, and trans folk banned from anywhere else.
And while their own human rights are being quietly and systematically decimated.🙄

#Priorities.

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

Having spent all week claiming 500,000 people will bring Britain to a halt today at 12pm, Great British National Strike are doing some damage control for the lack of coverage in advance by claiming "internet outages in major cities" across the UK.

jeffm2018.bsky.social•24 days ago

Just went for a look on downdetector and its now in Ookla speed test?
Different map?

jeffm2018.bsky.social•24 days ago

First I heard of this. Just been shopping. Loads out shopping. Shoppers everywhere. No strikes.

anwarovic.bsky.social•24 days ago

no news of outages on the news...link?

mad4fev.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well Twitter's clearly been taken down to stop everyone seeing what's going on......😉

irritatedllama.bsky.social•24 days ago

"It's a different internet, you wouldn't know them, they go to a different server"

lila7.bsky.social•21 days ago

Who noticed any outages?

trogdouser.bsky.social•24 days ago

It's never *their* fault, is it? Shoddy organisation, lazy supporters, bad timing - no, it's always "Something Else" 🙄

trogdouser.bsky.social•24 days ago

🤣

jago2012.bsky.social•24 days ago

They seem a little confused about the meaning of the word 'strike' too.

jimbobuk.bsky.social•23 days ago

Eh? What's this? It's all boringly normal here...

localnotail.bsky.social•24 days ago

absolute state of the sign from the representative for the Great British National Strike in Peterborough today 😱 #GBNStrike
