Things can only get better, one hopes.
But Britons planning on heading to the Balearics for Christmas, or to the UK for the festivities, are facing possible travel disruption at main UK airports after around 15,000 Border Force members of the PCS union voted in favour of strike action last month in a dispute over pay pensions, jobs and redundancy.

As usual The Army will be trained to keep those striking areas open.
Everyone is entitled to a living wage and as the current government has blustered about this for years they have no option but to strike. What should have happened is arbitration but that seems to be a service long gone. Whilst the Government have wasted millions of pounds on PPE and lining their own pockets they have no care towards the public they serve. "There MPs Get Them Out Of There".
It would be a shame if British residents couldn't get back to England for the holiday season to be with family (or potentially, troubles coming back). But Brits generally don't travel to Mallorca after October, do they? Magaluf is all boarded up.
Strike's, a cold war with Russia, the threat of blackouts, Kate Bush in the charts, who said time travel wasn't possible.
Britain is on Strike this Month. It is a desease that has crept into the British psyche. If Company's were not earning money during the Pandemic. Then how can they afford to pay an increase in wages etc.
