I was surprised to receive an e-mail from one of my children's schools earlier, saying, 'We are happy to authorise leave for any students. Please let us know if your child will be absent due to taking part in the strike.' I was particularly surprised because my child in question is two years old.

But I oppose these strikes; I don't support strikes in general. I think strikes are a sense of a failure, whether in an employment context or whether here, and Plaid are boasting about how these are happening everywhere in the world. Part of the problem of them is they are indiscriminate. I give way.
