From Harper’s Weekly Review:
In the United Kingdom, mail carriers, garbage collectors, border patrol staff, rail workers, emergency responders, and nurses went on strike, and Brits were advised against playing contact sports or getting “blind drunk,” while medical services were limited. A Tory MP said that nurses should not receive higher pay because he could earn more money in the private sector but chooses not to, and another Tory MP said that bishops opposing the relocation of refugees to Rwanda were inappropriately “using the pulpit to preach from.” A grandmother from Cardiff defended her practice of charging her family, including her three-year-old grandchildren, for Christmas dinner.
