Great piece Mic! This really deconstructs the dominant narrative of blaming the strikers and attempting to sow division. Vine conveniently forgets that the Tory government put uni fees up to £9000 a year, of course.

One small point: University staff are striking 18 days across February and March, not all in February, which I am sure Vine knows perfectly well.

Thanks for the nice comment.

"Walkout Wednesday" reminded me of my favourite Sun headline from a civil service strike way back in 1981: "Brolly Brigade Plan Misery Monday" 😀
