@ChefReactions Candlelite on N. Western?

@RadioFreeTom Presumably there were negotiations before the strike, though? I admit I don’t know all the specifics of what led to the strike, but it’s hard to believe breaking it “had to happen.” Unless of course there was a larger goal…

[Alton Smith @altonsmith101]

@RadioFreeTom Or — i don’t know — the union’s demands could’ve been met so no strike was necessary?

[Alton Smith @altonsmith101]

@RadioFreeTom Why did it “have to be done?”

This is Helix. He's composing a new tune. Wants to know what you think, but only after he's finished his solo. 13/10

By the time Sinéad O’Connor sang this (1992) some 70,000 children had been sexually abused by Catholic priests & brothers in Ireland. The state, media, bishops, cardinals & pope had covered it up. She was scorned.
