Hi,
Is anyone else attending a strike event today? It's essentially my worst nightmare but I feel so strongly about the issue that I have to at least try.
I’m glad that you enjoyed the strike event! How many people attended nationwide do you know?
It looks to be about 4 million globally. I think other parts of the world encouraged children to strike whereas most schools in the UK said "you'll get an unauthorized absence". My husband's work supported the strike but most didn't.
From looking at the photos it looks like Scotland and Northern Ireland had the best turn outs, but it's hard to tell.
