[Marxism] British Wildcat Strike Wave?

[Jay Moore <pieinsky@xxxxxxx>]

Anybody out there have a handle on the spreading (via the Internet) wave 
of strikes among skilled workers in Britain?  On the surface it looks 
like xenophobia, which is definitely one route things will go in during 
an economic crisis.  But this article in "The Times" makes it seem more 
complicated.  One worker is quoted saying that they are directing their 
efforts against foreign corporations and not foreign workers per se.

I wonder what any British comrades on this List have to say.  What 
positions are being taken by the British Marxist groups like the SWP and 
whatever else there is?
