The Great British National Strike - Get Involved
Great British National Strike: Uniting for Change & Action in the UK
In a time when many Britons feel unheard, overburdened, and disillusioned with the current political landscape, a grassroots movement has emerged to channel that frustration into collective action. The Great British National Strike (@gbnstrike on X) is a volunteer-led initiative pushing for mass civil non-compliance — not through violence or division, but through peaceful, coordinated demonstrations of people power.
Organized by Richard Donaldson, a former British Army soldier from Chester, the movement aims to remind those in Westminster that they serve the people, not the other way around. With a focus on everyday struggles like skyrocketing energy bills, failing public services, unchecked immigration, and a sense of national betrayal, it's gaining traction among those tired of protests that fizzle out or leaders who prioritize personal gain over public good.
What Is the Great British National Strike?
At its core, this isn't your typical union-led industrial action or a one-off march. It's a nationwide "strike" designed to halt the status quo by bringing ordinary citizens together in a show of solidarity. Key demands include:
- Economic relief from sky-high energy costs
- Fixing the NHS, police, and schools
- Stricter border controls and an end to illegal migration perks
- Ending MP corruption and back-handers
- Abolishing inheritance tax and net-zero burdens
- Full independent inquiry into grooming gangs
- Protecting free speech and British identity
Next Big Action: Week-Long National Strike – Starting 2 October 2025
A full week of peaceful non-participation: no work, no shopping, no business as usual. Just 15-20% of the public staying home would bring the message home loud and clear.
