Thanks to Thatcher a picket line of more than six persons is an illegal assembely

Andy_C makes a good point. 6% is just not realistic in the current climate, especially when the government are still pretending the inflation rate is 3.8%

seems to me to be a shot in his/her own foot. That's exactly why they are asking for 6%, inflation is not 3:8% as some would have us believe. Wait until you retire and have a pension, and to see this lot wipe out this years yearly increase in one fell swoop with No Redress. I hope they get close to the 6% they are asking for, they deserve it in the main.

So let's get this right. You are complaining that services WERE delivered despite the strike? Unbelievable. It could only happen in Nu-Labour's Britain.

Lets face the country is in the sh*t. This always happens with a Labour Government, the only difference this time, is there is nothing left to bail us out, Gordon Brown has squandered the family silver but still believes the economy can survive. I think predictions of a winter of discontent, are way off the mark, try September/October.

May I remind everyone that those politicians are elected officials and perhaps, as a society, we should be making better choices when deciding in whose hands we place the responsibility of representation and leadership.

both partys are an absolute disgrace, and should hang their heads in shame.
