Surely we won't be able to sit back and let GB burn, no matter how stretched we are?
We will turn our 200+ spin doctors loose, so that the public know that the FBU are striking in the face of warnings that they will not be bailed out by the Armed Forces (note, media, that's all of us, not just the Army!). Whilst strikes do have their place in society to draw attention to oppressive or restrictive work practices, when you strike and expect your job to be done by people who are paid less than you for doing an arguably more dangerous job, then you need your legs slapped.
Anybody remember Andy Gilchrist? Wonder if he is still investing huge amounts of his members' finances on extravagant meals?
