Problem is that the Whitehall W&nk£r$ won't pay attention or even admit there's a problem unless they fear for their popularity.

Take the London Cabbies yesterday, for example, they saw that the groundwork was being laid for mini cabs to encroach on their territorty (waiting in a rank) that they converged on Trafalgar Square and brought the centre of London to a standstill for a few hours.

Did the public go on about overpaid (I know one who pockets £6000 per month net) folk whining about the potential of taking a hit on their income? Did the public go on about Cabbies having to understand that it's credit cruch time and they need to to put up with it?

Like heck they did - most members of the public were quite supportive of the Cabbies and understood why they were striking.

Heck if we have to go down the route of sensationalism then so be it: I'm thinking "danger in the skies, who's watching the planes?"

or "ATC... Railtrack part deux"

It's time for us to stop taking this $hit and make some noise
