Two amazing items found their way into print during this week.

The article in the Guardian by that young person who apparently had a lovely day out joining the picket line, booing the BA aircraft passing overhead, and acknowleging the toots of support from passing cars or even a passing fire engine. Come on, everybody, come along and join in the fun. Does the Guardian make a habit of printing this sort of stuff?

The second item is that incredible lineup of University Academics who were persuaded to sign a letter they hadn't bothered to read. Or if they did read before allowing their names to be used, had not bothered to follow the history of BA v CC's long drawn out descent into confrontation.

All of which ties in with the forthcoming election. Maggie Thatcher was swept into office on just such a raft of the Medusa; the despairing pax ended up consuming each other before the few remaining were rescued.
