J.B. I'm not taking a political side either way,My father spent 28yrs with the Rat from the 50's to the 80's.I did my apprenticeship as a boilermaker.A long the way,I was a member of AMWSU,the TWU as a transport worker with the Rat and the AFAP as a Pilot.
Just trying to reiterate what T.G. was saying,there are many considerations in the world of politics and you would be foolish to think that because you believe you have righteousness on your side,outsiders will see it.
"those who forget the lessons of history are destined to repeat them" AND the "only thing new in the world,is the history you don't know yet."
Ignore it at your peril.
