Whilst I can appreciate spineless Bliar's reluctance to use the county fire fighting eqpt as opposed to the GG (just wouldn't do to cross a picket line would it?) but I do wonder why we are still paying good council tax to keep these plonkers on the picket line in a nice well lit, warm environment - no doubt they take turns on the picket line and then use the station facilities to eat, drink, sleep etc. - Shouldn't we lock the stations, turn out the lights and hire security to keep these nobbers on the pavement all night?
PS - I couldn't help wondering how many 'Firefighters' are prepared to let their children burn to death for the cause?
Rant Over.
