1. CDS has demonstrated outstanding military leadership. We must all take comfort from the fact he was prepared to publicly state the way it is for the Armed Forces. What will it cost him?
2. ORAC, I understand your argument and it makes compelling reading. However, what would the RoE be in the event of pickets becoming violent? What about the role of the Euro Court of Human Rights (not around in 1926)? I don't think the legal advisors to the government could make the case for a 'lawful order to cross a picket line' stick. I also believe that is why the Police aren't keen on it either.
3. Has anyone seen the spoof Army recruitment advert allegedly being circulated in Squaddie circles? Today's Current Bun had a feature on it - amusing and pertinent if true.
4. I really hope they don't go on strike for 8 days. It would put unbearable pressure on our lads filling in.
