Gypsy is of course correct, look around you guys. Only about 10% of the country earn over 40K and they have to work for it. The problem is that these pages reflect militant and minority views, there is no mass support for them as the vote demonstrates. BALPA will of course claim victory, a more disreputable organisation is difficult to find, they dwell in the era of the dockers, miners, car and print unions and look what has happened to them. What other 'profession' goes into print with the anti capitalist neo marxist rubbish that regularily appears in these forums.
