Count N,

Hollow rhetoric again. You can make your grandiloquent statements about motivation all you like. It doesn't make it true. You purport, time and time again, to speak for the motivation of...

One point at a time.

Quick final point.

Yes we could strike re the new joiners pay. The problem is, we don't have an industrial lever with that so we really, truly can't win that fight. Willy will do what he did with...
