He (backed no doubt by anti government oposition), is prepared to 'take-on' the giant public services union 'Unite' (who donate to the present Government), by imposing 'provocative' restrictions and cuts on his white-coller staff before the next General Election in May.. With the 'right wing' Railway signalmans union also waiting in the wings to climb on-board with strike threats to our Rail system this Easter in an attempt to de-stabilise the political platform by disrupting public travel and opinion prior to the election. 'Willie' could come unstuck however, as Unite have the 'ear' of the giant powerful 'Teamsters' union in the United States who's members handle baggage at US airports. I personally do not support strike action or unions but see them as a nessasary 'evil' against bosses all to willing to exploit there employees. However the general public should not have to suffer whilst politicions (that lot again), play poker with our lives for their own gain. Can't they see that the general public can see through their mind games ? |

I was watching a documentary on David Cameron the other night, he was being filmed at the Tory party call centre. Whilst he was talking to a solicited caller who asked him why she had not received any party lit., he (Cameron) said to her ' I'm actualy in front of your candidate right now, i'll give them your message' Of-course the candidate wasnt even in the building, probly not even in the county. So if he can 'lie' on camera what must he do off-camera? |
