It's all Labour's fault. Don't ask me why, it just is.

Absolutely. I mean 13 months is just not long enough to remedy anything whatsoever!

Do you not see any contradiction in what you have typed?

There is none - only one in the mind of people who dont understand the English language.

The right to strike is the right to remove labour.

There is no right to employment other than contractual or employment law.

Huge difference.

I think they are only strolling through puddles at the moment.

The real sinking will start at the next General Election. Hopefully............:)

The full quote of what was said is here:

Mr Cable told the conference: "The usual suspects will call for general strikes and widespread disruption.

"This will excite the usual media comments about a summer or an autumn of discontent, and another group of the usual suspects will exploit the situation to call for the tightening of strike law.

"We are undoubtedly entering a difficult period. Cool heads will be required all round.

"Despite occasional blips, I know that strike levels remain historically low, especially in the private sector.

"On that basis, and assuming this pattern continues, the case for changing strike law is not compelling.

"However, should the position change, and should strikes impose serious damage to our economic and social fabric, the pressure on us to act would ratchet up.

"That is something which both you, and certainly I, would wish to avoid."

If the unions are now actively aiming to cause widespread disruption and damage to the country, I agree, the law needs to be changed. Workers should always have the right to strike.

But this could take striking to a new, co-ordinated and dangerous level. IF it does, the law will need to be changed.

I find that hard to disagree with personally.

the Lib Dems are more worried about their own political future than the economy - their pre-election vs post election policy confirms that.

the TUC are looking after their workers and probably there is some political agenda.

the Lib Dems are probably the last people to trust in what they say.

Yet more spin from the press and the gullible masses accept it without question

did the press spin and Labour were innocent or is it different this time?

On the contrary, it only took Osborne about six months to remedy the strong positive GDP growth he inherited.
