All the stuff in the news today about Unison speaking to solicitors etc today, is that in some way designed to take the attention away from the lack impact the strike had yesterday?

Just asking ;)

    The strike actually halved the time it took me to get to work. Brilliant.

    Clarson went too far! It's outrageous to suggest they should be executed in front of their families, surely it wouldn't be too difficult to find a more discreet place to execute them.

    No. Clarkson's a pr*tt.

    But it's probably best to ignore him nevertheless.

    If someone would say on telly "Frankly I would have Wheezy shot. I would take him outside and execute him in front of his family" I'd be suing also.

    Let's hope there's plenty in this someone's estate then. :p

    Like Clarkson also said, the country seemed to run much better with all those spongers at home yesterday.

    Here's the answer - More cuts, much deeper and less taxes.

    It seems a bit surreal for a Union to be calling for a worker to be sacked :eek:

    Indeed.

    And all the shops/restaurants were busier than usual as well.

    No wonder "Dave" looked so smug about it.:D

    Does anybody have a guesstimate at how much the taxpayer saved in wages not needing to be paid for the day?

    I would suspect around 2 or 300 million.
