    I guess you weren't on any picket line then

    Well done, on taking advantage, I can't blame you, I just wish the rest of your "comrades" would wake up and realise how lucky they are.

    I only started in the public sector last year so I know how good the revised scheme is never mind the original one.

    Another lack of tolerance from those who preach it ...

    A nice piece about those who take some things a little too seriously.
    Do those who are "disgusted" in this forum really think he meant for people to be, quite literally, shot?
    It's a giggle, a wind-up, a bit of frothing. There's enough of it on here that all should be used to it by now.

    also what about the bone idle? do they need to contribute more or less than the normal hard working people.

    how many normal hard working people do you know.

    why the fvck is everything these days measured in terms of "normal hard working people" or "hard working families".

    I loved the unison spokesperson talking about taking legal action.

    Interviewer: "So what laws do you think he actually has breached"

    Spokesperson: "Well we don't know, but we've taken advice and hopefully they will find something".

    Yer, it wasn't a great thing to say, but it made me chuckle.

    Unison are trying to go down the route of "shooting" and "frightening workers making them feel unsafe". It's absolutely pathetic.

    He's another one that wants shooting.

    Simply makes the the Union look stupid IMO.

    Does wonders for the Clarkson persona and brand.
