Great news, looks like the public sector will get us out of this recession after all.

LOL DT1, only by spending in private sector shops so the shopkeepers get some of their taxes back...

It is " the love of money which is the root of all evil." Money can do a lot of good as well as irreparable damage.

mr matcham;
I dislike no one and not sure what the Q means?
It was your choice not to speak after i was rightly critical of your ukip non regstered branch on the national web site, which other posters also confirmed.
You will recall you have ignored me on the times in the street (which is fine by me, even recently said hello to your wife who was with you whilst you walked on)
grown men you say???
Of course as iv told you privatly and publicly i WILL BE critical of all
CONSERVATIVE, LABOUR, UKIP, INDIES LIB DEM ETC ETC
of course im hopeful labour will see the light and they are the closest sometimes to my beliefs so of all the parties they are the ones i prefer to be in govt just like yourself with ukip.
You will note i'v been happy and contributed to your attacks on the local labour party, maybe not agreeing, but thats why we have such a wonderful cross section of views that thankfully we dont all have the same views.
how boring would the forum be if we did.
to get to the nitty gritty, you didn't like my being critical of the ukip party and that's fine, and i will continue to do so just like all the other parties and views expressed, and you wished to stop being a friend and that again is your choice.
i don't do falling out on here, but also i wont be told what i can or cannot say
its a tough political world out there mr matcham, thankfully for me im not as heavily involved as i used to be, in fact i have not been a member of any party for some years, so i can dip in and out when i feel like it
as a matter of interest in the last locals i campaigned for/with
labour candidates, and indy candidates
and also gave a great deal of advice/help to a new conservatie candidate in another town close by.
so im as lot more non political these days.
so hopefully this has answered your post

Public sector workers need to be careful.
More 'days of inaction' like the one we just had and it will sink home to people that we really do not need a lot of these public sector workers at all.
Some children have disgracefully lost a days education and some patients have disgracefully had their non-urgent surgery delayed but apart from that the public seem not to have been inconvenienced at all.
So apart from sick people and children suffering what have these idiotic strikes achieved and is it worth it?
The government must get tough on them.

wrong type of talk baz
far better to try to get the two sides together to resolve outstanding issues as many of the unions are already doing

I fully agree but behind the scenes many of the union leaders/employers are working hard to resolve any differences, many close to agreement
what we don't want is this confrontational stuff from either side

There has been something of a blow against the last three posts here, the sentiments expressed therein at any rate. There have been calls, I read/hear, for Jeremy Clarkson to be sacked over comments he made last evening on BBC1. Through tardiness on my part I happened to have the programme on at the time and heard all that he had to say. He began by praising the strike (for making London's roads clear to drive) and then, in line with the Beeb's policy of impartiality, expressed the contrary view complained of.
Just who is stoking-up the rhetoric here?
