I think its Jeremy Clarkson who is ridiculous personally. I seem to remember he was investigated by the RSPCA when he said on TV that hed run over a fox so his recent behaviour is not out of character.

Sorry people think Unison's reaction is a little oversensitive but I guess if so you werent part of the many thousands who actually took part in the strike action. My feelings have been running a little high also, in that many people who are the first to run to their union in a minor dispute and potential redundancy situation, felt that this matter did not apply to them and went in to work,letting the rest of us take the hit for them.

I am personally a lot of money down in my pay packet this month when I can least afford it but I am glad that I took this action. I dont understand the view of those who opposed it either on the basis of 'what about the private sector look how badly off we are'
or because they feel it won't achieve anything, or even because they don't want to be made to feel as if , after all, they are really just one of the workers. I think it probably has made a difference,but its not clear yet how.

I don't want to shoot Mr Clarkson in return, but I do hope the Intelligence Fairy visits him this Christmas to leave him a few brain cells.
