Well John,

It seems you haven't read the article fully.

The only mention of a strike was in this sentence.

"But she said no-one was talking about a general strike - which unions cannot organise as they each have to ballot their members separately."

Hmm ...

ok - so what is your point ...


That they are wrong to speak out about the fact, as published by the IFS (institute of Fiscal Studies) that the poorest in society, working in the lowest paid jobs, are bearing the largest burden in the cuts?


Oh - should I take it that you think the poor should be punished?

And the the bankers should be paid bigger bonuses?


You do realize that when the government beiled out the banks it made the taxpayer the biggest shareholder ...

we pay their wages ...

we saved their jobs ...

and we are being taxed more than ever to pay them highere wages and bonuses than they earned before the crunch ...


Do you think thats right?



ok then John.

Its madness to criticize that isn't it.

And to do so is something that only a dyed in the wool socialist would dream of.
