Very sadly, every day in this country people die in fires and other accidents, they hardly make a news line except in the local papers.

But of course, the media will now publicise every single death, and the Government will wring it's hands and tell us that this is what the firemans strike is doing. I still support them, they deserve a decent wage.

Haven't you ever stopped to think that the wages paid to the workers in this country are determined by the rich? Who, mostly have little idea of what a struggle it is to raise a family, find a decent affordable house and try for a reasonable comfortable lifestyle.

How much is a politician worth? Wages for very little I'd say, since they need little qualification or skill to do the job, and yet they still vote themselves big salaries.

I don't care if firemen sleep at work, I don't care if they playbasketball, because when they are at a fire-they are risking their lives every minute for us!!!! And maybe you, next time.

I wonder if any of you objectors will tell them "sod off you were on strike and I don't support you" when they have to come and put the fire out in your house, or are cutting you free from your wrecked car-go on tell them they were not worth the wage they get-Get real
