Too tired and too little time to contribute too much of a constructive nature too this thread.
However, Broadbandings, your hijacking of a thread on a subject you clearly don't get is a bit disappointing. You contribute massively to this forum but let yourself down greatly by the thatcherite, daily mail, Rupert Murdoch ramblings you have offered so far in this thread.
I'll be the first to admit that the Trade Union movement has had many moments in the past that have been shameful. Those of us who can see beyond that know that the contribution Unions made, and continue to make, to the conditions that we are all subjected to in our working life more than makes up for that.
I'd be very surprised if some of the disputes that fee paying trade unionists have had to suffer in the past haven't improved your lot. Perhaps, not as much as the imperialists of the past, but certainly with less bloodshed.
