You'd never guess these cants were union employees would you?



Qualified for the square root of fukk all, yet determined to try and hold multinationals to ransom. I hope they all get sacked, like Boeing's done as a result of recent strike action.

You either like it, or lump it.

The world has changed and the best people get the job (unless it's in the public sector).

So how do you go about getting british people british jobs?

Get them back to school.

My mate (who taught me 80% of what I know about car maintenance/repair) is in his 40's and was a high school drop out.

In the past 18 months he has realised the score, gotten off his ar5e, gone back to college and got his 17th Edition, and is now doing his ECDL, despite being out of education for almost 30 years. He knew the score and has gone about bettering himself.

Very rare these days.

The Union leader is a guy called Billy Bones. He's well known in the area as a trouble maker. My dad worked with him 30 years ago and still remembers him.

Ironically, there is a semi-valid grievance here but they're going to end up like the miners if they're not careful.
