I hope the trade unions in Britain are a little spunkier than over here when they only started protesting about the pay cuts AFTER these had been implemented.

We're toothless unless you actually work in an area where people care if you aren't there. In the bit i work in i think most people would be happier if we weren't!

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said that he is ‘honoured’ by his new appointment as personal fag to David Cameron.
Under the arrangement, Mr Clegg will perform household chores for the Prime Minister including pressing his trousers, brushing his jacket and polishing his shoes. In return, Mr Cameron will protect Clegg from being bullied by other members of Cabinet.
‘Of course Clegg is not a full boarder,’ said Cameron, ‘he’s a day boy. But rest assured, we will treat him with the respect that he deserves.’
‘This is a unique opportunity,’ said Clegg, ‘For some people, running around and opening doors for your fagmaster might seem demeaning. But for me, this is a price that I have to pay. That, and my lunch money.’
David Cameron denied allegations that some Liberal Democrats were already being bullied after Danny Alexander was found with his head down the lavatory and Chris Huhne had to visit matron after being given a wedgie. ‘This is all part of the rough and tumble of government,’ said Cameron, ‘I am sure that the new boys will soon get used to this horseplay and find their rightful place in the pecking order, at the bottom.’
Meanwhile, it is understood that Vince Cable will be expected to wear a pinny and serve tea to Chancellor, George Osborne. ‘This isn’t exactly what I had signed up for,’ said Mr Cable, ‘and it may take a little while getting used to my new ministerial title as ‘Scullion’.’

I'm beginning to wonder whether the Conservatives/Lib Dem have any policies whatsoever, they certainly don't seem to have any credible leadership, full of populist u-turns and stumble from one PR faux pas to the next. Labour doesn't even appear to have a party at the moment. This doesn't bode well (unless one is a banker).

As a public services worker they are not impressing me at all obviously. And our lack of funds has had a direct impact on our suppliers who have had to lay staff off. So much for the private sector 'taking up the slack'!
