Looking on a wider scale of things, there is only one finger to point at (well several really)

Industrial action wont do any good but make the French more determined to probably close earlier. The fact is, Gordon Brown has created an economy that is false and misleading, prices have been pushed up and up, labour cost's are horrendous, not from workers demands but from the price that must be paid for his stealth tax policies. Britain can no longer compete in the world manufacturing market, not because were no good but because of Gordon's policies and phoney economy.

It sickens me to the pit of my stomach to see a once great nation, effectively on it's knees, through political experiments that quietly have gone disastrously wrong.

There's far more grief to come but I don't understand why people don't see it ? Perhaps we are blinkered and don't really care as long as I'm all right. Something again I see in the governments handling of most things.
