Is it going to be like he good old days?

I see the unions are flexing their muscles at the TUC etc, lot's of fighting talk! Obviously anything to do with cuts angers the loony left. Are we in for another Tory/Unions punch up? I'm considering comming out of retirement!

[MrsT]

retrain, refocus, relocate if necessary, as a colleague of mine once said, "get on yer bike". There are plenty of jobs it's just that we have become a little fussy and consider certain jobs beneath us.

The lowest paid sections of society are the ones who are looking at losing their jobs. They have no money to retrain, and when you are living in an area that was completely devastated by Thatcher (in my case Scotland) - where are you supposed to move to? If you are dependant on social housing, how are you supposed to move? You won't get a house in another area and you have no job so will not get a mortgage or be able to rent privately. And if you have a family are you supposed to uproot your children and drag them round the country with you while you search for non existent work? Some folk have their heads so firmly stuck up their own @rses they have no idea what it's like for people out in the real world. And the worst of it is the people with nothing had no part in the the financial meltdown, and those who did are just carrying on regardless.
