Many of whom will lose out big style when public sector supply and service contracts are cancelled.

If you really want to work out to the point of being unable to walk or stand, try a ballet class Many years ago, some footballers did this with a Russian Ballet company. They couldn't cope. I used to get a number of amateur footballers, athletes and weight-lifters at my fitness classes. They couldn't cope. Or try this: http://www.zumba.com/us/

Err the country's debt, I think you'll find, brought about to a great degree by irresponsible bankers and other financial institutions. Many respected economists are of the opinion that it is best to spend (and certainly not cut) our way to recovery. I'm inclined to support this view.

I'm not so sure. It's not to do with job cuts or wage freezes. A lot of people, whether in the public or private sector, are set to be disadvantaged by cuts in public spending. Many services that we all rely on may be significantly downsized / privatised / withdrawn altogether.

From the analysis (in the BBC link) by the BBC's political correspondent, Ben Wright@ So talk of a new winter of discontent may be wide of the mark, not least because secondary picketing is now illegal. But also because union leaders like Barber will be very wary about embarking on strike action that hits the users of public services hard and risks turning their members into villains. But the media always like to trot out the old 'Winter of Discontent' mantra.
