The fact remains that BA cabin crew are overpaid and the organisation needs to be dragged out of the hangover of it's public sector days. Willy Walsh has my upmost respect and I hope Royal Mail appoint someone similar to turn that business around when it's privatised.

Don't try to make them out to be "professionals". They are waitresses that have been on a first aid/safety course. Big f**king deal.

We could not afford it then. Throughout the 13 years of Labour we ran a budget deficit. Frivalous schemes like the child trust funds should only ever happen when we run a budget surplus. The whole Labour way of budgetting makes me so angry. It's not rocket science to run a budget surplus during the good times to build up a war chest for the bad times.

Well you missed a good documentary about the awful conditions in the city. The next installment is on tomorrow.

Programme on BBC 3 now where they visit the brothels of Joburg. Worth a watch....

But at least they've got the bestest fans in the world. And it's quality not quantity. Remember that.

I think you'd enjoy the witch museum at Boscastle.

£50,000 militant has just flown 20 hours in 18 months He asked them to be brave - to put their jobs on the line, to fight to the bitter end. It was a rallying cry from a union leader to his members, reminiscent of the striketorn days of the late 1970s. Little wonder then that Duncan Holley felt obliged to line up alongside his cabin crew colleagues yesterday as they obeyed his call to wage war on British Airways. As secretary of the British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association, the 54-year-old activist is a key figure behind the strikes.

A cull is long overdue, not least because of the fact that they spread TB. I wasn't aware of them being a threat to bee's though.

But it's fair to say that most of the time Alps is the giver and SOGs the receiver.

To be fair Alpine is the stalker and SOG is the stalked.

I don't like daddy long legs', but come to think of it they're not spiders, but they look a bit like spiders.

Having a crap in a public toilet and then finding there's no paper.

Management would be forced to offer favourable perks if our country wasn't a mecca for immigrants. While foreigners keep flooding in from Poland etc workers will never get the best deal.

I'm not glad ff got sacked, but he deserved to be fired imo because it seems like he took far too much time off doing his union work.

Rape fields. Every other field around me is the stinking unsightly stuff.:mad:

How is a party that has sadled you and your children with a mountain of debt the party of the working man? It's complete and utter nonsense to think like this. The Conservatives are the party of the working man because they support business and business provide jobs. Labour is the party of the bone idle who choose a life on benefits.

The fact is that the Socialist Blair government imposed the longest period of detention without charge in the free world. Other countries get by without such medieval authoritarian practices. I agree about the Islamic groups being "fascist" - so please explain why UAF do not march against them, but choose to march with them. And also please explain why trades unions such as Unite (Labours largest donor) financially support UAF given this.

So why do ESB and co support Labour? Does this not make them hypocritical and back up Churchills prophesy that the fascists of the future will be anti fascists?

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist - Winston Churchill. Britain has the longest period of detention without charge in the free world. The 28 days we allow the police to hold suspects without charging them is more than twice the length of the next longest common law country – Australia’s 12 days. In the last decade under Labour, the length of pre-charge detention has increased at a phenomenal rate. It was only in 2000 that the maximum period of detention for terrorist suspects was extended to seven days by the Terrorism Act. This was doubled to 14 days by the Criminal Justice Act of three years later. In the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings, Tony Blair made it clear that he wanted to extend detention without charge up to a staggering 90 days. Amendments to the Terrorism Act 2006 reduced this to 28 days. The last Labour government was the closest thing to a fascist dictatorship this country has ever seen, but because it was Socialist it was acceptable to the lefties.

The fascists of the future will call themselves anti fascists - Winston Churchill

I'm sure every council house in England will have one.

No, i was adjusting my sprinkler.

The scruffy **** who's just driven up my road with no tax disc in his clapped out M reg Astra. I can't remember the full number plate which is annoying as i'd have reported him.
