Postal strike has little effect

Sunday, 01 November 2009 21:39

Let's call a spade a spade - a strike is a strike whether you call it 'industrial action' or not.

Referring to is as industrial action is spin, and we all know who was the master of that!

Anecdotal evidence suggests that in many areas the mail is getting delivered earlier and quicker than usual. What this tells you about the regular postmen (no PC-ness here) is that we should all be questioning the 'postie' description that striking postmen are using to describe themselves.

Clearly they want to be seen as the local friendly 'postie' dedicated to bring us our mail come rain or shine. In fact they seem to be a militant lot, determined to prevent progress and out to get as much out of the system as they can.

We need someone to bring a bit of common sense and reality to the discussion.

Jail too good for suicide vest student

Friday, 17 July 2009 16:44

Jail is too good for Isa Ibrahim. A judge sentenced him to an indeterminate length of time in jail but suggested a minimum of 10 years.

That's 10 years that the British public will have to keep him.

Instead we should give him what he wanted, death by suicide vest! We should send him off into the wastelands of Afghanistan of some other useless place with his suicide vest and leave him to get on with it, well away from anyone that he might harm.

That would be one less fundamentalist that the taxpayer had to keep and we would not have to worry about what to do with him when his sentence was over.
