I’m not too sure what to think about the firemen’s strike that we’re enduring just now. On the one hand, I certainly wouldn’t want to endure a fire just now – but then I never would. And it has certainly caused me some inconvenience today, with the tube operating a far more restricted service than I was anticipating. Getting home from work was a nightmare. But then they do earn pretty poor wages considering they put their lives on the line everytime they go to work.
I’m absolutely certain that I would prosecute every one of these cretins who are wasting the army’s time going out on hoax calls, and setting fire to cars on wasteland and the like. The police say that they’ll prosecute, but how many arrests will we really see.
