I do know one person who did keep his job, and surprisingly when he hit a worker, but he could prove that this person was verbally assaulting him. I still do not know how he did it but he is the only one. Everyone else has been summarily dismissed. I worked with the Highways/Transportation Dept of Lothian Region/City of Edinburgh and was a shop steward so I was at the sharp end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-47068271972771312382015-03-26T12:52:12.764+00:002015-03-26T12:52:12.764+00:00Niko, as a person who seems to be able to read, ar...Niko, as a person who seems to be able to read, are you suffering from word blindness when things just do not come out the way you want them.<br />Sad little boy, I realise you are not old enough to remember these things and are happy to believe the Liar Party, but indeed when 11 people can do the damage that Labour say they did, just think how frightening it will be when they just might be 50+.<br />They did not, as Mr Callaghan says himself, they did it to themselves.<br />Bad Taz, but I do not believe your master when he says you ate his homework.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-10882128376040933562015-03-26T11:27:24.963+00:002015-03-26T11:27:24.963+00:00I see someone bemoan the loss of John Smith.

They extracted a few concession for that support.<br /><br />Annabel lambaster Alex at FMQs and voted against him on many things.<br /><br />The Liberals even under Farmer Giles did work with the SNP on drugs and alcohol issues and voted with the government on them and a few other issues.<br /><br />The Greens too voted with the government on things that were green enough for them.<br /><br />Even on a few occasions Labour voted with the SNP... on various sporting things for example.<br /><br />It's called getting the country governed and sensible politicians know it's their job to do that.<br /><br />Cameron of course is a fool.

The Irish, the Liberals...<br /><br />The thing was the government were finished anyway. It would only have been a matter of weeks before they would have had an election and after Uncle Jim's catastrophe they would have been history..<br /><br />The truth is that the British people (including Scots) voted for Thatcher, then voted again and again for her...they (minus most of the Scots) then voted for John Minor.<br /><br />You can't seriously tell me that after the Winter of Discontent Labour would have won a few weeks later?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-81064191088259693922015-03-26T01:00:44.202+00:002015-03-26T01:00:44.202+00:00Well, Clarkson is an arse.

He's a racist, a misogynist, a cad, and a spoilt brat who believes he's something special. He vaguely reminds me of the type of Hollywood star that thought that they could go into a strop for hours, because they were THEM. He;'s not talented. he's amusing to a certain kind of person becasue he's coarse and he says it on the telly.<br /><br />He's of his class. <br /><br />If people want to watch that kind of stuff on the BBC, well, why not? At least he is less offensive than Rolf Harris or Jimmy Savile or a fair number of Thatcher's cabinet or the royals. And we had to watch all of them on telly.<br /><br />However, it's simple... you go to work drunk, you abuse a colleague, you shout your mouth off for 20 minutes causing a scene, then you put a bloke in hospital because you're a thug...ask yourself what would your boss would say?<br /><br />So, why oh why would it be different for Clarkson?<br /><br />That David Cameron said that he hoped he would NOT be sacked is an abuse of his power. It would have served him right if IDS had come into Downing Street and given him a good hard rap in the jaw.<br /><br />It would have been even better becasue IDS would have been carted off to the pokey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-19599844074801420072015-03-25T21:44:54.655+00:002015-03-25T21:44:54.655+00:00jimminy
