It's the reindeer you need to keep an eye on Rowan.
It is well known Rudolf has a red nose due to affiliations with the communist party of the north pole.

Get used to it - as the recession bites this country will disappear in a sea of strikes. Anyone who thought Thatcher 'won' anything is set to be very disappointed - we are heading for a 'winter of discontent'. I understand from the C4 News that the airport baggage handlers are the next lot out...

I'm waiting to be told we're all going out due to Cameron's public sector wage freeze. I imagine that the only public sector employee's not to have their wages frozen under the upcoming regime will be MPs. I don't expect to be proved wrong.

Perhaps now will be a good time to leave the UK?

You will be. The Police and Armed Forces will be kept 'On Side' ;)

Yep, roll on the revolution ... or at least a massive showdown between those who don't earn enough, in spite of the hours and work they do, and those who get far too much for doing little other than ****ing up the country's economy.

What a tosser Willie Walsh is.

You're probably right Mull. I expect postmen like Mick will be amongst the hardest hit.

I wouldn't worry too much - there's a bit of snow forecast for the south - so, there'll no doubt be no trains running anyway (as well as anything else!)
