    Anyway, most of those who struck will be foregoing their little gains in the next fews when they lose their jobs, as austerity really starts to bite.

    The pattern of temporary gain (heralded as 'a stunning victory for socialism') followed by major defeat (the depression of the 30s following the failed General Strike of 1926; the Thatcher revolution of the 80s following the so-called Social Contract of the 70s). You should remember the latter as you are old enough to have lived through it.
    Once again, you make a statement, I refute it with evidence, and you just scorn the evidence.

    What is it about my being older than you that bothers you, Mandy?

    I'm afraid scorn is the proper due of unconvincing evidence.

    To give an honest answer to your second question: the total lack of emotional/intellectual maturity that one would expect to find in someone pushing 62 years of age.

      You must be thinking of someone else, Mandryka - what are you using as evidence for this age?

        Actually, if you were only 12 (and most of your posts could certainly have been made by someone of that age), I'd give the same answer.

            Cited article did not offer convincing evidence. It really is not good enough to just post a link to an article on another website in lieu of advancing a CONVINCING counter-argument.

              Cheers Mandy!

              You're renowned for your fatuous views but now everyone can see that you're hopeless at maths too

                There ought to be a job waiting for him at the treasury if you are right !!
                I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                I am not a number, I am a free man.

                      Maths doesn't come into it. Your behaviour is pathetically immature, no matter what age you might be. But you did once make the mistake of revealing how old you are in one of your other whingeing and self-regarding posts.

                      You're failing to make me hate you, though. I pity you, as you clearly aint got much to live for.

                        Oh, now I getcha! You're 51 years of age, rather than having been born in 1951. Right!

                        As I said, still pathetic. Still sad.

                              Just to put Mandy out of his misery, I'll be 60 just before 2012
