If you've signed it and I've signed it and Mrs Boc has signed it, why does the number of signatures still appear as "1"?
 
Wan't it a comedy drama on Channel 4 in the late eighties done by the Comic Strip?

Does it round up your collective IQ into whole time equivalents ?

It now says 2. Your signature is only registered after you respond to the confirmation e-mail, so presumably not everyone has done that yet

I'm going to let Mrs Boc know you said that. There's going to be trouble!

Certainly there are some public sector jobs which require a lot of training and know-how to do, but there is no shortage of people to take up those posts. But I don't agree that a lot of public sector jobs couldn't be done by 'anyone' else. Most of the people I know from uni who have failed in their chosen career path have gone on to become teachers after about a year's training. They are idiots. Anyone can teach. I don't know what you think is so taxing about border control either?

Boo hoo. Not my problem. Every single taxpayer is paying for the sins of the government and the banks. The benefits of having a public sector job far outweigh any drawbacks they may have. I haven't got a pension and I won't be able to afford to start paying into one for at least two or three years.

Indeed. If I went on strike, I'd be sacked and replaced in the space of about a day. As it is, I work two jobs to pay the bills and have no pension at all and that doesn't look like changing for the next few years. If they want to strike, I've got no problem with that - that's their prerogative. But if they've then got the temerity to start moaning to me about how hard their lives and working conditions are, then they can **** right off.

Most of the public sector workers I know are striking today. Are they on the picket lines? No, the majority of them are doing their Christmas shopping or they're down the pub. Just another day off for them, so much for solidarity.
 
Although, It seems none of us has really considered the REAL impact of this strike? Because the schools were closed my paper lad obviously got up later and MY morning paper was over an hour later than normal. Bastard strikers do they consider how the rest of us cope with theor selfish behaviour. I think not. Bastartds, bastrads, bastrads.

I suppose that's true, in a way. Labour should have nationalised retail banking and let the rest go to the wall rather than forking over cash to prop up the banks. Then we wouldn't have this deficit.

Sadly, the ConDems seem to be have learnt and still like to shovel money to the banks.

They have a definite pension? Lucky ****ers.

You get what you pay for.

Certainly over here teachers are underpaid and overworked. The wages can't compete with the private sector and so the best and brightest **** off to the banks.
 
You seem to have a very distorted view Indie. I'm not quite sure what benefits you perceive outweigh the drawbacks of low pay, a constant threat of redundancy, daily threats of assault or intimidation, dealing with over 1500 'customers' who, at any given time, could remove me from my job, suspend me and ensure that I never work in my chosen career again just because they fancy causing some trouble. Yes, it's such a wonderful cushy life working in teh public sector.
