BBC on strike.

What a relief!

 Last night on my way home I switched on the radio in the car . It was just after 5pm and the radio was tuned into Radio Four, not a station I normally listen to theses days. I was about to change it when I realised that I was NOT being subject to the normal diet of propoganda and  self serving "news" output from the BBC. It turns out that the journalists were on strike for 12 hours.  They were not missed, and I hope they feel free to repeat the excercise daily into eternity, although I imagine they have all clocked back in today to collect their double time and expenses.

They are complaining about jobs and pensions. Aren't we all. But if they want to try and generate a pension outside the public sector feather bed, and they think they will be better off , no one is stopping them as far as I know.

Somebody, somehow should convince these people that there really is no magic money tree to be plucked from whenever they need just a "little bit more".
