Curmudgeonly views on the news of the day
You've heard of "Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells"? Well, I live in Holland Park and I've Had It. Up to here! An old curmudgeon, I rant and rave about things I read, see or hear in the News. Frequently sarcastic, irreverent and libertarian; often wrong - but never uncertain.
Motives for terror
"The GMB has still not told us the grounds for this dispute"
The grounds are:
To prove we can hurt you
To prove we can hurt the public
To prove that we are not powerless
To express our inchoate rage and existential angst
We'll make up some rationalization about why we are doing this, and think of some stuff to demand, very soon now. In the meantime, now that you know we have the power to harm, give us some face time on TV.
