You miss the complete point of the protests: THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

Unions want all sectors to pay their fair share. If Government had managed the economy over the last 10 years we would have seen off the worst of the recession.

While you continue to obsess about public sector workers, the Government continue to pump extra billions into a corrupt instution: Anglo.

Have you been reading the papers at all? Have you any concern about Anglo getting a near 10 billion as the Christmas bonus is taken away from the unemployed?

If this happened in France there would be riots.

Unfortunately, we have a population that believes the propaganda, falsehoods and the nonsensical, ....the Lisbon Treaty debate is a case in point....
