Two things at yesterday’s TUC Annual Conference grabbed my attention.
The first occurred as the Governor of the Bank of England rose to speak. This prompted the RMT delegation to walk out of the room and, instead of listening to what he might or might not have had to say, they went off to watch, or so it is reported, children’s television.
The second was the speech given by Merseyside’s Chief Fire Officer who pointed out that the public services were riddled with ‘bone idle people’ and that bosses needed to show ‘muscle, sack some people’.
There you have it in a nutshell. Common sense at one extreme and pointless childishness at the other.
