i just love these bits:
"Some of the other complaints against the union make even less sense. Prescott often cites the firefighters' "generous" pension scheme, but they have to pay into it in the first place. You might as well say: "And they receive generous supermarket benefits. They have a scheme with Tesco whereby, as long as they pay money to a cashier, they are entitled to take away bags full of household items."
Or, with its usual logic, The Sun complains that "long-suffering army wives blasted striking fire-fighters and demanded 'give us back our men'". Apparently one mother said her daughter no longer recognises her dad because he's been away so long. That's six days so far. So presumably The Sun's line on war with Saddam will now change to "Bomb Iraq, but not if it's going to go on all week". "
