To be honest, I don't have much sympathy with BA over the planned strike by cabin crew. Not because I support the unions position - I don't. As far as I can see, this strike will probably result in a lot more of them losing their jobs and having to take pay cuts as it will probably be the final nail in the airlines coffin - but if they want to destroy the company that pays their wages th...

So with Alec Salmond fighting for BOS's Scottish jobs at the expense of Lloyds TSB's and Halifax's English jobs, who of our English democratically elected leaders is fighting for English jobs ? That's right - nobody. England: land without representation. The Scots pick our pockets and screw over our employees. When can we leave?

I am utterly sick of this, Brown is spouting faux Britishness to the English at every turn and yet proping up Scotland with more State aid and influence at every turn.
