should the fire brigade be able to strike on fireworks night ?

i am not prepared to even consider,
striking on this day should make even the unions shiver.
this is pure blackmail and is not hansom,
how dare the fire brigade hold the UK to ransom.
it was not to long ago when you were on strike,
fair play back then as we never told you get on your bike.
but a repeat performance is taking the mickey,
don't guarantee on support, its now sticky.
you have now shot yourself in your boots,
OK they may be steel toe capped, but public support is not at roots.
number 10 have said strong words, wreck-less and cynical,
and if any firefighter gets out of this unhurt, its a miracle.
this poem has to end, my flame and the Joe is burning,
lets just hope every fire fighter can sleep well and not hear there conscience turning.


(hi tibb messag board people - how are you all ? the joe is thinking this is bang out of order from the fire bridgade and just woundered if anyone had a diffrent view and a few reasons and i can not see them myself )

Its the London Fire Brigade that has threatened to strike. So how is it holding the UK to ransom?

It doesnt bother me one way or the other. My local fire brigade wont be striking.

Of course they should be able to strike on fireworks night, whether its morally right for them to strike, well thats a different kettle of fish.

Of course - you cannot deny people the right to strike against [and try to change] things they don't believe in. It's essentially removing 'freedom of speech'.

Morally, it is not right for them to strike on Bonfire Night - however you still can't deny people their right to strike, like I said.

I think its disgraceful. Clearly doing it to grab attention but its actually putting real lives at risk. And these people are supposed to be heroic? Nothing heroic about putting lives at risk over potential job cuts. All sectors are cutting back.

Army, police and prison officers cannot strike and I think firefighters should be added to that list. If you dont like it then don't become a bloody firefighter! Some services are just too essential to be messed with by jumped up union leaders.
