RDW Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Even Deidre on Coronation street may be losing her job She works for the council doesn't she ? More likely we'll probably see Deidre picketing the town hall for a 10% pay rise and more pension. Disclaimer, I haven't watched it for years.

And how big a dent that's putting in the public finances. Youth unemployment already massive...I pity the poor sods that win the next election as the IMF will be down their throats, after a workable "DEBT SOLUTION" and we will all pay the price.
