Down Pens And Walk


The kidnapping of Alan Johnston is, like the kidnappng of anyone, terrible. But, I am sorry, journalists going on strike. It isn't exactly nurses or firemen is it? It isn't going to cast fear into the hearts of the community. "What, no 10 o'clock news, Noooooooooo, how could they do it". Journalists chanting "Hell no, we won't write". People in the streets "well now I don't have a newspaper I really think those kidnappers were bad men, they runined my life". Scabs trying to cross the picket line having ink squirted on their clean shirt, notebooks being tossed in buckets of water. Reminiscent of the miners at their worst isn't it.
