The IMF have said that the UK will be the worst hit of the industrialised countries by the recession. Browns response was something like that of a schoolboy. You could imagine him standing there, hands over his ears going "no it's not, no it's not, Japan will be worse, not us, someone else". Denial at the highest level. And while it is clear that this is a global problem it is also clear that the UK has not been prepared, complacency has left us vulnerable to the effects.
But I struggle to understand those who go on strike at this time. Business is struggling and people are losing their jobs. The last thing I would want to do was walk out and hang around the gates. It seems a very risky plan of action.
