calum ....i always find the statement.... ie the party of the workers ....hard to understand ....i believe anyone giving labour manually ....or giving the benefit of knowlege for a monetary gain.....is a worker ....for instance is an AB classed as a worker ...i would say yes .....but if he reaches a masters position is he still a worker or not ...surely we are all workers who draw a wage ....the word worker is used as some sort of union camerarderie ...which thankfully is losing membership world wide...we are all workers weather peeling tatties or being head of large industries ....just my opinion ......like the other phrase in vogue at the moment ....our NHS .....it is bandied about by all major parties ...each laying claim to be its main supporter ....yet it is a bottomless financial pit ....with no overall order .....yes it is a wonderful organisation for our ill persons ...but the cost can only be described as beyond the pale any private run businnes would have been bankrupt by billions ......but each of our main parties pour billions in without any overall costing process...again just my own feeling s .....rant for the day over .....R683532 cappy
