In reply to Phelim MacCafferty’s comment on October 18, yes the country’s economy is improving, but only just, and it still needs much work to bring us all a better way of life.

In the late 60s,and into the 70s, thanks to the unions, in the winter months we never knew if we would have electricity, gas or coal.

This action pushed up wages and inflation, which affected the old, disabled and poorly paid – just to demonstrate the power of the unions.

Then there was the ‘Winter of Discontent’ which contributed to the fall of the Labour Party. Many hard pressed family lost their homes.

Now to Chrissie Windsors and the rest of the hard pressed ratepayers of this strike ridden city, if what The Argus has reported is true, then this should have been settled with common sense a long time ago, I suggest that an inquiry is set up to find why this matter has been allowed to drag on this long, and if the management is to blame, then heads should roll.

If the unions are to blame they should be taken to task.

As to the misguided words of David Freud, if you took the time to digest the whole meaning of why the question was put to David Freud you would have seen what was reason behind the question.

That disabled people need help to get a bit of dignity in their lives.

For not all disabled people have the mental ability to maintain a job in the work place, so should they be ignored or have you a political cupboard to put them in?
