Firefighters strike begins
At exactly 6pm the doors of the main fireservice depot and HQ were flung open and the firefighters inside walked out on strike. They were led by FBU general secretary Andy Gilcrest who gave a brief speech to waiting media. They were also joined in a show of solidarity by uniformed fireservice management who stood with the firecrews on the picketline.
Tony Blair has said that the FBU's 40% demand is out of the question despite his own ministers getting a payrise of (wait for it) 40%. Perhaps Tony & friends should spend a week pulling people from burning buildings and cutting maimed children from car wrecks before they dismiss this payclaim?
