So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

2 things:

1. His voice has been disguised.
2. Just because his speech is slow does not invalidate his position.

Note the lip sync - it has been deepened by slowing the speech
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

I thought it was ok. Shame about the huge factual inaccuracy during his comment on the pensions deficit - he said there is a "£59 billion" deficit :shock: Don't know where he got that one from. It's nowhere near as big as that - £9 billion is nearer the mark, which still isn't good of course...

I think he got confused as its projected to go from 5 billion to 9 billion.

Just checked back to a BBC news report and last year the deficit was £5.9 billion which might explain it.

Peter John Glynn has done some cracking work in the past, it's worth going through some of his old stuff. I did think it raised some interesting points but could have had more relavence as regards day to present day and ongoing problems encountered by RM workers. The pension bit is quite interesting, regardless of the accuracy of figures, but due to the fact that unless you have a vested interest in a pension pot, outsiders only worry about their own pensions, usually when they are about 55 and it's too late.
It's a shame that the RM worker's voice had to be obscured for obvious reasons. They should have got an actor to play his part. I would have been available for the gig. Those on here that know me, know that I have trod the boards a few times. :Very Happy

End of the day, can't see the 2 Scottish MPs sitting up and taking notice, nor the general public. It might excite a lot of left-wingers at poly, uni or the politically motivated unwashed on benefits though.
