hopefully the link above takes you to the ft story, well if it does , my question is, If we are so defunct/so out of date/living in the past/of little use in this day and age/snail mail/luddites/more opportunities to use alternative methods, why are so many complaining about the action that has taken place and any possible future action?
Also do we need public support?
just a couple to get you going.

We were supposed to be defunct after the 2003 strikes, then again after the 2007 strikes. Rags like the FT will still trot out the same tired old nonsense when I'm long pushing up daisies.

No, I don't believe that having the support of one of the most self-centred, selfish, societies in the western world, is of any importance to our struggle.
