I had to laugh at the CWU this morning on BBC Breakfast. It is fast descending into 'I'm All Right Jack' with their convoluted language and endless strikes.
This morning good old Susy Reid asked the remarkably simple question of 'You have said talks have broken down over a sticking point. What is that sticking point?'. Dave Ward's response was possibly the classic of the whole sorry episode: Sorry, I couldn't here some of that a bus went past.
The CWU are now doing what all militant unions always do, push their luck. No matter what legitimate points they may have the public are now getting very tired of all this and just want it sorted. The major reasons for this are basically that the Union refuses to say what it is actually striking about and what the sticking points are. Just answer the question!
"Sorry Susanna, the negotiations are confidential and are confidential negotiations. Our workers will not bow down to these confidential demands, which we are confidentially negotiating, because our workers have no fucking idea what they are. But worry not, their union representatives will make sure that the negotiations remain fully confidential.
"The main issues are not the sticking points, but they remain unresolved. We sent Royal Mail a 4000 page report on the major confidential issues that we feel our members should be promised and after 8 hours they still hadn't answered.
"Big Martin had to go home in the end because it was getting dark and his wife was getting upset. I can neither confirm nor deny whether the issues resulting from Big Martin's wife getting upset are a sticking point."

Tony McFucknut has been ordered to repay £13,837 and, careful now, apologise to the House. I think I can safely speak for all when I say that this is a jolly harsh punishment and the public will be completely satisfied.
Imagine that, having to actually get up in front of all those people and admit that you are a lying piece of shit that defrauded the British people of vast sums of money in order to pay for your parents house, but that you are only paying back 14 large because some wanker has decided that somehow that is all you owe. He must be shitting himself. Or is that pissing himself laughing?
I mean, really when you think about there is no reason why the man shouldn't have a second home in his constituency that is all of 11 miles from where he lives and where both homes are within earshot of Parliament. It's perfectly reasonable to be that much of a crooked bastard.

I had to laugh at this in the Mail today. A Mother in labour basically said she wanted all the darkies out of the room and a member of staff has lodged a complaint.
There is obviously a lot more to it and of course the woman has the right to have who she wants at that moment. But to my mind the only thing that matters is that the staff know what they are doing and not wanting any non-white people in the room really should have been pretty fucking far from the thought process!
Most women want the thing out as quickly and pain free as possible, and if that means it being delivered by someone of a different colour, the bus driver or Marvin the fucking Martian then so be it. The fact that this woman's racism kicked in at this moment in time is quite amazing.
To the Mail readers of course, this is all perfectly normal. Why wouldn't this be your prime concern at that precise moment? Patient rights innit, which like being 'anti-PC' allows you to be as racist and hate filled as possible.

Didn't think you read the Mail.
I don't vote BNP either, still keep tabs on what the bastards are saying
I reckon Old Holborn is a Mail reader.
The bitter twisted fascist cunt.
*nips out to Waitrose to buy some organic, free-range popcorn*
My seat's better, I've got that new 'in the movie' stuff.
"A Mother in labour basically said she wanted all the darkies out of the room"
I wonder if this odious womans views would change if say, she had cancer and her only chance of surviving was an operation conducted by a Pakistani surgeon.
That was, frankly, rather disappointing. The popcorn was for nought. :o(
I intially thought you were joking about the, "Uh I didnt catch that, a bus was going by"
wow
"I reckon Old Holborn is a Mail reader."
It's not a bad guess. The Mail is probably the most common story source on OH's site, and I am always seeing it used by the other members of the so-called "cuntry club" too.
Although I doubt OH actually buys the Mail. He probably just looks at the web site, so he's only a "Mail reader" in the very technical sense that every visitor to the Mail web site is, temporarily, a "Mail reader".
It would have been funny if the baby was a
¨DARKIE¨
Well, that's the danger isn't it? If one of them foreigners had touched it who knows what could have happened. All sorts thats what.
Stacey from no.47 said she once saw a darkie and she felt all funny. I said to her I said you're best off right out of it I said.
You can never be too careful these days, that's why I wear my big white hood.
"But to my mind the only thing that matters is that the staff know what they are doing and not wanting any non-white people in the room really should have been pretty fucking far from the thought process!

These statements are very naive, and show a lack of knowledge about pregnant women, hormones and the labour process.
Who you have around you during labour is important. Really, really important. You have to feel safe, secure and comfortable. If you feel stressed or uncomfortable with your environment, it causes the secretion of a type of stress hormone in your body that can make labour not only problematic and longer (what appears to be an emergency stress situation can even stop the labour from progressing), and can also harm your baby and you. It is also a factor in delayed lactation, birth fatalities and the need for a c-section.
This is why many women refuse student doctors attending their births, and many women don't like hospital births full stop. People coming in and out of the labour room can cause incredible levels of stress, particularly if they are unknown to the mother.
Although this instance was just before a caesarean, so I presume the woman was demanding the removal of members of the surgical team, I think she has a right to demand what she did. Her labour was not progressing correctly, and she has a right to feel comfortable. She should have the choice in who she wants to attend her during her Labour, on who she wants to give her medical care -- whether you like her choice or not is irrelevant. It's not you on the chopping block, is it?
Basically, Mr Boatang, you are putting the hurt feelings of some members of an ethnic minority above the health and well-being of a woman that is in a long, stressful labour that is not progressing, and is about to go into major surgery.
You really couldn't be more wrong and your comments are a tad insulting, I am not at all naive on the subject and neither are the mothers I have talked to about this story.
Hence:
"There is obviously a lot more to it and of course the woman has the right to have who she wants at that moment"
I am very clearly not putting the rights of minorities above hers, I am simply laughing at the fact that the thing that was causing her distress was that the nurse was black.
I am simply pointing out that this woman was so racist that even at this incredibly sensitive moment the biggest concern she had was that a non-white person was in the room.
Nowhere in that Mail story does it say the problem was that the nurse was black.
It says she objected to "one type of ethnic minority members of staff being there."
In my view, if a mother in labour doesn't want males attending the birth (as many Asian mothers might), another culture attending (as many Christians or Orthodox Jews might) or someone that she does not feel comfortable with, that is her choice and it should be respected -- however you may disagree.
I would personally be very uncomfortable with being attended during a normal labour/delivery by people wearing a facial coverings or mask. I would probably ask medics and nurses to take any off any surgical masks outside of a surgical context, and if, say, a devout niqab-wearing Muslim nurse or doctor refused to do so, I would demand that person leave the room.
Would this be racist in your eyes? Would I be making "race demands"? Should I be prosecuted for doing this?
For the millionth time "that is her choice and it should be respected -- however you may disagree.", that is what I am saying. Doesn't stop her being racist does it?
I have used black for illustrative purposes DJ, does it matter? It is less racist to not like Arabs?
"Would this be racist in your eyes? Would I be making "race demands"? Should I be prosecuted for doing this?"
You are now going off into Oddland, sorry. For the reasons you stated of course that would not be racist and I have not said anything at all about prosecution. I don't believe in prosecution on the basis of opinion, racist or other and have never said such a thing in my life, in fatc the complete opposite.
I'm not aware of a nurse wearing full hijab or even if they are allowed to. Although a normal 'face open' hijab would be comparable to a nun's habit so wht's the difference? There is a huge difference between that example and someone's colour.
I think you continue to miss my point. She has every right to have those views, she has every right to express those views at the birth of her child if that makes her comfortable. But it still makes her racist and it is still odd that at such a moment that was such a primary concern.
Just because someone has the right to a view does not mean that view is right. Her view is racist, simple as that
