Zahawi's rant this morning is just evidence that they have run out of road now and have no convincing lies to tell. His claim that they had 2000 members of the Armed Forces and Civil Service to step in ( the PCS Union has already got a balloted mandate for strikes so what are they going to do? Go on strikes then go in work as emergency cover ? ) - is a squaddie going to drive a train - No. Is a Civil Servant a trained paramedic - No - the list goes on - in any event there will be tens of thousands across various skill sets out on many days - can 2000 amateurs fill that gap?
