The TUC is just like a child.

I was watching a couple of children pestering their mother for sweets whilst waiting at the till at our local supermarket. The mother took the view that they hadn't earned any this week and didn't deserve any. There was tantrums from the younger child, and the mother explained that she couldn't afford any as she had bought the cake they wanted and didn't have any money for sweets. The elder said words to the effect that "You don't need money, Mum, you just put it on the card"

Why do you think this made me think of the TUC?
Incidentally, the mother stuck to her guns. Potential Cabinet material, I would think!

I Blame the TUC

A few years ago, I visited a country in the Far East for a holiday. I thought of hiring a car, but was warned not to do so on the basis that if I was involved in an accident with a local, I would be held entirely to blame whatever the circumstances. Indeed it was suggested that someone might deliberately try to get hurt by my car in order to claim damages.
It was pointed out to me that the logic in that particular country was quite simple, I hadn't a need to drive the car, and if I hadn't driven it, the accident would not have happened. Therefore it must be my fault.

I take the same view of the TUC. They didn't need to hold a demonstration; they did, and other people chose to take advantage of the situation. If they hadn't held it, these anarchist groups wouldn't have dreamed of doing what they did. Therefore it is the fault of the TUC.
