The British oath..

I swear to eat fish and chips once a month and drink British Ale while eating pie and mash. On Sunday afternoons I will eat crumpets at 4pm and settle back for sport highlights.

I swear to carry out my duty and cast my vote when the time comes and watch PMQ's live on SKY News and most of all have a dam good moan about the British weather.

Every Xmas I will write a letter of complaint to the BBC about their bloody awful rubbish on TV over Xmas and why should I pay for it.

And finally don't let the B'stards grind me down I'm British and proud of it.

I can only see the multiple threats of industrial action adding weight to those in government who want to see tougher anti trade union legislation passed.

I don't know if all these strikes are linked together or not but if there are more strikes from other areas of employment could result in as you say jim.

Depends on what part of the country you come from

It's another By-election in Jan as former Labour MP Jamie Reed steps down and his majority was 2,564 in the Copland seat.

Looks like 2017 will be off to a early start testing JC's leadership.

Have to wait and see the list of candidates, Labour clearly will have to fight hard to hold this one.

If that happens then they will loose the seat and if the Tories put up a EU sceptic that will cause UKIP problems as they came a poor 4th place in 2015 general elections.
