While I'm On a Roll (and my lunch-break)

Confused? Terry certainly is:

The Police is a job like any other and they should be allowed to strike, I expect Free Marketeers to support me here, what is the point of going into a job and then saying hey ! I'm special, this is dangerous when you knew that before you went in.

What? The police, if I recall it correctly, are objecting to the fact that the pointless waste of space now occupying the Home Secretary's office refused to follow the rules the government set up - set up because the police cannot strike. What this has to do with free markets is anybody's guess. What this has to do with the police's job being dangerous is anybody's guess.

For the record, I believe that:

• People in certain public safety roles should not be permitted to strike. This includes the Police and the Armed Services and should be extended to the bloody Fire Brigade.
• The right to withdraw your labour from an employer, which could be seen as an essential part of a free market, is an individual one. The 'right' to strike is both collective and coercive, hence is beloved of interfering statist fools, like Terry.
  

And another thing, himself addressing one of our own:

I’m not bigoted or prejudiced against anyone nor do I hate anyone, not even you.

Conveniently, I found this entirely relevant post:

remember the words of the song ? 'I've never met a nice South African'

and this:

I think he tells his family that he is a slave trader rather than admit to the shame of being a Herald journalist.

and, of course, this:

Councillor Kelly maintains his own personal website which included a recent exchange with a female visitor who asked: "Why are no women allowed to comment here? You've mentioned one being banned, you've called a black woman a liar for talking about racism but then no others have been allowed to comment. Councillor, are you a sexist?"

Councillor Kelly responded: "You have just perfectly demonstrated why, it's because they are thick."

RFS has already posted regarding this but we can see, from the few examples above that much of Terry's ouvre does indeed smack of bigotry, prejudice and hate. And this is without extracting any of his Palestine / Israel bleating.

And, just in case any Kelly-esque duvet covers (well, you wouldn't get many of them in a sock puppet, would you?) wish to pretend to contribute to the debate, yes, the whole point of this site is to make fun of a public figure who we loath. We don't hypocritically claim otherwise.
