The Coleman Diet and his Recipe for Disaster

 A link to this YouTube video was posted anonymously on my post here about the London Fire Brigade Strikes.  I must warn you that this video contains disturbing images of Tory London Assembly member and Fire chief, Brian "Cabman" Coleman, promoting I assume a new Boris and the Nasty Party diet cook book. 

Please do not view this video if you are eating, or planning to eat soon or are in anyway of a sensitive or delicate nature. 

You have been warned!

However, if you want to learn more about the real practical reasons why London Firefighters have been out on strike to try and keep the capital safe then brace yourself to get over the first 30 seconds or so...

London Fire Brigade Union Strike

Picture is from Euston Fire Station.  London fire-fighters have taken their 2nd day of strike action against the attempt by Boris Johnson to change their shift patterns by threatening to dismiss them all and “re-engage” on inferior terms and conditions. 
Fire-fighters to not take strike action at all lightly and have been forced into action by the provocation of their employers.  An overwhelming majority of fire-fighters voted in a secret ballot and an overwhelming majority voted in favour of strike action.  If the threat to dismiss is called off then the strikes would be suspended.
The next strike will take place on November 5-7th. Check out this leaflet being distributed to members of the public.
