You'd have more respect for Union leaders who encourage strikes if they gave up their luxurious mansions and paid their whole salary into the strike fund.
Bob Crow played his cards well to secure a deal for his members. Unfortunately he doesn't know when to cash his chips in.
As an astute observer of negotiation, Kenny Rogers, once said; "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em"

Not surprising but a sad indictment of British justice.

It's not proper cannibalism, though. It's just having a tiny chunk out of each other. Proper cannibalism would be if one presenter killed the other and ate him.
I suspect that might be the sort of thing where every now and then for the next 50 years you'd wake up in the dead of night and think what the hell have I done? And then swallow bottles of mouthwash and try to scrub your tongue off.
