    The story yesterday of the two men who were jailed for 14 years each for the rape of a mother while her toddler was in the next room.....that disgusts me.

    This story, my good man, is a sign of our unfortunate and gloomy times.

    You probably wont get much beyond comments here. There is a dedicated South Forum under Region - you could also try politics

    an 12 people versus 400+ in Waterford Crystal. In this climate, you haven't a hope.

    The Kerry Group have reached a new low-low

    Where have you been for the last few days? Waterford Crystal? Please. :rolleyes: The workers from Waterford Crystal aren't even getting the support of the Government. So please don't expect me to feel sorry for 12 union drivers who thought they'd have a job for life.

    In fairness, advocating a boycott of Kerry products won't save jobs... in fact it would have the opposite effect

    There are people losing jobs everywhere. If only 12 guys are losing there jobs that's a lot better than places where a few hundred or more are losing their jobs.

    I think that the Kerry Group thrives on slave labour outside Ireland, in Mexico, to name but one place. They've got the same attitude as Dell.

    Mind you, I've never yet spotted a Kerry Group driver who wasn't using a mobile phone when driving his tanker truck down the road. Perhaps they'd be safer at home.
