Many of you will have read the story in the papers this morning about the Dover Harbour Boards plan to recruit Gurkhas should there be a strike declared tomorrow friday, when the aggrieved workers meet.
The idea was to get the gurkhas to do the work of the striking workers.. to use them as, and I suppose the term is, 'blacklegs'.
Hence this statement above from our MP Gwyn Prosser. Many of you will also remember the picture on our frontpage last week which showed Gwyn and the Sandwich MP Dr Stephen Ladyman with the protesters outside the DHB offices prior to a meeting with DHB management which went nowhere.
A strike is looking more and more likely.
