Fact: It's not difficult to recruit Firemen. If they were given a big pay rise then that would be a cue for everybody else too. Taxes would rise dramatically and the economy would melt down. We would all be worse off.

I have two suggestions:

1. Train the armed forces to use up to date fire-fighting equipment and make it illegal for anybody to prevent the use of such equipment.

2. As Firemen have nothing to do except play darts for half their time, why not give them some more work. They could be the town watchers, pouring over cctv monitors to watch for traffic jams, fires and rowdy elements of society, and simply reporting events to the Police as necessary. That could be worth 5% on their pay. Of course they might have to be banned from doing second jobs during the day if they have to stay awake all night watching monitors.

These are exceptionally good and logical ideas. Maybe I should be a Governement adviser.

I think we should do that thingy, you know, with the stuff.

What was the question? Firefighters? Oh I see!

I think they should get a payrise because the governmeny gave themselves a 41% pay rise to eat more caviar and buy more jaguars and BMW's, and the firemen only want 14% so give them it u selfish W. anchor Tony Blair.

This logic has no retort. End of discussion I guess.

'Many people in many walks of life face danger. e.g. van drivers'

In 30 minutes, I hope to walk to Sunbury Fire Station and ONE MORE TIME stick my finger up at the striking fire fighters!

Don't ask why, just my opinion. Greedy. That's all they are.

Because I find the topic rather interesting to be honest, and it's is also one that, for the most part, has some reasoned and remotely intelligent opinions in it. My only criticism is that there is no need to make outlandish statements in order to provoke this.

As much as i would like to differ with our Mr Blair, i think his comment "no gov could offer the 40% increase" is bang on right. If the Firecrews had 40% more, then other services should expect a similar upgrade. I think its ironic that some 1 in the armed forces gets much less pay than the firebrigade right now. Anyway with a 40% upgrade, every 1 else would try and get it. Big increases like that for lots of people would push prices right up. Those who are less fortunate and got less pay would struggle to buy the goods in the shops, let alone cars, and a house.

And what about all those false calls - way above normal. There's more to this than meets the eye! Question is, who has motive to do this...
