Gordo is about to be tested.

There is no way he will give in on his first big confrontation and the TUC wish to be seen as a power in the realm.

Who will suffer?

That would be us then.  point:

Snap election anyone? I think not.

Well the miners have already been laid waste so look on the bright side, no power cuts.

Bright side? See what I did there?   ;)
