It is against C.O's orders to make any comment / response to the media etc. Otherwise, I would have written to the editor / opinion page in regard to this matter.
I believe the MFS Union did go ape scheiße, and some one from the MFS actually wrote to the editor, and it was in the paper a day later... Funnily enough, they didnt publish the letter E.Ferguson(spelling) sent to them, informing them that the times were in-correct.. etc.
Typical Media!
