I guess it was to be expected. Doesn't really take a genius to figure out that the best way to make an impact is to hit when it would hurt the most, so news that the UK's biggest union, Unite, was considering strike action during the Olympics as an act of civil disobedience was not all that surprising. The Capital will be under enormous strain at the time of the Olympics even if everything went to plan. Local people are expecting their lives to be disrupted by the event but are mostly looking forward to having a good time as well. This is a good way to showcase London and, by and large, things have been going fairly smoothly. The prospect of more chaos because of strike action would not be welcome, irrespective of the validity or otherwise of the strike. Well, I guess we'll have to wait to find out whether this will come to pass.
