Perhaps you'd like to re-introduce slavery while you're about it? Maybe the Cabin Crew could be transfered to the ownership of some random Investment "Banker" to be traded for a few Chinese? While we're about it, maybe an occasional public flogging, with the offender stretched across the nose of a 747? I really fear for all UK workers if UNITE gets totally blown away - some checks and balances are essential in a civilised society.
