Quite. I'm damn sure the RMT will do their best to stuff the Olympics
a short time before its open with strike threats based on completely
unreasonable demands. Though being optimistic perhaps Bob Crowe will
have buggered off by then to count his money and a moderate will have
taken charge - but I won't hold my breath.
