Complete lies in the press and TV about the FBU dispute

After what I read and saw in the media over here (NI) last night and today, I had to get that confirmed: has the strike been called off? What about those silly 2 days strike in mid January? Was the FBU membership informed?
I had to call Jim Quinn, the NI FBU Chair. And it is what I suspected: it's all balls. It couldn't happened anyway without a membership vote and this didn't happened.
The fire fighters are still going ahead and it is NOW that they need all of our support.
For the people who can make it and live in Belfast, the ASF Radio Show ("Agitate!" on Northern Visions 100.6 FM) will bring live on air the march from 2 of our reporters from the Shankill and the Falls.

The Media are all lies, the politicians are all liars. Support the fire fighters for better wages for all!
