Transport strikes. Timing is everything.Firstly, this is not a political blog. It merely serves to highlight where I believe PR is an issue. Two pieces of protest/industrial action in 2 days. Both with legitimate concerns and with a right to do what they are doing. However, already this morning on the radio I have heard …
