Friday Caption Contest – Trades Union Special

Tom Winnifrith
Friday 14 September 2012

In a week when TUC leaders seemed to think that celebrating the death of Lady Thatcher was funny (before the sad day has even happened) it is perhaps right that we honour those hard working men and women who lead Britain’s unions, toiling away day and night for little reward, battling away on behalf of their hard pressed members as they fight off the wicked Tory cuts.

On a salary of a mere £254,978 a year Bob Crowe stands out as a man of the people. After all he lives in state subsidised housing, does he not? Clearly I am delighted that my taxes go to subsidise such an impoverished fellow. But it is good that he occasionally gets to go out and relax in a style that his members could relate to. This picture half inched from Order-Order.com was taken at Scott’s of Mayfair.

My entry is Crowe: “ Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your trains – another bottle anyone, it’s on expenses.”

Feel free to post your entries in the comments section below.

In last week’s contest, sponsored by healthy living campaigners Mars Inc, we asked
you to suggest captions for this picture

Our impartial judge says that the winning entry was: “Mars honours the winners of its Scottish healthy eating completion with an open air awards ceremony”

And so the prize of one of our new soon to be launched T-shirts goes to , er….Tom Winnifrth. This week I am sure that you can beat me. The prize will be one of the soon to be launched T-shirts.
