We're basically rerunning what happened in November 2011 when he said on The One Show in a discussion about Strike action:
"Frankly, I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. I mean, how dare they go on strike when they have these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living?"
In which he also retracted very quickly.
