Stewart's no wimp


Poor old Wimpey. The company has bent over backwards to prevent major problems with protestors on its M77 site near Glasgow. Contingency plans include addressing the protestor's worries and trying to solve their problems as well as practical measures such as issuing instructions to all staff and subcontractors on how to behave when facing demonstrations. It was all working quite well - until Scottish Minister Allan Stewart stepped in and grabbed a pickaxe in a confrontation near the site. Wimpey's strategy for peace on the M77 omitted to include the actions of Tory ministers. Still, if the going gets tough, perhaps Stewart would like to take on the security subcontract.
