A public sector strike involving immigration and passport workers that was to be held on the eve of the games, has thankfully been called off.
Union leader Mark Serwotka said that real progress had been made with the Home Office, and as a result hundreds of new jobs will be created.
But as the strike was planned for tomorrow is this announcement as Mr Serwotka put it real progress, or just false promises from the Home Office desperate not to be embarrassed and face chaos at our airports the day before the world tunes in to see what we’ve done with the place.
Whether the Home Office has put out a pan fire for now knowing full well they’ll be dealing with a towering inferno later remains to be seen, but for now the strike is off and the games can go ahead without a major disruption which can only be a good thing.
