    I go to work on Southern and am therefore ****ed.

    The unions are ****, the company is **** and the government is ****.

    Guess what the service's like?

    Some strikes I support, some not, depends on the issues. Can't support any that mess with the rest of the public (eg airlines at holiday time, Xmas). People who work hard for their holiday, excited kids, to have it spoilt by the strikers. Boils my p*ss when the union man says ''blame the company, they have given us no choice'' Of course there's a choice - do it at a different time

    I don't eat cereals and no-one will suffer if they're not available so they can do as they wish. Bring the company down and lose their own jobs.

    The Unions taking on the greed that appears to follow everyone connected to our present government maybe..

    Cameron earning a mint doing his after dinner speaking and it ain't a after eight, seems failure pays with these people..

    Think some people have just had enough but it all appears to be connected to London in a way which is basically what this government represents..<ok>

    I cant stand Weetabix, they can go on strike forever as far as I'm concerned, as for the others they are just causing Joe public grief and I can't see the sense in that.

    Workers at Windsor Safari park have gone on a Wildcat strike.

    They feel they've been cheetahed out of a pay rise.
