Strikes

[Treble]

Makes me laugh reading Donga's comment actually, so because the Tories are corrupt, it gives the Unions the right to screw the poor over during Christmas, it's just the irony of it. We've got more money than you and you are below us, so fook you. Tory to Union....Union to poor families but it makes it ok because of the barons or something.

Poor families?

I do have a tweet to respond to that, but I'd better not risk that even though it explains this more thoroughly - the network closes down anyway early evening Christmas Eve, and doesn't open back up till mid-morning on 27th Dec. The network is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day every year (except in Scotland). despite the Daily Mail hysteria being fermented, the poor will not be affected by the scheduled engineering works not occurring on those days, but the private engineering, outsourced companies involved will probably still get paid for it (especially if they donate to the Tory Party as most of the TOC's do).

You keep on about the Daily Mail....I don't read it, what is it with you, can you not accept that someone has a genuine anti union opinion. Do you constantly have to look for disinformation, tweets, and use the mail as an excuse to fight your corner.

In other words can't you just take me on with facts, rather than bolloxs, I hate you fookers, I'd say stronger that, but I will not stoop that low, but in short I'd chuck the lot of you on a bonfire.

You seem a bit confused mate. Let me make it simple for you. The poor families you have suddenly discovered you care about, are mostly working families impoverished by over a decade of Tory government. Unless you are rich, the Tories are the enemy, but they stay in power because mugs keep voting for them.

That's more like it @brb Talking about the strikes without once mentioning Labour

That's fine mate, I'm happy to accept all that with no argument. Now I just need you and Donga to accept the train drivers are trying it on and hiding behind the skirts of the nurses.

Didn't even give them a thought tbh...I forgot

Working families. Still waiting for this 'leveling up' we were promised.

I'd tag Munse in on this but can't remember his changed username.

He had to come South for a flight, because they ain't levelled up in Newcastle.

Guy rang up the supine, Tory-arsed Jeremy Vine a few weeks back.

"I want more pay, but I can't go on strike as I'm not in a union"

"Yes, it seems very unfair" says the fart-in-a-bottle, streak-of-piss presenter.

Another bloke get's put through as he's still on air and asks the first caller:

"Why can't you go on strike?".

"As I said, I'm not in a union".

"Why don't you join one?".

"We don't have a union"

"Why don't you form one?"

"They won't let us".

"They can't stop you unless you're in the armed forces or GCHQ"

"I wouldn't want to be in a union - we already have good terms and conditions".

"Oh, that's er, not what you said a few minutes ago"

Jeremy intervenes as his caller is floundering...

Joking aside my dad has all that and like you has earned it so I don't begrudge it to anyone. Imo it's not about a race to the bottom.

Fair play mate.

It was Archers that gave me the idea, I'd never thought about it before, he said he had free travel in London, so I thought oh what can I get.

I said to my kid when he came round a few weeks ago, I can't be arsed with the car anymore, he looked at me as though his dad had gone crazy - so I'm like right, let's start looking this public transport stuff up. Although can never see me going on a bus, don't know any services near me for starters, but at least I know how to get to a railway station.
