@RNLI
please confirm whether this statement is correct? If you did pick up people from a French warship, they were in no danger, so you weren't engaged in a rescue, therefore you shouldn't have been involved. Your reply will be of great interest to many supporters.

@pcowles

It's been confirmed that the RNLI were spotted visually & by Channel radar in the early evening of 16th June going over into French Channel waters to collect some 40 migrants on a French warship. It appears the migrants were rescued earlier but the French wouldn't take them back

@Femi_Sorry

Never forget that the people being sent to Rwanda for coming to the UK in boats across the channel, have done more and risked more to be here than you ever have.
All you did was tumble out of someone who happened to be on UK soil.

Ah, yes, they have more right to be in the country than the rest of us. The bloke needs to be certified.

So, turns out that Network Rail has offered 2% pay rise perhaps going up to 3% with compulsory redundancies not ruled out.

The Train Operating Companies haven’t even made an opening offer yet.

The government, even though it /we as taxpayers essentially pay for the railways through subsidies, refuses to get actively involved to protect ‘ordinary people’ from the disruption they face from strikes, but is pretty obviously setting the boundaries for what the employers can and cannot do. Shapps can also change the regulations to allow agency workers to replace strikers, which would seem to be interfering with the negotiations from some perspectives…..

****ing unions.

Did the government not put a billion pounds into the railways during the pandemic to keep them afloat?
Wish I could have demanded pay rises over the last few years.

****ing Tories! :emoticon-0105-wink:

Yes it did. £16bn actually. Which is why it should take an active role in sorting this mess out. This is essentially a nationalised industry which pays private shareholders dividends.

So they put in billions of pounds, but the strike is still all their fault?

Mick Lynch....what a hero.
 
Extreme right wing politician, Marine Le Pen, equivalent of Farage on steroids, sees the number of seats her party has in the French parliament go up from 7 to over 80.

Mon Dieu... <yikes>

He's Transport Secretary, he's responsible for dealing with the situation. He's done nothing because the government actually relishes the prospect of being able to set workers against workers.

Not just workers against workers, workers against workers rights. Just add them to a ever increasing list, in good company, protesters, the RLNI, teachers, bbc, the NHS, gps, the national trust, the England football team… amongst others.

Yes all of these have received strong condemnation from certain areas of the media and the public in recent times
