Do you support the RMT?

PCS union now coming out as well over the Christmas period, 86% in favour. I expect this will be the last straw now for the cartel in charge at Westminster, there’ll be bills coming in to reform industrial action, let them try .
Boiled ribs and cabbage for tea then it is.
The cartel now have some serious sh*t on the door step of number 10. They honestly really do need to wake up as the workers are finally speaking out loud.

That's our lot. People think civil servants do eff all, but they forget how many on the front line keep this country ticking over.

When many of the cartel can’t fly out to Antigua for the Christmas recess the penny might drop as to what you and many others do in a role undervalued and taken for granted by thousands , it takes this action unfortunately for the masses to sit up and notice what individually we all do to provide a service for one another, stick together . Enough is enough.

The only common denominator in all this shitstorm is the Tories - eventually everybody gets fed up and thinks enough is enough. Everyone striking or considering striking has my 100% support. They literally have no choice - they have been treated appallingly by this bunch of privileged entitled fuckwits.

It’s looking increasingly like this is going to be a long and bitter dispute. I have no inside knowledge of anything that’s going on here but the only possible explanation I can think of is that the government are actively encouraging this dispute to drag on and on, as they’ve decided they can’t be seen to have “lost” this one in a precedent to other current and potential future disputes.

Foreign rail travellers are so lucky we subsidise them

Not forgetting the massive public subsidies.
Bigger than when it was publicly owned.
Taking tax-payers money and giving it to foreign companies, and buddies.
Aren’t we doing this with water as well.
Oh…and electricity.
I‘m beginning to see a pattern here.
Is it something to do with taking back control or sovereignty or something?

I wouldnt trust train times around the strike dates, loads are being cancelled at short notice on the non-strike days.
I support the strike but fcuk me, its causing me major problems personally.

Every day that passes where the government come out with more bullshit and threats serves as a timely reminder that there are still more upset that their travel plans might be disrupted for a few days as opposed to everyday people being held to ransom by a bunch of fucking crooks.

I have had no trust in them for at least 5 years - shitty service run by shysters who get max profit out of employee's fare payers and the tax payer and who have little real interest in providing what anoyone in Europe would recognise as a service

And the rail companies are just as bad :)

So I can't get on a train or get an ambulance. The teachers may take another inset/strike day. It's probably not wise to put the deep fat fryer on either and my GP is hid under his bed.

Thank god I'm going abroad for Xmas.....

Oh shit.
