And they’ve invited him to fly with the team to a European game and a complimentary season ticket next season so definitely fair play to them

The owner’s on one side of the plane and everyone else is on the other.

Not at all, just questioning the reasons listed for the funding . It’s already covered.
Had it said we want the money to send on a holiday to recuperate I’d go along with it no problem.

Personally, I made a donation as I'm a retired railwayman and wanted to appreciate an ex industry colleague who did a fantastic job faced with adversity.

My union (RMT) started a campaign to highlight defunding of the BTP last July.

The incident on Saturday has thrust the campaign into the limelight.

We're looking at a national day of action. Including demos and pressuring the government to act. As well as seeking guarantees off GBR with regards to safety of passengers and staff.

This will advertised accordingly. As and when it's i'll post it on here.

A national meeting of reps is being held in 2 weeks time to coordinate it.

But they don’t have a massive bill for an NHS, social care so their taxes are spent elsewhere, imagine what we could do with an extra £3-400 billion.

Ok course they do - they spend about the same share of their GDP as we do and have publicly funded health systems just as we do. They just have higher rates of taxation, better public health initiatives and properly fund social care. They also didn't spend years stripping investment away from their health systems leaving them creaking.

They also have medical insurance it’s not fully funded unlike ours
