National Rail Strikes June- I Am Furious
90 Answers
I am furious there are 2 proposed national rail strikes in june one of them over the time I am due to go down to my nephews confirmation. I have booked and paid for hotels and theatre tickets now I will have to go by coach overnight or I will lose quite a bit of money. How dare unions hold this country to ransom and disrupt plans bring back Margaret Thatcher she would never have allowed this God I hated that witch but she knew how to sort out the unions. Strikes should be illegal. Staff are bloody lucky they have jobs millions not so lucky. No sympathy for their cause whatsoever nothing but contempt for the plans they have ruined. Is there nothing David Cameron can do I know hes as weak as dishwater at the best of times but Maggie wouldnt have put up with this.

Can't say that I blame them with that sort of pay rise offer.

enjoy your nephew's confirmation - what about air or driving it as there are some pretty good rental deals out there - perhaps an overnight near the Lakes and meet an ABer - I met boaty that way..... a suggestion would be the Barbon Inn near Kirkby Lonsdale for example....lovely inn by the way and the countryside over to Dent and Sebergh is magnificent. http://
Not that it actually matters TTT but I actually don't support strikes as a rule. I think they're particularly inappropriate now, when it ought to be clear even to Union leaders that the public is largely not on their side, that strikes aren't going to achieve anything. That it inconveniences me directly this time is by the by -- I would have thought it a stupid strike anyway.
The terms the RMT have been offered aren't particularly brilliant but are about what can be expected at the moment, so they should really just accept them and lump it. Other people are getting far worse.
So how about you take that pathetic crap about "spoon-fed socialist" and start paying attention to what people actually say, rather than what you want to hear from them so you can justify your incoherent rant.

I never posted about what government I wanted. This was because I didn't actually know what I wanted. Still don't. I voted Labour but that was entirely motivated by tactical consideration, trying to keep the SNP out (which did happen in my seat, the only remaining Labour one in Scotland...)
The only thing I was hoping for was a result that might push political reform back onto the agenda. In as much as there's been loads more talk about it I've got that, but it's not yet coming from anywhere that matters, still. Cameron is burbling on about how good a system FPTP is, unsurprisingly as it's catapulted him to a majority. Beyond that, I didn't express any preference for a particular government.
