How anybody can support this strike is beyond me! It's disgusting and completely unjustified when you compare it to what people in the NHS/ Armed Forces / Emergency Services have to put up with, and what they get in return.

They should have joined a union.

What a load of complete crap!

Why?

Or they should leave their jobs and apply to be a tube driver, if it's so ing brilliant.

Because they've chosen to do something worthwhile in their lives by choosing to help provide a vital service to the people within their country. By doing so they have clearly wavered their right to a union, I get that, but what they don't want to see is overpaid & underworked prats (who basically push a lever back and forth all day) deciding that their fat wedge salary isn't enough, so they're going to make other peoples lives a misery in the process. It's pathetic. And the attitude from people like you i.e. "should have joined a union" (which is thankfully a minority!) is infuriating to those that sacrifice a great deal more than what they are actually paid to do.

The problem with applying to be a tube driver is that the unions have held tfl to ransom so much that tfl aren't allowed to advertise externally for tube drivers unless they prove that they can't find a suitable candidate internally. Basically the union have them by the short and curlys!

Well said that man.

You're either a wind up merchant or a f8cking idiot.
push a lever backand forth. tell that to the poor c*nt who was blown up in the 7/7 attacks and the drivers who risk terrorist attacks every day in London. Or the poor sods who have to deal with people regularly throwing themselves in front of the trains.
47,000 in London wont get you a mortgage on a shed.
You should educate yourself and not believe everything in the media. Striking is people's right to protect themselves from exploitation. If my colleagues inthe NHs did it more we might save what's left of the NHS. Then everyone would stop moaning about how sh#t it is and maybe notice most of the problems are down to privatisation.
Hope they strike on the 29th and then you can walk and then maybe you'll appreciate them. I 'll be in London for the final and will supprt them whatever they decide.
Go educate yourself you oaf.

Another half wit.......do you believe everything in the Daily Mail. Go educate yourself rather than be spoon fed information. I know it takes effort and requires some intellect but it can be rewarding. Then you can contribute to discussions and form your own opinions.
Try it its invigorating.
Start with some Owen Jones literature then work your way towards Noam Chomsky. There....you can lead a horse to water if they drink it or pi#s in it its up to them.

Looks like the strike might be off, London Transport have postponed the night shift start.

I was going to reply to the working class who have been brain washed by the sun and daily mail but Burtons forearm has summed it up perfectly.

To say they risk terrorist attacks everyday is just stupid they are at risk as much as anyone else in London sounds like you want us to go back to the 70s were strikes solved nothing in the end I was in a union for 10 years and when it came for them actually having to do something they were useless never again would I waste my time with these crooks I also remember my dad who was a docker coming out for a month in support of the miners and the only person who came out of that well was scargill with his nice new house
