Just so you know tory boy people have been continually voting for the same party since 1880 in Horsham. Obviously it wasn't the Labour party because it didn't exist then. Is that how the sheep vote started or is it ok to vote for the same party for generations as long as it is the tories you vote for? |
Clearly you have made an incorrect assumption having been born in Swansea I have certainly not just voted for a single party since I was 18. |  |

An NHS boss says next weeks rail strikes will kill people because doctors and nurses won't get to work and patients who have waited months for urgent appointments won't be able to get to them.
No doubt the union bosses will say sorry for any inconvenience caused. Perhaps the NHS should put any striking railway bosses at the end of their waiting lists.
Yet labour still fail to condom the strikes. |
I can't imagine there are many Doctors who haven't got a car, or who couldn't afford a taxi to work. |  |

I am sure a lot of doctors smd nurses in places like London use trains to get to their work. Why should they have to pay extra to use their cars , including London congestion charge just to get to work. A lot of patients also have to use trains to get to the specialist medical centres in large cities.
After £16 billion of taxpayers subsidies to keep railway employees in work during the pandemic as well as paying furlough you think the railway staff might be grateful. | |

Clearly you cant read. You say Welsh people are sheep because they vote for the same party yet I have told you that English people in some areas are doing the same and for longer but you are not calling them sheep you hypocrite. Congratulations for voting for different parties though. Thankfully, people can choose who they want to vote for. If they vote for the same party that is their choice. Whether it is the right choice is so subjective as it was in the Brexit vote. Are the Welsh people sheep when they voted for Brexit? |  |

Personally I think anybody who always votes the same way regardless of events is a sheep... It doesn't matter what party that is, we should all evaluate our choice and go for what we think is the best at the time.
I have voted for Labour mostly, I have voted tory twice and my second biggest choice has been independents, at the last GE I went for the independent candidate which was after suggesting on here I might vote for Bojo because even he was better than Corbyn.
Likewise I think people who say they would never vote for a certain party are wrong. Again, I said I could never vote for Corbyn or for the LibDems because of their attitude to certain things but as people and policies change so my possible choices change. | | | |

Car owning in inner London has its issues.
If you are living in a rural backwater then it is a different gravy. You need a car in Builth Wells ;you do not in London as it's a pain. ergo the Tube is best. | |

I've driven in London a few times and it is indeed a major pain in the arris. The roads are clogged in normal circumstances and with the trains not running the roads will be unbearable. Think I'd rather buy a motorbike than a car, or even cycle. | | | |

You’ve mentioned £47k twice now as being the average wage for rail workers. Is that for all rail workers or just the RMT bargaining sector of the rail industry?
For example, the people working nights cleaning the trains of the treasures that get left behind and are represented by the RMT (who have voted to take action) get paid less than drivers who are represented by ASLEF (who haven’t voted) or management staff who are represented by TSSA (who haven’t voted either).
I suspect that there’s either been some lazy or propaganda inspired journalist has combined all sectors to come up with a misleading figure |
The £47k figure was produced by the DFT and also includes train drivers who are in a different union and who by enlarge are not striking. The figure is very misleading, if train cleaners are included the median salary is around £33k.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/61840077
In all honesty, I don’t blame the RMT workers trying to get themselves a decent pay rise. The cost of living is spiralling ever upwards, interest rates are going up which means people are paying more on their mortgages, a lot of people are getting hammered and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. | | | |

I work for a rail company and I'm a member of the RMT and I will be striking this week and we are very very strong dont worry about that,we were told weeks & weeks ago to bang in the O/T which there is loads of to cover our strike days the amount of BS the media comes out with is shocking. My parent company Firstgroup made £226 million this year and last year made £220 million (during covid) while our government kept tipping money into thier accounts to help them??
Google it people its all there to see but the BBC & Daily Mail people of the world don't want you to see that.
My earliest start sign on shifts in work is 05:30 I get up 04:15 and my latest finish is 23:00 I go to bed out about 1am. I get abuse on a daily basis from chavs to businessmen, I have to deal with disruption,delayed and cancelled trains and I worked all through covid while our managers were in their gardens sun bathing and all we get every now and then is a thank you email. For 21K I work loads of O/T just to get a decent wage.
Our company wasted something like £60 million a couple of years ago on trying to do up old trains and were told time and time again it wouldn't work basically trying to turn a clapped out cortina into a new BMW and it didn't work it got brushed under the carpet and now all got sold for scrap and blamed it on their god sent covid [Post edited 20 Jun 2022 17:17]

This is what I love to read, someone who can actually explain the real situation of RMT workers.
It's pathetic listening to all those Government types and commentators rattling on about how much the train drivers get when they are not even on strike. They are members of ASLEF. | | | |
