I know a few of these "lefty" cunts .. they are either cunts with a good and secure income or high-flyers who have had a crash landing. Common to all of them is a terror of a centenrist conservative or labour government getting into power. Their main fear at the moment is not the conservatives winning another term but rather that a starmer led labour government would see the real state of the economy and realise that what they can do is very limited regardless and perhaps also see that many the current problems were caused by the fake lefties before they fell flat on their faces. As to Lynch, I can remember when railway workers were really poorly paid .. if those rates of pay still applied most of the striking railway staff would be on half of what they earn now. Many of those railway workers can now afford to do what you do and they have gone on to half time working. In recent years we have had some railway line re-instatements, most have done far better than expected but that all stands to be fucked up by the likes of Lynch and his ilk.

If I was a train driver there is no way I'm going on strike. They are on fucking good money with plenty of overtime if they want it.

It's the principle not the money. Have you ever been part of something bigger than yourself?

The train drivers union boss is actually Mick Whelan who is or was a member of the Workers Socialist Party anther man with an agenda not related to the day to day interests of his members the union is A.S.L.E.F Like Lynch he deposed  moderate leader of his union. Prior to joining the railway he was a bank clerk. Cambs has raised some valid points. These days many railway workers especially in traincrew grades are paid fairly well for jobs that do not require high educational  achievements, you simply require reasonable good health and your wits about you.

The standard arrangement for drivers and conductors is a five day week working up to 50 hours with time above 35hours  "banked" and extra rests days every 5th week for the full time employees. For those who choose not to volunteer for rest day working it is almost like having an extra 10 weeks holiday a year. True that the weeks you work those long hours (but you usually only work 5 days of 7 during those anyway and thus have two days off each week) can be tedious but those regular whole weeks off if you chose not to volunteer to work rest days more than make up for it.

I think you are trying to stitch together a case for your own views. When it comes down to business a union leader is measured by their competence at protecting the members and they are there and stay in post only for that reason. I really think the TALKTV twats have messed with your brain. Anyway, whatever conspiracy theory is floating around one thing is for sure:

Dan Wootton is a dirty two faced toad of a cunt who deserves his imminent come uppance.

Fucking hell. You really know how to raise the bar when it comes to boring fucking drivel. 
Is that a ‘dead man’s handle’ down your trousers?

Sorry Pen, but I've just come back from the local hostelry after slurping 5 pints of ale and all what you've typed ain't getting through. I'll take a look tomorrow.

I'm stone cold sober and can confirm that you're not missing much. Pen's incoherent ramblings are akin to the indecipherable booping and beeping of R2D2, but with the grating cadence of Janet Street Porter.

Unless you've mastered binary code and/or communication via ouija board, my advice would be to not attempt any further communication with the dead, robotic cunt. Not unless you want it's gigantic Mandingo to "exsperminate" all over your boat race.

I've just insulted our resident Red Sea pedestrian so fuck knows how that's gonna pan out
