Hypocrisy strikes

London commuters have become accustomed these days to Underground Tube drivers all too easily dancing to the rhetoric of their resident communist class warrior and £100k + salaried thug union leader Bob Crow. Strike action swiftly follows invariably on the spurious grounds that the safety of passengers and underground staff is being put at risk by some or other wicked dastardly deed perpetrated by the evil management  cutting this and cutting that.

The latest two week strike (yes two weeks !) on the London Underground has been called this week because the RMT is upset about two drivers who have been sacked. Allegedly, one of them for foul and abusive behaviour towards another employee (that's bullying and intimidation to normal people) and the other for completely overriding his trains safety systems as he hurtled through the tunnels (that's gross negligence to most of us particularly those who happened to be in that dickheads train).

Quite a few potential breaches of safety regulations during that drivers shift I would suggest and ample grounds for dismissing someone from their £45K plus perks job. However comrades, that is not the kind of safety issue that troubles the snarling Bob Crowe and his luddite mob who are only interested in safety issues when it gets them a few days off. The RMT insist both drivers were sacked simply because they were both union activists.

Said it before . . . . that's the left for you
