Upon the miasma of midnight, a darkling spirit identified as Recliner
gently breathed:

Somehow, I can't see Brother Crow agreeing to pendulum arbitration, and
it's hard to see the current government agreeing to anything that could
hurt their union paymasters.

True.

But the current government is about to get spectacularly booted out by
the Conservatives, who might be more minded (especially if they thought
they had the support of ordinary Londoners, some of whom might think
that strike-caused disruption was putting their own jobs at risk) to
smash RMT's ability to cause utter chaos in the capital once and for
all.

It's beginning to feel like 1979 all over again, with a chaotic and
shambling Labour administration, beset by problems internal and
external, soon to be swept into history by resurgent Tories. Lets just
hope this time it doesn't lead to a re-run of the Major period ten years
later.
