Default LUL Job Cuts

Reported on BBC News.

I foresee a summer of discontent on the tube, with the strikes no
doubt carefully timed to coincide with England's matches in the World
Cup

"If these cuts to jobs are bulldozed through by Transport for London
it will turn London's tube stations into a muggers' paradise."

I didn't realise that Mr. Crow was in the labour advice market, and
although one of his members was famously shown to behave reprehensibly
to a passenger last year, recommending his members to start robbing
passengers is a bit much.

Assuming that's the Holborn incident you are referring to I think you
will find that it turned out the gentleman in question was not a union
member, let alone an RMT member.

Strange choice of wording. Exactly what aspect of this man's behaviour made
him a "gentleman". I can think of a choice words to describe the LUL
employee and gentleman isn't one of them.

Why? I treat everybody equally. I don't know (neither do you) all the
details in this case so I give him the benefit of any doubt.

I've also snipped the excess crap that you left in your reply; you might
also consider fixing your sig. sep. and dumping Outlook Express for a
proper news reader.
