Default London Uderground Song

You have most probably heard the song doing its rounds on the net but for
those who haven't here it is:

Very, very rude. Don't show it or play it in front of the children, but very
funny :-)

previously aware of.

It has been discussed on this thread ad infinitum. If you're
interested have a search on the usenet archives on google groups.
There were some very strong and conflicting views on it!

Sounds like you're not aware off any usage of the word. The song is
amusing and
right on the money.

It was as funny as blaming doctors and nurse for the state of the NHS or
shop assistants for the state of the retailer they happen to work for or any
other frontline employee for the state of the company or organisation they
are employed by.

Yes it really isn't fault of the staff when they are on strike is it?

Having viewed the item previously, I do not recall it making direct
attacks against front-line staff at all. Interpret as you will.

I suggest you listen to it again. Then re-evaluate your interpretation.

And only one to stop.

The only group of staff the song explicitly has a go at are the
drivers. It's the drivers who go on strike. It's the drivers who
cause many many hours of delays to people on strike days. etc.

So the drivers have directly caused the problem.

Doctors, nurses, etc. don't directly cause problems with the NHS

therefo Invalid comparison
