Let's bring this issue back on track. OK so there is misinformation out there
that needs to be knocked on the head and a solution found.

Can't find the solution straight away so a strike is called; fine but why on
31st December? Could you not wait until 1st January or a few days later?

Now, who is being bloodly minded?

Which obviously fails to address exactly why Bob Crow and his puppets
chose to strike on the one day that is guaranteed to alienate the
general public against them. The inescapable conclusion is that Bob &
Co. genuinely believed that LUL would cave in in the face of such a
threat; in other words, they have cynically used the enjoyment of
ordinary Londoners to try to force through something so unreasonable
that they know that a threat to strike on any other day of the year
would not work.

It is notable, of course, that while the RMT claims 4,000 members
amongst LU station staff, only 39% of them participated in the strike
ballot, with 1,327 - i.e. 33% of the total number of members - voting
in favour of it.

Of course, we are given to ask exactly who "zoneonelondon.co.uk" are.
Despite first-glance appearances, this is not a general newsite, and
seems to exist only to regurgitate RMT press releases and other union
activist platitudes. It's no surprise that "external links" are
restricted to the RMT, teh Socialist Workers Party, and - presumably
as a half-hearted attempt to appear balance - the Mayor's Office.

The domain is registered to one "David Knight," who has - perhaps
understandably - chosen not to make any other details publicly
available. He's had the domain since 27/01/02, and yet what is
currently there is all he seems to have done with it in almost three
years.

steve ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

"Dave Knight, tube worker"


"Dave Knight, the Chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament"


(Elsewhere)
he identifies himself as an "RMT Health and Rep (stations) on the tube"



He's also "Global Network UN representative" (Whatever the hell that may
mean)

http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/art...rticle_id=7434

Makes you wonder where he finds the time from to work on the tube, doesn't
it?

Presumably the same person.

Can probably give that one the benefit of the doubt. The Google
search I did only up a Dave Knight involved with UNISON, as well.
