    It's Corbyn's financial backers attempts to overthrow the elected Government.  The general public are their preferred choice of ammunition.

    And not a peep out of Corbyn against it.          >:( >:(

All the best to those workers struggling against dictatorial, incompetent and greedy management (and government) in the UK.

    All these Trade Unions have suddenly, and independently of each other, decided that they are hard done by.!!  Yeah, right.

    These union leaders should have the balls to form their own political party and stand on a platform of left wing extremism if

    they think their views are so popular, and not infiltrate the Labour Party to carry out their aims. Their salaries belie "the struggle".

Union Leader and Corbyn friend  on T.V. This weekend admitting they are trying to overthrow the Government, by having Strikes, later on another Union Offical tried to gloss over this statment.
We are not lucky enough to have trains in our area, but I hear the train strike is over who closes the train doors.

   That really is a struggle Badger, how on earth do they manage.?? :o      How many " supporters " will forgo Xmas dinner to

   join the picket line.??   Will any Forum members be brandishing placards in support of the poor rail workers.??

   I spent many years as a Labour Party member and activist. The current bunch in charge have nothing to do with that

   Labour Party and it's values. They, and their Momentum movement have their own agenda.

Ironic isn't it, that the organisation that wants to bring the country to a standstill is called Momentum.

I guess that would be our EU dictators you are talking about? Or are they a more acceptable dictatorship to you?

Irrelevant and obsessive.

Good luck to the workers: Illegitimi non carborundum

As I say we have no trains local to us our nearest station is 25 miles away.  However, the company running Scotrail, in Scotland is Dutch and is in real trouble for mismanagement.

"Labour stands shoulder to shoulder with the RMT" - Andy MacDonald (Corbyn's Transport Chappie).

Isn't this rail strike all about one man operated trains?

There's no end to this nonsense - blackmail by the Union(s) at the "Season of Goodwill".

Same ol', same ol'. 

Maybe they want us to return to the pre- industrial age, thus creating more jobs.

They're taking us back to the '70s. so far -  a long way to go before the Luddites hit the streets.

Maggie did for the Union blackmailers 30 plus years ago - perhaps Theresa May can conjure up something now.
