Jesus wept, if anybody can find a worse news reporter than Kay Burley, then well done. Absolutely owned by Mick Lynch and embarrassing for Sky News.

he comes across as an arrogant man. his interviews were great today, just refused to tolerate their bullshit. Burley was trying insinuate that the picket line he stood in front of would turn to violence and he called her out on her pathetic line of questioning.......

Thats not true train driving has always been relatively well paid, the difference was before privatisation it was low basic and lots of overtime, on privatisation they upped the basic and tried to make efficiencies (less spare drivers, no enhanced rates for weekends etc) that almost always failed so they just kept paying more, the favourite trick of drivers is the sick roster, go sick, your mate gets called in on his rest day and gets double bubble or time and a half repeat and share around. From this: www.traindriver.org/what-the-job-involves.html#"The low rates of pay in the past meant that most drivers worked all the Sundays (and often Rest Days) they could in order to earn a living wage, with the result that the Sunday service was reliably covered. The fact that train driving is very much better paid today means that many drivers (or their partners!) have made the lifestyle choice to forgo the extra money and have every Sunday off. This has meant that at some depots the management are having a real struggle to cover the Sunday service and are sometimes cancelling trains because no staff are available." Not really sure the point of your highlighting or how you think this contradicts anything I said, my comments come from 10 to 15 years working for a rail freight company, like I said once they ended enhanced rates for weekends they had trouble but rest day working was always "popular".

What's hypocritical sorry you've lost me? That a man fighting for the working man is pocketing 600k a year. Haven’t you always fought strongly about people on obscene wages.

Mick lynch was arguing with a BBC/Sky supporter on Monday saying he wasn't on £124 K a year , he has to pay tax , national insurance and pensions so he only earns about £80K a year .
Based on that i'd say he's a grade 1 idiot.

So not £600k, thanks for clarifying.......

Predictably the focus is on wages when about 2,500 maintenance jobs are set to be cut, leading to 670,000 fewer hours of maintenance work each year.
All those who are disgusted by strikes, what would they do if their livelihood was under threat?

What is it Martin Luther King said, the people most damaging to the cause were always the ones that always shouted "now is not the right time" and "that is not the right way to go about it".

All those who are disgusted by strikes, what would they do if their livelihood was under threat? So those 2500 people average 268 hours maintenance each per year or 8 weeks work a year ?

On the subject of thick as pigshit MPs... I think its Paul who is thick as shit here, you'd think by now people would now MP's expenses include staff wages and office expenses, notmally its racists tweeting this sort of shit at the likes of Lammy or Zahawi....... 80k + for a part time job should be enough for them to keep their heads down, especially when so many are doing it so badly.

If you want to make that point fine but then expenses claimed is completely irrelevant to this argument isn't it.

We are not miles apart on this,but you said that train drivers were always relatively well paid. My highlighting is to show that in the past drivers had to work rest days to boost earnings. Since privatisation driver pay has increased so that they no longer need to.

If you want to make that point fine but then expenses claimed is completely irrelevant to this argument isn't it. I think I’d want a full break down of it. I don’t like MPs claiming expenses for lunch or food so would want that ruling out before saying it’s completely irrelevant.
