    It was obvious that the government were involved in some way, they are only here to enrich themselves with selected positions of power, screw the people, is what they are doing. We the people should be selecting who leads the government.

    ALL PART OF THE PLAN
    The Government causes the chaos so they can take on more CONTROL.
    In fact they DO NOT want you travelling. Local jobs using local public transport because you will not have a CAR !

    The government are trying to crush the unions behind the scenes. It has been made clear every time they strike they pay the operator’s around 30 million to cover it. They could put pressure on the operator’s to come to a settlement instead by withdrawing this money.

    The RMT members are discusting. They were furloughed in the pandemic from my taxes. I wasn't furloughed, I went to work. Hang their greedy heads in shame. Disgusted with them. Sack them, no benefits, employ others and move on and as for the self righteous NHS members, you greedy ungrateful gits.

    It's not fascinating it's simple, cut Government size we have too many useless takers. Cut taxes as there is no point increases taxes and making things unaffordable, as that is not good business sense. Get rid if the fiat debt based currency system and peg the pound to Gold.

    no.
    Its just the growing belief that you are "owed" something, irrespective of conditions or the situation. Generations got ahead by working hard, not by feeling wage rises are round the corner every year the factory stays open.
    Who would open a new business today, when every time you make any profit you are the LAST person who should benefit from it, even though YOU took all the risks and perhaps put your house up as security for a loan to start that business.

    Rmt workers must be well paid to afford to be off striking. The public don’t support these communists in these actions especially when we are at war with Russia.

    Sack all RMt members ..I'll do a train job on existing salary….they've had £16 billion furlough support money…… disgrace

    So, the RMT members get a massive pay rise, this leads to massive fare rises, this leads to poor people unable to afford to use the railways, this leads to a drop in passenger numbers, which leads to the railways being run down and redundancies………..

    It's not surprising people are on strike when you see the mess the alleged government have made of this country

    If we can house illegal immigrants in hotels then we can pay a decent wage.

    The Government want the disruption.
    They want us fearful and depressed.
