Transport for London

It was the England-Andorra game on Wednesday just gone, and the first home game since England has said that it wanted to host the 2018 World Cup, so a good way to show off our new national stadium etc etc.
What do the mugs that work on the tube decide to do? They go on a 48 hour strike. Again. This time they are striking over poor pay and potential job cuts. Join the club! The country is in the middle of the biggest post-war recession and there are job losses/redundancies/cut backs happening everywhere, but these simpletons seem to think that the way to counter act this is to ask for more money.... Again!
Every 6 months or so these idiots will launch several 2 day strikes on the tube, which subsequently causes the capital city to grind to a halt, and after they've done this for an amount of time they will be given more money.
It's not like this job is particularly difficult from what I can see. I mean im no train driver, but all it seems to be is pushing a lever forward to make the thing move, and then pulling it back when you need to slow down/stop. 'Proper' train drivers aren't always asking for more money to do their job, and I really don't know why tube drivers keep getting all this special dispensation for higher salaries. Maybe they've had to have special mole eyes surgically sewn on to their heads so they can see in the dark better? That cant come cheap. Or maybe the household budget on carrots has soared for the same reason.

It really fucks me off that they are essentially holding a city to ransom, because they're aware of the importance of 'keeping London moving'.

They've held these latest strikes without the backing of ASLEF, their union, and the mug in charge has come out in the media saying he was really pleased because they've managed to wreak havoc in the city for 2 days. He really did sound pleased with himself too.

These pricks need to learn from the past. When there were all the miners strikes in the 70s/80s, what eventually happened to the mines? They shut the fuckers down and we imported coal. The decision to do this left us having to import coal as you cant return to a pit once its been shut down. Any one working on the tube who is moaning should be booted out and replaced with some Pole or other person who will gladly step in and do the job for half what they earn now.

Given the option I would gladly sack everyone of them who moaned, and get people that were grateful to have a job, and then spend the money that keeps going on over inflated salaries on improving the infrastructure of the tube.

Or just shut the whole thing down, send all the tramps to live down there (possibly creating a subterranean race of mutated super-tramps) and get another couple of buses with the cash that city would undoubtedly save.

On a side note from that TfL released a statement saying that there would be no extra car parking available at Wembley, no additional public transport laid on, but they would do everything possible to help people get to the stadium. How are they? Not only are they not putting extra transport on, they've 'advised' varying overland services not to stop at Wembley stadium due to the hazard of overcrowding.... What kind of fucking pillock is running this show?!? Also, The FA has spent £500 million on building a stadium that doesn't have adequate car parking 'built in'??? What the hell is wrong with some people!
