the apocryphal ‘let them eat cake’ remark by some 18th century Gallic monarch.

Tsk.
I'm pretty sure that was Paul Hollywood, the preening b@st@rd.

Of course hours worked doesn't include lunch breaks, why would it?

You could say " I work a seven day week" if you included weekends.

When I first left school, I worked a 40 hour week.
Monday - Friday
08.30 -12.30....13.30 - 17.30 (with 2 x 10 minute breaks)

That lasted almost 2 years, I've worked much longer hours than that ever since.

You should've joined a union Bud.

First job was well within rules.

After that, oh aye, some arsehole shop steward was really going to help.

My mate was one of the lucky applicants who got one of the ScotRail drivers jobs advertised a few years back. He chucked it. The conditions drivers work under are horrendous. Apparently no matter how old they are, they can tell you in the exact number of days when they’re due to retire.

Mason always knows a victim.

Aye, Trade Unions are cu nts, fighting for pay and conditions and workers' rights.
Absolute w@nkers.

They are when they hold the rest of the country to ransom.

In the south of England thousands of people travel by train to work. Maybe they should all strike about a lunch hour and their want for a a pay raise.

Mick Lynch taking heads across every tv channel yesterday was amazing to watch. Having someone on who knows his subject, cares about it & doesn’t give a single f*ck about being invited on again (he won’t) was a breath of fresh air.


Wonder how they’ll smear him?

Russian money in his and the rail unions’ accounts.

Photoshopped images of him felching disabled orphans dressed as Jimmy Saville.

His secret list of Knightsbridge pieds-à-terre and condominiums published.

A report of his offsprings’ good reputation in playing the Eton Wall game in the Telegraph sports pages.

“I witnessed Lynch getting a backie on Corbyn’s bike, in clear breach of the Highway Code” report in the Daily Star.

“Lynch flushed train toilet in city station” headline in The National.

Irrefutable links to North Korean communist dictator discovered by Talksport.

Just the usual.

Heard it.

Bring it on.

Yes. More effective picketing such as this is the way forward:

Having pals is a weird concept to every far right yahoo

Divide and rule, it's the Capitalist way.

A tried and tested successful way.


Although my heart is with the proletariat, my experience tells me that they're only in it for number one and would grab at the first opportunity to enrich themselves and lord it over their ( for now) equals.

Maggie didn't just beat the unions, she crushed them.
She also managed to expose the people for the want to be capitalists they all are.

Anyone who bought their council house should hang their head in shame.

It’s not exclusive to capitalists, unfortunately, when individuals are apt to adopt the tactic when looking for an argument, or trying to curry favour.

Jutes, Tims and Huns are all ****s though, and deserve ‘othering’ solely because of what they are.
