  1.  @dennis8196  Get a job on the railway. You don't have time to sit down.

  2. 4% per year = pay cut when inflation is at 10.1%

  3. Not sure if you realise but the Milk snatchers been long gone for years.

  4. You can get £13 an hour working in Aldis. Change your job and stop comparing yourself to someone who drives a 250 tonne train.

  5. You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. The elite first started the divide and conquer years back when Thatcher got as many people to buy their council houses then ramp up the interest rates a few years later. Fast forward to recent times and they spent a decade winding up everyone over foreigners taking jobs and homes to push Brexit ( a rich man's fantasy ) thru in order to top up their hedge funds in the Cayman Islands. The working class are the most gullible people in the UK. 🐑

  6.  @dangerousfables  What's next ? Let's make mainline trains that travel at 120mph driverless and automatic. I volunteer you for the first run . Sit you in the driving cab.

  7. Ain't going to happen. Have you not worked out why the trains in Europe are cheaper? Driverless trains are a fantasy. Normally spouted by people that have no clue how the railways operate.

  8. OR we could forget the pay rise and allow rail workers to claim for travel, food, housing ( in London ) council tax, motor vehicles, and clothing. Just like an MP. Sorted.

  12. Imagine getting nearly 90grand a year plus expenses for everything, a 4 day week that you don’t have to turn up to and nearly 20 weeks off on holidays plus weekends. No wonder they Rishi & his mates never goes sick. Still have the exceptions of MPs showing private parts online or watching tractor videos then putting it all down to the stress of the job though…. Easy life for being a professional grifter.

  13. You should be commended in helping to protect our borders. Well done Brexit Kegworth.

  14. Why don’t you People read the rules properly?

  15. And still people are talking about returning them to the first safe country. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  16.  @BosskV2.0  Not forgetting they can apply to any country they choose to. Safe country first,second or tenth. These plonkers still won’t accept that they don’t have any ideas of what the actual rules are.

  18. They ain’t. They are passing thru to come here.

  19. I think these hard core brexit areas should all do their bit to help protect our sovereign borders by chipping in and taking these people. Well done.

  20. You’ve more chance of bojo speaking the truth than that happening.

  21. Time to leave then.

  22. Only jealous people are lacking in empathy Carla.

  23.  @boredphysicist  That's France fella. Auto running has been on a few underground lines for years. You still need a driver for operational problems and defect handling. Driverless trains are probably about 30 years away.
    2
  24.  @boredphysicist  Strange comment considering a train won't run without a driver. Do you live on Mars?
    2
  25.  @antonmsk3401  Well, when I drove a train I was only responsible for the running of that one train. If a signal failure occurred that wasn't my fault but equipment failure. Same went for someone jumping in front of me. I expect you're the type of person that sees a uniform and blames them for everything. Must be amazing being so perfect.

  26.  @martingibbons7070  You need to take your wages up with your union rep. Unfortunately when the bus companies got split years back you were always going to get screwed. What you can't do is compare a bus driver to a train driver which is much more involved.

  27.  @wildfloweratheart1111  He's obviously a Mail reader. The only people that receive bonuses are management. No drivers get anything as such

  28. You are a very kind of special Terry.

  29.  @ctb1977  I agree industry standards dictate what rail staff are paid. They are entitled like everyone else to a pay rise however. Not anyone can jump on the front and drive a train hence why the money is reasonable. The rail companies cannot say they can't afford it when they are paying the CEO 600k a year and are making huge profits on the backs of the rail workers that are currently striking. Most people complain about drivers salaries because they are jealous , one of them having strong unions and two because they have been brainwashed by the RW media for over a decade. And I'm in full agreement that people like nurses and teachers ( i have both in my family ) should be paid more but that lays with a tory government and not the fault of rail workers. That is a broken record.

  30.  @thomasc5443  I drove a train for 33 years. Never earnt 66k ever.

  31.  @boredphysicist  Double pay on Sundays stopped 20 years ago. Do you pluck things out of fresh air?

  32.  @lol-pz1ni  Slight contradiction in your post lol as you've said you aren't against people striking but think that rail staff are holding the country to ransom! You need to make your mind up. How do you think workers today gained protection against discrimination, paid holidays, pensions, contractual hours, etc It was because of unions like RMT and ASLEF sticking up for their workers. A lot of comments regarding train drivers as unskilled when they couldn't be more further from the truth, one reason it takes so long to fully qualify, hence the reason why they are paid a decent wage.
    2
  33.  @lol-pz1ni  The reason that people are on minimum wage is because they work zero hour contracts and jobs where wages have been kept historically low by the tories. I wouldn't expect someone with the responsibility of a train driver to be on minimum wage. Shall we have a race to the bottom to suit you? Do you work? If so do you get weekends off? Annual leave? Anti discrimination laws? Etc etc. Where do you think those benefits came from?

  34.  @lol-pz1ni  Yes, we should keep doffing our caps and all work for £5an hour to keep you happy. Maybe start sending our kids up the chimneys too because come October you will be burning your wardrobe, best keep the chimney clean.

  35.  @vhawk1951kl  Not self employed by any chance?

  36. Won't happen. The infrastructure and money isn't there.
    2
  37. Of course. It's all train drivers fault that NHS staff get peanuts. Why not blame the RMT for the war in Ukraine as well?
    2
  38. Most of the tube has been auto running for years. Still need a driver.
    2
  39. Thanks for the hard work you do Carl but guess which section of society has consistently voted in Parliament against giving you people a decent pay rise? Train drivers earn 60k plus not 50 as you mention. If you want train drivers money the simple answer is to apply, pass the interviews/ tests/ route knowledge/ and stock training and become a train driver. Otherwise you need to stop comparing and join a union.

  40. Because I’m really posh and can earn lots more money talking nonsense in front of a load of fat, cigar smoking bankers.

  41. ​ @olivere5497 4 people have gone to Rwanda and they went voluntarily and has so far cost the tax payer £700 million. But keep blaiming Labour. Its all their fault.

  42.  @johnross2924  Perfect age to start John. At least you'd be sensible unlike the yuuts with exhausts so big you could hide a small family in there driving around. Another reason to move to France, as they are so bad at driving you'd fit in well. Old land rover - knock the dents out with a mallet.

  43. More gaslighting from the RW media. Wake up.

  44.  @scottbarclay6  Stop drinking before making a comment Scott. It stops you chatting complete bollox.

  45.  @henrydemonfreid1985  Agreed.

  46.  @Lemingtona-x5g  Yes, of course he was. And the 350m on the side of the bus was true too.

  47.  @leonarddavies288  The poster is correct Leonard. Doesn’t matter what you think of it. Of course before you put your X in the wrong box we were within our rights to send anyone back to the first safe country. Now we don’t thanks to the brexit supporters getting it completely wrong as usual.

  49. You could vote for Britain first. Apparently they have a candidate with an Italian surname. You couldn’t make this stuff up😂

  50.  @smogmonster1876 Agreed. Even Tice went on record and said it’s one for one. I just don’t get why these people are so easily gaslit.
