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

  2.  @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.

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

  5.  @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.

  6.  @smogmonster1876 TBH you’d expect a place like Teeside to vote that way which is weird because those areas received the biggest subsidies from the EU just like Stoke on Trent that got 178 million from the EU which was reduced to 11 million from the Tories. The only levelling up the Tories know are when they are doing a line of Charlie😂

  7. If anyone tells you they voted for Brexit to stop immigration then it’s time they see the doctor. Providing they could get an appointment….

  8.  @6079_SMITH_W  They go up because the government ( unlike in Europe) don't pay into the system enough. Fares will rise in line with inflation, so why shouldn't a railworkers salary?

  9. They've been running on the Underground for years. Another bozo who hasn't a scooby. Change the record.

  10.  @johnmoore9862  It was on Facebook. Mick lynch also gets 35 weeks leave every year. He drives a Ferrari and lives in a 6.5 million pound west London home with a 4 acre garden. Dennis also forgot to mention that if Mick lynch hits 10 strikes in a year then his bonus is paid out for another 2.6 million.

  11. What’s funny is you telling people to vote Reform ( who want total private healthcare ) and have a Union Jack flag in your comment. You do realise that essentially they are the Brexit party in another form and who want to break the union up?? That flag will be meaningless.

  12.  @OsellaSquadraCorse  Obviously the applications are relevant especially seeing how everyone’s going on about people applying for asylum. Unfortunately thanks to the silly people voting to make the UK a third country none of those crossings are illegal as the UK is now obligated to process each and everyone hence a 6 month backlog and a further burden to the taxpayer. Those people can cross as many safe countries they like providing they don’t have any other family members already registered in another country as the original rules no longer apply. Essentially voting for Brexit has made it worse, but the wealthy don’t care as they’ve made a fortune for their off shore investments. 👏🏻

  13.  @Stevo73660  That won’t happen. Wasted vote.

  14.  @Algolxxxxxx ot forgetting the new super sovereign dark blue passport with less benefits made in Polski. Gives you a 2 hour wait at the airport to relax into your holiday..

  15. Another Brexit bonus

  16. No, well done Brexiteers. After all they were the ones that voted to make the UK have third country status!
    2
  17. We aren’t in the EU anymore cleverclogs so they can pass thru as many safe countries and apply for asylum wherever they want. Try to keep up with being in a land with third country status.

  18. And the quickest way to privatise the NHS

  19. Not allowed now as the UK has third country status thanks to areas like Lincolnshire.

  20.  @lat1419  I think what was meant was who owns the property in Mayfair to which aclark is correct. 52% of London is now Qatari owned with most of the big hotels, one Hyde parks building, chelsea barracks & even 20% of Heathrow airport.

  24.  @tigading2177  The tories only have a huge majority because most of the country and our pensioners thought by getting the white unicorn that is Brexit done it would make Britain Great again and all the foreigners to get out. As we now know it was always a trick to get disaster capitalists to bet on the pound crashing and them making a fortune at the expense of the working class plebs. Fools Brittania.

  25. If the Tories or Reform get in then it's a given.

  27.  @django3422  Looks like Nigel is unhappy that he could never qualify as a motorman so blames the ones that can for standing up for themselves. Maybe he's self employed and only cares for himself. Fk the workers.

  28. There will be no Doctors left then.

  29. Yes, you will still get the Mail readers blaiming train drivers for the rise when it's really all because of the incompetence of the voters.

  30.  @mrharry448  Just use the 350m a week that was promised after leaving the EU. Simples.

  31. At least we are now getting 40 new hospitals and 50,000 new nhs nurses paid for by the extra 350m a week now we've left the EU and our borders are finally protected and we've got back all our sovereignty. Everyone will all be able to get to work on the brand new Automatic & Driverless trains. Keep believing 🖖

  32.  @mrharry448  Yes, they have always been eurosceptics. I'd wager that Mr Lynch and Dempsey are quick enough to pull out their paddy passports when they go abroad though. I had this conversation with a union rep who did the very same thing by voting leave then went out and got one, even though he'd never stepped foot on the Emerald Isle. I'd disagree with the blame laying on Labour though as it's the Tories that have been in power for over a decade and their manifesto promises to a load of pensioners who've had their benefits of the UK being a member all those years and now feel the country isn't the same as it was in the 60s and 70s when you could eat fish n chips from a newspaper and leave your front door unlocked ( because you had fk all to nick ) If you are to believe the current figures nearly 2 million of those pensioners are in the ground now. The rest are complaining why they can't seem at the Dr's ( as they were sent back home )

  34. Miners were sold down the river by Thatcher deciding to buy the black stuff from abroad. Get rid of all the train drivers and you won't have anyone to drive the trains sausage.

  35. That's because the oldest metro system in the world receives the lowest subsidies in Europe. One reason a labour mayor has to keep going cap in hand to a tory government.

  36.  @Talus-hallux1  You mentioned the London region so I assumed you were talking about Central London. The south east is the richest part of the country, fares are expensive because of that. That's down to the operating companies as they have their shareholders to pay out - look at the boss of Network Rail 600k plus bonuses. One day the general public may wake up but until then the UK has got what it voted for - a capitalist government that has sold everything off to foreigners.

  37. Drivers in Europe get more money . Eurostar drivers earn 10k more basic.

  38. Haven't you yet sussed that rail staff don't have a say in any pay increases? Or did it say that in The Sun?
    1
  39.  @anthonymckenzie579  No. We live in a democracy Anthony and at the moment in time still have the right to withdraw one's labour. If the fares have risen by 6% how is it the rail companies have only offered 4% with strings attatched? Fares normally rise every January by RPI. That's nothing at all to do with any workers and remember that some haven't had any pay increases in 3 years.
    1
  40.  @anthonymckenzie579  So have you never had a payrise then Anthony? Do you get weekends and bank holidays off? Paternity pay? Legislation against harassment? Lunch break? How do you think those came about then? If trains don't have any drivers as they've had enough ( just like paramedics and Nursing staff who've done what you recommended leaving huge holes in the service) How do they run those train services? Invisible train drivers perhaps..

  41.  @HeyHeyForMe  Like everything else the UK has sold everything off to foreigners hence why Brexit was never going to be a good idea. All of our trains are built up of parts that mainly come from abroad. When the contracts are tendered the government always go overseas. No loyalty to our workforce whatsover.

  42. Not sure what world you live in but in the UK the Tories have been in charge here for the last 12 years. Nothing to do with Labour, Corbyn, BLM, EU, Putin or Covid.

  46. The self employed get away with murder. Especially on the N.I. contributions.

  47. They want a pay increase ' above ' inflation as has been agreed for years, because inflation is so high due to an incompetent government they simply don't want to pay out. Anything less than inflation is a pay CUT.

  48.  @meanlean3095  A silly comment from someone who's obviously never done the job. You've been gaslit.

  49.  @GARDENER42  In what way is Blair a war criminal?
    1
  50.  @staycalm88  Simple answer is to just pay everyone a fiver an hour then it stops your lot moaning. Will take longer to save up for the Stone Island jumpers but there's always pay in 3 available.
