  1. Totally agree. Anyone who joins the military should be on 30k starting and a guaranteed home after a certain period of time imo.

  2.  @callum2877  Automatic trains run on the tube and have done so for years. When they go wrong guess who they need to move them? A D R I V E R.......

  3. Why not cancel your mandate then? Fancy moaning about someones pay all the while paying into it.

  6.  @lal2300  No, just a pay rise in line with inflation otherwise it's a pay cut.

  7.  @fredmercury1314 Check the report in the Irish Times - a 1,200% increase in applications from Britons. Wonder why?

  9.  @fredmercury1314 That depends. Take all the so called Brexit voters that once they realised what they had lost all of a sudden pretended to be Irish or a descendant of to get that paddy passport that still allows the precious FoM. A certain Tommy 5 names being one of those hypocrites…

  10. What’s the colour of his skin got to do with anything? The only problem would be if you are a bigot/racist. If you are you need to speak with your parents to see why they didn’t bring you up properly.

  11.  @pauldavies7251 Have you not realised that the main money comes from central government? Your situation got a lot worse when the deluded in Wales voted for Brexit taking companies and work out of Wales and back to the nasty EU.

  13. It’s a plc not a nationalist party. You can pay your membership and join but have no say in who is in charge and the deputy is a Pakistani which won’t go down well with the bigots.

  16. ⁠ @pauliewalnuts5803 I’d disagree. People are more upset that it’s a black man rather than the fact he’s got Welsh blood and lived there since he was 2. Amazing how these people are colour obsessed - it’s got to the point of being boring.

  17.  @pauliewalnuts5803 You’ve completely missed the point, but then I’m not surprised with looking at your name. 🍩

  18. Funny to see all the Welsh patriots kicking off about a mixed race bloke who has lived in Wales since he was 2 years of age saying he’s not Welsh then get a Semi every time Tauluape Faletau picks the ball off the ground and steams through people. If Gething doesn’t qualify being Welsh does that mean George North should be playing for England? 😂

  19. Funny how the Welsh don’t complain when one of their black rugby players put the jersey on isn’t it? Make it up as you go along….

  22.  @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.

  25. 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.

  28.  @Novacaine_m  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.

  29.  @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..

  30.  @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.

  31. 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?

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

  33.  @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.

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  37.  @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 )

  42.  @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.

  43.  @angelaharris6577  How can you bring everything back into the UK when it's been sold off? If you add extra carriages onto trains how do you fit them in the platform? Laughing stock - yes, caused by the muppets that put the tories into power with an 80 seat majority in the hope that the country would be all " white " again. The tories have been the main problem since Thatcher starting selling off all our manufacturers to companies abroad. All the tories think about is their shareholders and posh friends. The only people moaning are the people who think train workers, nurses, paramedics etc are over paid. Strikers are happily getting on with it. Abuse an all.

  44.  @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.

  45. 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.

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

  47. 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 🖖

  48. 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.

  49. What has train tickets got to do with NHS workers pay?
