@johnmorrissey7873 He pays a days money into the strike fund for members that need it every time the RMT are on strike.

@steffanjennyburrup5801 If after the last 13 years you are still in support of the current government you are either very wealthy or a bit special.

@BlackpoolRockTV No it hasn’t. Do you think you would get £ 30 an hour picking fruit n veg at 4am ? If you did 3 guesses who would be paying for it. That old chestnut is and always was a load of old bollox.

@steffanjennyburrup5801 The unions no longer have any say in how labour are run. RMT are no longer affiliated to Labour. That’s old news. Whilst I appreciate we only have 2 choices there’s no way I would ever vote for the Tories. At least with Labour there’s a better chance of holding onto the NHS. The tories and Brexit have well and truly ruined the UK. NHS will be next stop for the tories or Reform if they ever got in.

Did you doff your cap when you got your 3%?

No it’s not, all true.

@cupguin Yes, I always hated The milk snatcher yet have always firmly believed we were better off in than out. Even the man with no bank account has admitted it’s been a failure.

@BlackpoolRockTV Don’t be silly. The NHS has relied upon immigrants for decades, that’s why 22% of NHS staff are from abroad. Of course after your fantastic Brexit you helped send back 48,000 to the EU and that’s the REAL reason why you can’t get a GP or dentist appointment nowadays but you would probably prefer to believe that it’s all the boat people blocking up the system because that’s what Gbeebies news tells you. I went to my usual trip to the lakes in the summer the first August after lockdown and all the pubs and restaurants in the Langdales were closing at 8pm because of no staff. So if after sending all the furingers back where were the local English? Nowhere to be seen that’s where and with regards to the building sector all my mates have never had it so good earning mega bucks and that’s still with the poles working as well so your theory is as I said before complete bollox. The hospitality industry might have been affected in places like Blackpool but that’s because it’s a shithole. Who in their right mind would holiday there??

@stevendavis7079 Try telling any of the 260 staff that lost their jobs at the oldest passport printing works in the UK to a French/Dutch company who then sub contracted the work to Poland that Brexit was a good idea. The same going for any company ( Jacob Rees moggs being a great example ) that moved to Ireland or anywhere else in the EU as it was easier to trade. Pound shorting several times making bojo and farages mates millions overnight whilst everyone who was normal pay up to 60% more for their daily goods another success? What about leaving Europe would stop immigration? Or the UK not having to pay tax on gas? Give your head a wobble fella…

@julesw4037 We are no longer in the EU so now the cheap labour comes from India and Asia. Look what happened on P&O. Everyone hoping for a £25 minimum wage is living in Unicorn land and as I mentioned earlier to Mr Rock you won't get any Inglish getting out of bed to serve coffee or pick vegetables hence the UK having to send 4 empty planes to Romania after the transition period because fruit and veg lay rotting in fields. Brexit was all about making the rich richer nothing else. Divide and conquer worked because a great deal of the working classes are xenophobic so it was easy to split everyone apart mainly by the RW press owned by 4 or 5 billionares who live in tax havens. Next stop is the NHS and you've still got mortgage free pensioners that will only vote tory because they think brown people will take jobs and housing...

@timwoodger7896 We never lost any sovereignty and when we were in the EU we had 5 opt outs for EU legislation. Not accepting the Euro being proof of that. We were in a far stronger position when we were members than now. Having to accept more asylum seekers and not being in a position to return them to the first safe country they arrived from being proof of that too. Essentially Brexiteers have helped ruin the UK so despite them thinking they were being patriotic they did the complete opposite. 👏🏻

Do you also complain that drivers get 60k? If so how do you think the grade got to that amount over the years?

So you would close the railways for over a year whilst new members of staff were fully trained, assessed and qualified on the premise that other countries rail systems work better than the UKs? Luckily you aren’t in charge of anything.

@waltersobchak1719 No disrespect but your dad being a bank manager wouldn't have been qualified to move any trains. He probably would have been quite annoyed at having to work 39 weekends a year as well.

You forgot to mention the 300 days annual leave and free first class air travel anywhere in the world Bob. Not bad for just pressing a button and pulling a lever.
