But, one hopes you would agree that there is a difference between
constructive criticism, and dancing on someone's grave.


Crow like a lot of the left wasn't too put off about dancing on Thatchers grave
so if someone wants to dance on his - and that halfwit romanticising socialist
toff Tony Benn's - then I'd wish them good luck.

Moreover, the problem on London's rail transit system was not Bob
Crow; it was the people who voted him into office.


Its not voting him into office thats the problem - its supporting almost
every idiotic strike he came up with that ****es me off about LU drivers.
These muppets earn 54K for a job thats to all intents and purposes
is just pushing a lever backwards and forwards. And on the automatic lines
pretty much all they have to do to earn that money is stay awake between
stations. Bus drivers do a much more stressful job and get half the pay.

Fortunately for the rest of us, the driverless tube train is on the
horizon.


Much as I'd like to see the drivers collecting their P45s en-masse, I still
want to see staff on board a tube in case of emergencies and the best place
for them is up the front on deep level lines where's theres no way to walk
alongside the train. So I'm not sure Boris's idea of driverless trains is
really going to work.
