Default Shock news regarding Tube Safety



Let me speak for every single traveller on London Underground, if I may -
**** YOU.


Thanks for that. In fact i dont think you can speak for every traveller on
London Underground but i doubt that will stop you.


YOU chose to work on the underground - we don't choose to travel on it.
For most (if not all), it's the only way we can get around London. If you
don't like having to actually work for your money, go find another job
where you can eat biscuits, drink tea, and moan about the public. You are
supposed to be providing a PUBLIC service. You can't just turn around and
go "oh - don't worry lovely public - we're just using you as a pawn in our
sick, selfish game. We want more money to do less, and we'll claim it's
down to safety, but really we just want a day off"


I dont chose to work on the underground, i dont work on the underground.

I to use the underground to get to work but that dosent stop me from
supporting those that take industrial action in a worthwhile cause.

I dont understand your last sentence. How does striking over safety result
in more money? As a regular passenger on the underground i would have
thought you would have an interest in being safe whilst travelling. If its
all about money why lose a days pay on a strike that dosent result in any
more money? Then you say its because the strikers want a day off. Why
wouldnt they just go sick for a day on full pay if they are that desperate
for a day off and money is so important?

It dosent add up.
