Tube strikes

In the papers over the weekend, yet another young Londoner stabbed to death – what is happening to our great city?

Caught the circle line, but learned with dismay that as of this evening there would be strikes. Yet again hard working Londoners held to ransom by the underground workers – Livingstone has said they will keep their jobs, he has said their pensions are safe, I have no doubt he will tell us it is nothing to do with him – don’t forget this is all our money that was poured into this Metronet partnership in the beginning, and now – guess what it is Londoners who are going to pay to put it right – no change there then.

London is the powerhouse of the British economy, the Mayor should be out there selling London and its advantages for business, not selling us down the river to the unions – just like the bad old days of the GLC
