Before the rant, let me make one or two things clear. Firstly, I happen to think the London Underground is actually really rather good - far better than a lot, if not most, of the public transport systems I have used around the world, and infinitely better than cities that have sorry excuses for, or don't even have, a light railway system. Secondly, I am far from anti-union. I happen to think Unions are a force for good and most of the Unions in the country are run by responsible, realistic people and much the same can be said about their members. BUT:
Bob Crow can go to hell and the RMT are a bunch of sorry excuses for human beings and deserve little more than to be kicked in the balls by a man wearing steel toe caps on a daily basis. What a scumbag Crow is. Whereas most Unions consider the threat of a strike an action necassary if and only when negotiations completely fail, this tit uses it as his primary, hell his only negotiating tool for getting yet more and more pay rises.
So much for Boris' no strike agreement. God knows who fell for that one.
So, two days of commuting misery because the RMT have the negotiating skills and intelligence of left testicle and the only word they know is strike. At the very best they are absolute numbskulls, however I think they are far closer to bullying, lowlife wankers.
Bob Crow, you are without a doubt the biggest tosser in Great Britain.
(Apologies for the language in this post... and this old favourite youtube clip).

Boris was saying on Channel 4 news earlier that he's ready to sit down with Bob Crow to discuss a no strike agreement, but it must be with no preconditions or threats... Apparently the RMT has been threatening to strike every day since Boris was elected. Sounds like a weak excuse to me...
