Apparently, the rail strikes are Labour's fault and Brexit is the Remainer's fault.
Welcome to Boris in Wonderland.
The rail strikes and the unions do provide a useful villain for Boris and the right wing media, so the rail strikes will likely not damage BJ at all.
There's far left, left and normal.

Well, there is that.

To be fair I'd probably take issue with it as well, but I've always admired the Beatles rather than liked them. Whereas I've always felt more fondly towards The Beach Boys.
To be honest I came quite late to the Beach Boys as a musical force - just thought of them as a Surf band when I was in my teens.
Since then though... amazing work.
The Bea tles. The Bea ch Boys.
Both had tremendous creative periods.
California Girls and Back in the USSR. Yes I love them both.
I'm very much enjoying the pundits and hosts on right wing news channels raging against how well paid rail workers are. These are the exact same metropiltan elite pundits and hosts that get paid stupid amounts of money for spouting opinions that aren't grounded in anything approaching knowledge of the subject.

A rare moment of wisdom from you that I agree with Chappers!

And despite being corrected countless times, they persist in using figures that include train drivers - members of ASLEF who aren't going on strike - to make the average wage seem higher. Dishonesty is in their DNA.
On a separate note - Mick Lynch of the RMT is proving to be an absolute star!
