I disagree with him on this point though it’s not about picking sides it’s about seeing both sides of the argument and coming to an agreement when both sides don’t get everything they want but it’s resolved respectfully and we move on.

Hope they all get sacked, the railways where I live are an absolute joke and won't be missed anyway. If you don't like your job/standard of life then move on and do something that floats your boat. People don't like working in this country. That's the simple truth. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choices choices choices 👍 You showed initiative, work for yourself and did the best thing for you as an individual. In most countries, people admire folk who strike out on own. In Scotland, somehow that makes you a Tory! It will certainly annoy a fair few on here who prefer to live off others hard work and effort.

ri Alban Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It amazes me, that folk who think they are better than folk, forget, if people didn't protest or strike or fight against working conditions. They'd be ****ed. Selfish ***** with no clue. Educated on the tax payers money, public services on tax payers money, emergency services on taxpayers money, infrastructure on taxpayers money. Yet they believe these folk should work for them for a pittance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
