Oh, don't you worry, Stanron. We hate her for a lot more reasons than that. She legitimised government by spiv in the late 80s which Blair and his cronies cheerfully perpetuated. Look where it got us. As for recent industrial action on the railways, there is nothing "political" going on. That is just the lame kneejerk of you Tories. It's about rank bad management, lousy industrial relations and cost-cutting putting passenger safety at risk The working people of this country have been lied to about unemployment by this government and millions are enduring under-employment, seasonal work, pay that doesn't cover their uncontrolled rents, companies who won't recognise trade unions for reasons we don't even need to think about, temporary contracts, zero-hours contracts, bogus apprenticeships, bogus "self-employment" to relieve firms of paying your stamp and no job security. And if you get made redundant don't expect your "redundancy pay" to keep you going while you search for another job. The working people of this country need a strong opposition voice and strong unions more than ever. And do try to get your information from somewhere other than the Daily Mail.
