Where's the no-strike deal that you promised us, Boris?

Your own campaign leaflets said "Boris Johnson has a plan to deal once and for all with endless tube strikes. He will be proactive and negotiate a no-strike deal with the unions"

Well then, where's this deal? Where's this plan? You've had almost two years.

@HeadlightMorningGlow Why can’t the Strikers make signs and stand outside the ASLEF and RMT head offices and keep the Public off their bargaining table. I pay over £150 a month for an Oyster travelcard, and don’t get reimbursed when they go on strike. Strike days are stressful and a major headache. Where I work if you come into work late even on a strike day it is noted.

@HeadlightMorningGlow I put the Tube and Rail strikers in the same category as the greedy Bankers, just looking out for themselves and fu*k everyone else. I hope the government makes new laws regarding striking, like 50%+ workers balloting.

@RememberToday4ever So patroitic yourself you use American spellings. To describe a strike on the Royal's wedding as "unpatriotic" is laughable; if not celebrating an unelected privileged elite using our money to wed is unpatriotic then fuck it, I'm not. Oh and it's exactly your anti-union rhetoric that let in Thatcher's individualist fuck-the-rest bankers gain ascendency.

ASLEF and RMT unions are a bunch of unpatriotic Nazis always going on strike and using the hard working public as a bargaining chip. I so hate that asshole Bob Crow and his bogus Union. I put the Rail and Tube workers in the same category as the Bankers - just out for themselves and fuck everyone else.

tthey just want the day off

Boris the tube workers will not be going on strike that day. There has been no serious proposal to strike on the wedding day. You are not a serious politician, you should be a full time comic and have your own tv show. My Gran thinks you're very funny.

I hope the police go on strike that day, that'll make him pull his frankly ridiculous hair out ;)
