Strike this out!

This is for the attention of our totally inept Minister for Transport – it is quite obvious that either your concerns lie with our already overpaid, underworked, totally spoiled, so-called ‘bus drivers’ or you are scared of the unions.

Although they are a very small group they have been allowed to hold the country and city to ransom whenever they need a break.

The far greater mass of hardworking commuters are of no concern to you.

May I suggest that when this current ‘holiday’ is over you immediately put in place an arrangement whereby private bus owners are allowed to operate on all bus routes the same day as these idiots go on strike. No more strikes!
