Anyone else that find it ironic that Bob Crow died of a tube stoppage?

Oh tulip say tube drivers
Oh tulip, say tube drivers
LONDON tube drivers have admitted that the game may be up.
As the only union leader most people under 40 have ever heard of died, tube drivers said Bob Crow was the one person standing between them and trains driven by robot slaves.
Martin Bishop, a driver from Peckham, said: “I would very much like the RMT to advertise – immediately – for a New Person to Scare the tulip Out of Capitalists.
“However, I suspect it may now be time for me to drive a taxi.”
Meanwhile, across Britain opinion was divided between those who thought Bob Crow was really good at his job and those who thought he was really good at his job.
Crow’s supporters said he defended workers’ rights, while his opponents said he brought London to a standstill, leading experts to point out that both of those things are ‘comparatively rare’.
Julian Cook, professor of arguments at Roehampton University, said: “Most modern trade union leaders are actually just a made-up name and some spokesmen working in shifts.
“Also, do you have any idea how difficult it is to make Londoners talk about someone other than themselves?”
Wayne Hayes, an investment banker, said: “He brought the world’s most capitalist city to its knees on several occasions. I couldn’t do that and I genuinely believe I’m worth two million quid a year.”
Nathan Muir, a geography teacher, added: “If David Cameron and the Daily Mail think you’re not even remotely dangerous then you might want to ask yourself what the **** you’re doing.”
London mayor Boris Johnson said he was sad to hear of Bob Crow’s death, but stressed that he would now be able to remove the waterproof mattress cover from his bed.
The government is now hoping the RMT will elect some twat who wants a peerage.Last edited by DaveB; 11 March 2014, 20:16.Tags: None
