    When it eventually kicks off, I'm sure the OB will nick them, put them in a dry cell and charge them in the morning.

    The break away 8 have sent out the new contracts to the carded labour. The overtime, trace and securities of being on thr cards are not.in the new contract. The new grades are there also. It is up to the cardies labour to reject. The new contract on mass. Anyone acting alone will be sacked.

    300 of us stormed the Farringdon station site this morning and occupied the site for an hour until the police arrived and forced us out

    Just in case anyone was interested. over 400 of us today marched to King Cross station Site. Met by large amount of police. picketed the site entrance. Blocked off a couple roads and took over the concourse for over an hour. There were lots of unhappy suits. How can people still be making their way to work at 9:10?

    Who is that original bloke speaking?

    Tommy Clarkes eh.... Must send this to Tavern.  "They're not f***ing struggling are they"!

    There's a really important bit around 6 minutes into that video. Our beloved "We're all in it together" Coalition have just changed the ruling on Employment Law protection. As it stands you are entitled to your rights after 12 months of employment but it will soon be 24 months and then if you do get sacked unfairly YOU are going to have to pay to take your case to a tribunal. Disgusting.

    There's a few faces there that I remember.
    Steve ? the one with the nose who wanted to start a revolution at Bond Street, and kevin? the big lump standing next to the jock at the end.
    Takes a lot of effort to keep up the fight.
    Good luck.
    I struggle to accept those people walking onto site, accepting the fliers.
    At the least, just take the day off.
