Why Fear Of Muslims / Islam Is Only Logical + 'Black' People + Ukraine

Just as with homophobia, people don't like to apply objective thinking to touchy subjects such as Islamophobia.

The Real Truth About The Latest London Tube Strikes

As is typical, the newspapers only offer half of a story.

They mention only the unions discontent about the 24hr shift patterns and pay - rarely quoting a representative while never criticising the acts and intentions of the Public Transport bosses.

 London doesn't need a 24 hour tube service... Clearly.

The publications make it seem as though the unions are loathsomely careless and petty. Just as they've been told.

This is how our captors function: The banks are handling increasing customers aside the misguided hunger to decrease payroll costs by planning to close all counters and move to machine-only staffing. This is a pursuit of futility. Humans will be needed to fix the machines and the customers will flock to the banks with the highest proportion of human staffing. Why even announce such an aim? It's mad.

Why does it seem that our leaders (captors) are mindless and have disregarded compassion completely?

These are the main reasons TFL / LUL workers are so rightfully eager to strike:

23,000 people, 30% 'minorities', 22% female. Surprising.

Due to the bosses and despite better alternative strategies, 24 hour rotas mean that all staff who were on variable shifts (worked mornings / days and evenings (-1am)) are now forced to work all night - yes, with no choice.

The all-nighter pay is proposed to be exactly the same as days.

With this change, all staff are to be dislocated from their regular close-to-home station and given three or more stations that they 'could' be ordered to go to. Creating more work for everyone, the locations can be up to ten miles away from the employee's residence.

The numbers of human-staffed ticket offices in London train stations are steadily being reduced to less than 20 in the city. There are around 366 stations in London.

TFL has tested new automated-service machines, even on their own staff for 'training' purposes, that will replace them. Until they break.

By 2025, LUL plans to cut 70% of their human staffing...

A Memo 4 Noisy Commuters on Public Transport

Shut the Hell UP!!!
You are trading in your consideration for strangers as well as many people's happiness, simply for the chance for your irrelevant and worthless trivia to be heard by all. I don't even understand your fucking language!!
Everyone without headphones on is suffering, because of you, your disgusting language and your ape-like mouth noises.
Why are you shouting when you don't have to? Surely, on most calls, you can still be heard by who you are talking to if you aren't shouting - just speak quietly.
Up against all of the things that one could possibly be talking about, compassion for others should be of some importance.
When compassion is a factor, such as when your group (Loudies) is in public, at the very least, it should be of effect. 
If you can communicate quietly, arguably with more effectiveness, you must be a moron not to do so.

Odd Trains: Extortionate and Unfair Rail Services

SHORT AS

"Whoever... Is this fair?"

Journey A takes 30 mins and travels a distance of 30 miles
Journey B takes 30 mins and travels a distance of 30 miles

Journey A is under more demand, yet has the same train frequency and number of carriages as Journey B, which gets fewer passengers and less demand.

Journey A costs 34 coins to take
Journey B costs 14 coins to take

Does this make sense?
Why and how are these companies allowed to do this?

In 2008, a ticket which could be used to return with within 30 days of purchase, costed
a fifth more than the price of a single fare.
In 2012, a ticket which could be used to return with within 30 days of purchase, costed
the same as two singles.

"Pubic transport in Great Britain...."

Contactless Payments Coming Up!!! - Diabolical Secrets

UPDATE: It is now 12th June 2014 and there are voice announcements playing on the buses saying "Cash will no longer be accepted on buses"... 

There is no reason for me to lie and there's no reason to not believe this (reverse as appropriate).

"Soo, an insider source has told me that the privatised Transport for London is currently (8/2013) training their staff to work with and administer 'Contactless Payment' scheduled to be in use "by 2016."

Extortionate Transport Fares Will Continue To Rise

Will transport companies stop milking their customers? NO. Fares rise as services remain poor. They have even shortened the trains...as numbers of passengers rise, the train capacities decrease with little to no increase to frequency. It would seem that commuters are Hated.

For Example -- I am between London and Cambridge (Uk capital and a smaller city) the journeys to either destination take the same duration of time from where I start. But the tickets are different prices: to Cambridge and back -right now- it is £11 for a return and £10 for a single compared to London and back's £15 single £18 return -- You spend the same amount of time on each journey (Less Than 30 mins) but the London one is used more..Those cheeky animals.

A monthly ticket bought by a worker a month in advance is nearly the same price as 4 weekly tickets bought consecutively, that cant be right.. today a weekly ticket is 116 pounds, up from 110.

For a start, Why isn't there a 5 day ticket? Most long-distance commuters only use their tickets on the workdays, so why must they be forced into buying a 7 day pass, with no alternative if they want to get the least offensive deal. For the workers: SELL A 5 DAY PASS .

What these companies are doing is extortion. They understand that people have to work and travel to do it, whatever the conditions. Theoretically, with the fact we are consistently too sheepish to protest, They Can Do What They Like, even if  it prices the working out of jobs.
"I cant afford to do this job anymore" 

£445 A MONTH... MOST PEOPLE ONLY MAKE AROUND £1000 A MONTH... Is it reasonable to pay half of your wages out on travel costs?.. Housing rent is £400 a month at least. So HOW are millions of people expecting to live?

Public transport services should be Under Public Control... but no, our services are owned by Americans and other wealthy international companies, who have no reason to help us mere NUMBERS.
The London Underground is no better..

London Underground travelcard prices

 Prices will only keep on rising if we allow our governments to forfeit control..
