Bob Crow has died

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Bob Crow made the railways a safer place for everyone. OK, it may have coincided with his members interests but he fought tirelessly against the privatised rail industry's attempts to cut manning&safety corners. RIP.

Didn't hate the man at all. Respected him. Didn't always agree with him.

It's a sad loss. We need people with his leadership qualities on the left and right. RIP.

Beautifully assessed, H.

RIP Bob.

It is sad when anybody dies at that age,so RIP.
As several others have stated,didn't agree with his politics ,but he stood up for what he believed in.
A bit of a shame that some of those who were overjoyed about Margaret Thatcher's death and said so, are unable to take some welly when their working class hero dies.
But hey,that is NSC for you.

You can take my comment in anyway you like I was just saying that the council house will go to someone who actually need it. I wasn't laughing or anything and can't really see what the problem is with my comment.

When Thatcher died then there was some really nasty things said on here and hardly anyone battered an eye lid, I mention council house and there's outrage.

How can you compare anyone to Thatcher !!

Exactly this. Well said.

I do wonder what the issue with him is. He looked after his workers, who democratically voted him in year after year to represent them, and he worked tirelessly to give us a better, cheaper and safer rail service. He never swerved from his beliefs and was trustworthy and open. Surely the UK needs more people like this in power?

Precisely. Politics aside he leaves a partner and kids.

They can be proud of his achievements.

"Thatcher can rot in hell" B. Crow

Oopsy!

In all seriousness, sad that a huge political figure has gone, as anyone with an interest in politics will feel. Nice to see a tempered response from the right of centre supporters in the UK.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I was gonna say what a thoughtless thing to say. But it wasnt thoughtless, you clearly have thought it through. You either simply want a reaction, or really do want ill to Bob Crow and others who share his stand on things.

The first is pathetic and juvenile, the second shows you to be a nasty human being.
