Too many times they have become like a virus that does nothing but eats everything around them. The only logical endpoint is that they will devour the very thing which keeps them alive.<br /><br />The minute they set off on this road their end point can only be their own destruction. <br /><br />If only their members could see that their leaders are only interested in keeping their own nests feathered. Their determination to not have to rejoin the plebs knows no bounds.Restoring Britainhttp://restoringbritain.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-53151592037606376082012-09-28T03:09:35.573+01:002012-09-28T03:09:35.573+01:00The world has yet to recover from London Transport...The world has yet to recover from London Transports reckless decision to remove Conductors from the buses. <br /><br />Do you remember when the London dockers used to strike against the introduction of Containers?
