Tube drivers refused to go into city

Not to rag on tube drivers (cos who'd want to get blown up) but the DLR don't need drivers and why look... it runs a fuckload better...

Thats what life insurance is for...

Really if it comes to a choice of well you can stop going to work, lose your house and live on the state or facing a tiny chance of being killed by a suicide bomber 99.9% choose the second option.

I'm sure the 50 something people who died, and the 500 or so people injured 2 weeks ago would agree with you.

Yeah, sod having a living dad - those kids will be brought up much better with a single mother and a bit of money.

Newsflash for you - people with kids die everyday - lifes not perfect but the kids wont go hungry.

I work with some of those injured 2 weeks ago and they do agree because they are still commuting into London everyday on the tube.

Next...

No, but if they feel they have a better chance of being there for their kids if they don't go in to work in the few days surrounding a terrorist attack on public transport, then who the hell are you to judge them?

Since when has that been the subject? this threads about tube drivers at work who decided they wouldnt go into london because there was trouble on other lines...

Most people just go back to work to be honest - the thing is your statistically safer in the couple of days following a terrorist attack anyway as the police swarm like ants.

This thread is about you thinking a few tube drivers are cowards because they felt there was a good chance they'd be involved in a terrorist incident. After three pages it seems that you're the only one who thinks this, and tbh you're clearly wrong.

 

[Gumbo]

I think it too.

(I may be trolling)

i thought that was always the subject, they are cowards because they dont want to put themselves (and so their kids futures?) at risk? nice logic

You know their now threatening industrial action? The bottom line is you cannot retreat from terrorism - if we closed the tube do you think the terrorists would stop?

Of course they wont - they'd see it as a victory and move onto the next target.

And as I have said throughout this thread its the passengers who are taking the biggest risk of death not the drivers.
