Great mathematical conclusions of our time

[davywavy]

I see that the National Union of Journalists are up in arms over the shocking statistic that 50% of people earn less than the average wage.

I can only conclude that a qualification in basic maths is not a requirement for becoming a Union activist these days. In fact, in the light of the above evidence I suspect that such a qualification would be a serious handicap.

Good point, well made.

This is why the RMT has to resort to threats of screwing up the london economy to get their way with the Underground - not even they could keep a straight face if they tried claiming that their members deserved more cash due to merit or hard work.

Indeed. As I understand you have wisely observed yourself, those 'worthless imbecillic donkeypunchers' would probably starve if forced to tout their inferior malodorous service in an open market, hence the 'congestion charge' to twist the market sufficiently to make their inferior overpriced urine-soaked jalopies less uncompetetive, in comparison.

Of course, our 'Four legs good, two legs better' masters still swan round in their Ukrainian hooker strewn Daimlers.

Ken is doubling the cost of underground fares in January.
Apparently he things that there are far too many tourists in London and they make the place untidy, so he hopes to encourage them to go elsewhere.

And not because the quality of the service has doubled?

Today is the only day I have used the Underground this week that it hasn't been in some way broken, delayed, or otherwise massively delayed my journey.

You should write and congratulate them.
