Fewer and fewer people will do so, it’ll become more and more frowned upon, and then the ban will be able to be enforced effectively as it’ll be a small number to deal with. you can’t drink on the buses, you’re not supposed to drink in taxis, most of Scotland has banned drinking on the street for years now, I’ve neveR understood how trains managed to escape the ban for as long as they did tbh. However I don’t agree with any of it. It seems like over the last couple generations, successive governments have sought to chase alcohol away from mainstream public spaces and keep it hemmed in to either licensed premises ( which they can control ) or the home - out of sight out of mind. Because we’re all a bunch of jakey bams obvs Falkirk has had the street drinking bylaw since the 90s its well known that it doesn’t cover folk who look hard enough and confrontational enough to make the polis skip the bother of issuing you a fixed penalty as they can’t be arsed dealing with the grief they get in return different story if you were to take some wine to your picnic tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 No point in worrying about it at the moment. LNER don't have a clue what they are doing yet. Suspect the LNER will end up cancelled and if previous strikes are anything to go by, nothing runs north of the central belt. Hey ho. These things are sent to try us. Wee Lizzie doing you a favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Just so we're clear about this, the RMT do not favour disrupting a minority of monarchist boot-lickers slithering their way to Edinburgh/London. But when it's back to providing a service for the plebs, near-total network disruption is once again acceptable for Reasons. Launch these utterly craven syndicalists into the sun. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They currently have a degree of public support and sympathy, and the likes of Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey are able to speak to the media primarily on the subject at hand. As fucking ludicrous as it may be, had they continued striking during the collective lunacy of grieving time, not only would they have been branded "disrespectful" and lost the majority of that support (which helps their bargaining power), but every media appearance would be nothing but queries and derision about haunted old Liz, derailing (pardon the pun) their actual objective. Whilst it would have certainly been funny to see a bunch of union jack clad paedos greeting all over tv about not getting to w**k in the bushes within 200 yards of her coffin, continuing the strikes wouldn't have benefitted the RMT cause in any way shape or form. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence that nefarious 'public support' (evidence needed) is helping their bargaining power at all. The reality is that the RMT doffed their caps to the institution of monarchy and joined the crowd of utterly craven bootlickers. Which is unlikely to do much for their public support now that they're back to, err, disrupting the public at every available opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Train for Montrose pulls into Aberdeen station there and sits about for 10 mins before telling everyone on board "unfortunately this service has been cancelled due to a train fault" On a morning when their website says there's the risk of short term cancellations due to overtime-related strike action? With a train that was clearly working 10 mins ago? Train fault my arse. Dirty rotten lying b*****ds.
