Facebook Anomaly

Those with Facebook accounts can you find the group " The Sun "newspaper"
is an enemy of the people "

Forget the group itself - it was nothing special and a bit green wax
crayon - but it seems it's been dropped from the Facebook search results.
However, it does still exist with 1500 members.

Some are getting a bit paranoid about this. Murdoch as the man etc.

Quite interesting though.

 

No.

There is still "THE SUN NEWSPAPER IS SCUM" and "Don't Trust The Sun
Newspaper It Lies x". Rather more niche targets in that case though.

no

 

Has something changed?
In the lunch room/changing room/bog of any Unionised environment I've ever
been in a copy of The Sun was always to be found.

 

Yes - top of the list when I click 'See more results'. In fact exactly
the same as searching 'facebook the sun newspaper is an enemy of the
people' in Bing, which isn't surprising as Facebook search just uses
Bing now. At least it does in the new profile.

Certainly doesn't appear on the first page of searches.. if you put
the whole string in with the quotes it turns up a Bing search result
linking to the page.

 

Yes, the most read paper is now The Mail.

Suns were never that popular within the driving grade but that was
political dating from the 1982 strike. They were binned quickly and
those reading them tended to be told they were not a welcome publication.

When we still had paper trains it was common (as in when I was a young
Secondman I witnessed it a lot) for the bundle straps to be cut and the
windows in the vans opened before departure or drivers would simply piss
on the bundles.

You'll not see them in Liverpool messrooms either.

 

So it does. Tin foil hats off chaps!

 

The Daily Fail is that?.......

I did notice a slow migration to The Star.

I wonder how the new "i" is going to take off.

 

Can't recall ever seeing those in traincrew messrooms.

If it's as dull as its older brother then my guess is it won't.

 

If anyone told me I couldn't read the newspaper of my choice in any
mess room they'd be told to go get fucked... cheeky cunts.

What happened to the right to free speech and a free press then, Simon?
Don't the Labour Party or the unions believe in that kind of thing?

I'm pretty sure you would've fallen out with the rail bosses before you
fell out with the workers, and done the fucking off yourself.

It's up there with the right to protest and withdraw labour.

I'm quite happy with someone reading the Sun in my mess room but they would
have to put up with my protestations in the form of taking the piss.

 

Some did, some didn't but in the main most were in favour of freedom of
speech and would have loved a free press. Sentiments which were almost
universally shared by newspaper proprietors with the proviso that such
freedoms apply only to themselves or those educated at Eton and certainly
not to the great unwashed. This, unsurprisingly, caused friction.
..

 

I'm pretty sure I'd have done my damndest to defy them in any legal way
possible.

That's fair enough, I can shut out the sound of someone taking the piss
when I'm reading, but no-one tells me what I can and can't read. I'm
just as likely to be offended by someone reading left wing literature
and newspapers, but I usually have the decency and manners to STFU and
keep my views to myself, which is precisely what I'd expect anyone else
to do when confronted by my reading material.

Depends if you chose to sit at my table. Just like UKRM, anyone sharing my
table in a works canteen is there for my entertainment. Probably explains
why I never got promoted off the shop floor at Xerox.

Sit at another table if you want to read your Harry Potter book. Simples.

 

If you believe the Sun represents freedom of speech then there's not a
great deal that can be done for you. Hence it was unpopular.

No-one would have said you couldn't read it but I'm sure someone would
have found you a colouring book when you'd finished it.

 

You wouldn't last long - the only thing that keeps the railways running
is cooperation. This may seem counter intuitive.

f you're in the awkward squad you soon find everyone rounding on you.
There's a time and a place for everything.

The real skill is knowing where and when.

 

Can you still be expelled from the union if you're a 'difficult'
member? Once they're done that then your days are always numbered
because the employer doesn't want problems amongst the workers.

A skill you're trying your hardest to acquire?

"Get me a newspaper - the Sun. Oh, and something to read as well"

You've pretty much summed up exactly why I'll never belong to a union.
