alistair my point being that train strikers’ pay awards have nothing to do with Brexit as have eye watering pay increases that are being awarded in the City of London (which was predicted to have been decimated)
You didn’t really show that point - you didn’t even say what your mate’s pay increase was! Plus maybe he earned it via his performance or the performance of his company?
What have rail workers done to earn a significant pay rise besides voting to shoot their country (one of their ultimate employers) in its foot?
PS the City overall has still been declining - which obviously doesn’t mean that there won’t still be some people within that improving their situation. Your single anecdote doesn’t change that.
