Actually Bob's salary is peanuts when compared to what most UK company directors are paying themselves

i,m glad you think 160 grand is peanuts try telling that to the majority working class .higher pay etc for railway workers meant higher ticket prices reaching the absurd situation making it cheaper to fly .

"She destroyed the NHS and destroyed industry in this country and as far as I'm concerned she can rot in hell."

This thread has nothing to do with Margaret Thatcher.....
I'm just seeking reasons why folks have such extreme feelings about Bob Crow to make such terrible comments that's all.

It goes beyond reason IMO to hold such views solely on the basis of what he allegedly said about Thatcher.....

How did Bob Crow affect your life ?

Union leader Bob Crow has said Margaret Thatcher can "rot in hell" for what she did to the country during her time as prime minister.
Crow, the general secretary of the RMT union, told BBC Radio London on Wednesday evening that Thatcher "created an ideological argument to attack working people" during her time in office and that there were "loads of loads of people who lost their houses, jobs and committed suicide because of what she did".
"She has got nothing in common at all with working people," he said. She didn't die in a hospice, she died in the Ritz, somewhere no working people could stay for one night."
"I wont shed one single tear over her death," he added. "She destroyed the NHS and destroyed industry in this country and as far as I'm concerned she can rot in hell."

To be honest cant argue with him.
