The link above shows how the police callously sought to provoke trouble on a peaceful student demo today which was attended by RMT members. One young member was pushed around for no good reason. All trade unionists need to get on these demos to defend the working class childs right to an education , we need many more flags and banners next time.

Dear sir,
As a regular user of the tube, I urge you to reconsider the cuts as I feel we have a sufficient passenger service (albeit not excellent!). I fear any cuts would only further detriment what is already an understaffed industry, in fact among other things, the reason the current staff just about get on with it is because the majority of them appear thoroughly polite, efficient and hard-working. in light of this we londoners support the strike action and hope that you hear our voices and reconsider.
Yours sincerely

As a London resident I completely agree with you about the importance of having adequate staff on the London Underground. In my view, there are currently too few staff and to reduce the numbers further is dangerous, unhelpful and demonstrates a lack of insight and too much focus on the bottom line.
Best wishes,
Caitlin Morrow
I support the strike - as a woman who often travels alone on tubes I really value having hard working and helpful tube staff on hand to ask for assistance.
Keep on fighting the cuts!

LUL safety and jobs – congratulations on another solid strike
Dear Colleague,
I would like to congratulate you on delivering another rock-solid strike to defend safety and jobs.
TfL’s dishonesty about the effects of the dispute, as well as their lies over unstaffed stations have now well and truly caught up with them and that the public no longer trust them.
