Isabel Oakeshott: Britain is broken

Train passengers are suffering more disruption from strike action as talks resume in a bid to resolve the bitter dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Services started later than normal today as trains were delayed leaving depots due to Network Rail (NR) signallers and control room staff who would usually have worked overnight shifts taking part in Tuesday’s strike.
Just 60% of trains will run across the day as a whole, and some operators will wind down services slightly earlier than normal tonight ahead of Thursday’s walkouts.
The third strike of the week is planned for Saturday.
Around 40,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Network Rail and 13 train operators are involved in the industrial action.
RMT members on London Underground also went on strike on Tuesday.
The joint action caused travel chaos across Britain, with journeys taking longer and roads rammed with traffic as people switched to cars or buses to get to work.
The RMT will meet with NR and the train companies today in another attempt to break the deadlock.

BA Directors reinstated their salary's while the workers got nothing. I could go on and on sorry to say Mike Graham is talking out of his back side completely out of touch.
