  Oh! well more lorries on the road goodbye freightliner jobs.
  can people really sacrifice the jobs they have especially when other container ports are up & running & in direct competition with Southampton?

  Think you'll find that Freightliner operate in Tilbury, Felixstowe, Thamesport too!

  .. see where you are coming from but just checked the RMT website and this dispute is local to Southampton - not national.

  Its National freefinker the dispute started Felixstowe, I known about this for about a Mth now, its just that Southampton wants to apply the pressure first to get managerment to the Table, and yes I know what the web site says, but its different to what the RMT news paper says, (if you want to read the RMT news paper try the Wheel Tappers and Shunters Social Club in Eastleigh, not sure what its called now)

  .. think I'd rather believe the official RMT website than go on some wild goose-chase to obscure club in an out of the way place to find an even more obscure publication which may or may not confirm what the notoriously inaccurate southy tells us all is the truth.

  Web sites can be altered by hackers and there is plently of them out there that will do that, the RMT news paper is printed and publish by the RMT (its a Union News Paper), and its not out of the way place it not to far away from the train station.
  Its just that you do not want to learn the truth.
  
  Oh on a different note the Oceanography as a film off a rare jelly fish "Deepstaria enigmatica" just came in a day or two ago from a drilling rig of the coast of south america, meant to be the largest jelly fish in the world.

  .. oh southy, this is becoming quite silly. Whenever I quote TUSC or RMT websites to disprove the rubbish you spout in these columns, you always fall back on ‘websites can be altered by hackers’.
  
  There seems to be a consistent theme to this whenever you are proved to be wrong by sources in tune with your political ideology.

  _/ you said ‘There s 212 TUSC candidates plus 56 Socialist party 11 Socialist Alliance, 34 Socialist Greens, also Socialist workers party and other groups’ standing in the 2012 local elections.
  
  When I pointed out the official TUSC website stated there will be only 132 TUSC endorsed candidates plus 17 on the Greater London list, you told us all ‘Buy the TUSC paper, some body keeps hitting the site and changing stuff on there.’
  
  Funny that, looking again at the TUSC website, the 6 May article on the results says ‘a total of 133 candidates, standing in 132 wards in 40 councils, contested the English and Welsh local elections on May 3rd 2012, under the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) umbrella.’
  
  Perhaps you would now like to tell us why a determined hacker seems to be quite happy to just slightly adjust the statistics – no doubt with the sole motive of proving you wrong in these exchanges with me.
  
  And perhaps you could explain why TUSC, who seem very capable of posting numerous new items on their own website, seem to totally incapable of correcting all their hacked statistics so as to match the obviously true data that only you seem to be privy to."
