A transport union official openly mocked commuters hit by crippling London tube strikes last week - from the luxury of a swimming pool in Majorca.
While millions struggled to get around the capital as the network ground to a halt, Daniel Gibbons – who sits on the executive committee representing thousands of Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) members – was busy documenting his break in the sun on Facebook.
Gibbons, from Welling in Kent, member for the South East, took time out of his holiday at the £129 a night BlueSea Club Marthas, to slam one woman who complained about the impact of the strikes in London as ‘dense’.
He shared a BBC Politics Live clip of commentator Anita Boateng talking about the ‘frustrating’ impact of strikes and argued that tube drivers get a generous enough pay package as it is.
Gibbons shared the clip and wrote: ‘Listen to this person so eloquently talk absolute bollocks. It must be a special gift to be that dense. Solidarity to the LUL (London Underground Limited) and DLR (Docklands Light Railway) RMT members.’
