‘Anti-Christ!’ Bizarre moment Mick Lynch heckled for ‘holding the country to ransom’. The RMT chief said his member are ‘once bitten twice shy’ after calling off industrial action a fortnight ago – but added that talks with Mr Harper this afternoon had been positive. He said: ‘If we call off strikes we won’t get a settlement. We’ve not had a strike for seven weeks and nothing’s happened. There’s been ample time for this lot to get their act together… and they’ve done nothing.’ As he spoke he was heckled by a man proclaiming ‘Jesus is coming’ and accused the union boss of being a ‘communist’, ‘anti-Christ’ and ‘anti-Government’. Ministers have come under mounting pressure to end the rail strikes crisis – as analysis showed walkouts could blow a £3billion hole in the economy by the New Year. There will be four 48-hour walkouts between December 13 and January 7, forcing many revellers to cancel parties and shoppers to stay at home instead – and lay waste to events booked in hospitality venues. There will also be a ban on overtime working from December 18 to January 2. This will hit services on Sundays and other key dates such as Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve, when many travel to be with loved-ones and friends.
