Tube bosses waste public funds on anti-strike propaganda
TfL chiefs barrage Londoners with ‘misleading’ ads

Tube bosses have waged a campaign of “party political propaganda” with taxpayers’ cash to back Tory Mayor Boris Johnson’s 1,000-job cull, London Underground workers alleged yesterday.

Publicly funded Transport for London (TfL) placed full-page adverts in newspapers including London’s Evening Standard — given out free on the Tube — and put posters up around the Underground network ahead of the RMT strike.

Passengers have also been sent emails promoting about “modernisation” that direct them to a slick website that includes warnings about “the future of the Tube.”
