How Mick Lynch OWNED The Media 

Yes, if Labour had the balls to talk like this I'm convinced they would get a landslide. but here we are and Labour spend their time hiding away and trying not to be seen at all.

He couldn't afford the drop in salary, he earns £124,000, an MP only £84,000 !

He can claim £200k+ in expenses like all Tory MPs

@@jjefferyworboys8138 he said live on lbc he earns 80 something thousand, so where have you got your lies from?

@@IrishPharaoh2008 these people are worse than paid shills -- they spout nonsense for free

You can see the script I her head, and hear it tear itself apart as the conversation goes on 😆

Hah, hadn’t seen your comment before I made mine. You’re 100% correct though 😄

Wasnt she just ..😁

I don't think it's the Burley skank. I'd say it 's the Kelvinside Corncrake Kirsty Wark.

Apologies, I was getting the earlier clip mixed up with the later one!

Is he a fascist? Does he despise non white people?

👍😊

Fascists! Really?

Fascism is based on syndicalism, which is trade unionism lol

@@bradleywilson2115 lol

Richard "wiggy" Madeley managed to do the same thing on GM Britain. That pillock shot himself in the foot too.

I can’t believe she thinks she did a good job. She was so aggressive, rude and ignorant

Crazy eyes.

More accurately, she "is" an embarrassment. However, I seriously doubt she embarrassed herself. Simply for the reason that she is too entitled to be that self-aware. I expect she thinks she did a really good job.

@@kellychamberlain6093 Yes. That's from multiple facelifts. No, seriously.

You could see the hysteria building up in her eyes lol I thought she was about to foam at the mouth like a rabid dog? lol

You'd applaud someone who thinks his paying union members work for him? Words that came directly from his mouth when discussing union rep wages. The man is a parasite.

Me too.

Passport check

Well - is he that good ,they are still on strike with no sign of a conclusion ?.

I'm not even from the UK and I would go out and applaud him

Who writes these questions on behalf of the public, Rupert Murdoch

You are not ‘asking questions’ on behalf of me Ms Burley

Yes I noticed that, probably been socked by one of her many enemies.

His snivelling little child was on show.

Mick Lynch proper squashed the little squirmlette.. loved it 😀 More!

@Big pants The Minister for Smirking and Smarminess just about managed to keep smirking, although, as you wrote, he did keep averting his eyes. Needs to be sent back to the factory where he came off the bigot assembly line. Hopefully, the factory workers will swap around his backside and smirking gob so future utterances come literally out of his a4se.

I’ve never once seen Chris Philp in all his many and technicolour tv apperances look either comfortable, believable or believing what he is saying and not stratospherically out of his depth. He just repeats the same things over and over and once he’s challenged he tries to talk over the other person.. Mick wasn’t having that.. hehe

Yes! Hunt wouldn't look Lynch in the eyes. A tacit acceptance that he was indeed lying.

Inflation has to fought on the backs of everyone. It's just that the poor feel it more. This gives the impression that it's fought on the backs of the poor. Unfotunately no-one understands economics anymore.

Yes your right and it's been happening for the last 13 years

Hee hee...the way she was giggling, I wouldn't be surprised if she now has a secret crush on him....🌻

The snobbery of the main stream media thinks Mr Lynch is thick cos he left school at 16 and has a working class accent . However he’s smarter than them and runs rings round all the journalists and politicians

A real man👏👏Thank you for your efforts mr lynch😡😡

He's become a bit of a celeb, if not a hero to many. Labour can nominate people for honours. Over to you, Sir Keir

Mick Lynch is officially the Leader of Her Majesty's Government big up👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The truth is a PROBLEM for him HIS pathetic lack of COURAGE is obvious, TYPICAL LYING TORY.

Treating them with all of the respect they deserve.

Ravakeksis ■ Seeing the faces of the politicans after being called liars, is something I could watch all day.

@@cliffgaither its a great deterrent for the next guy in that chair

@@cliffgaither absolutely. He looks like such a snivelling little weasel. Probably hoped to earn himself a drink from the senior tortes by going on tv, instead he just made himself look pathetic.

The stench of a liar...

Pure humanity

He calls a spade a spade

Respect.

Can't even see you

I love how he pointed out they put him in a remote studio where he can't even see his co-guest, just hear them. basically revealing more of the bullshit feints of hand the pro-business media rely on

Brilliant....😂

@@SAMJE123456 We don't labour are Tories in disguise

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Really??

@Alex Holmes I work........and help others every day. Strike???? If I strike, I don't get money to eat or pay bills....alright for some it seems.

@@mariafrost1762 yes really maria , nobody likes being walked over , its ok for the likes of MPs to get a £2500 pay rise but not the working class people of this country , open your eyes or shut your mouth

@Alex Holmes And where were these unions last year, the year before, five years ago, ten years ago. Bloody nowhere!!

@Alex Holmes Nope!

Longer, 40yrs plus...

I agree ,Mick Lynch so composed in front of constantly trying to get him to lose his temper,Burley was disgusting ,was she on something because she certainly looked like she was.

£124,000 salary, plus benefits and expenses. Just another average millionaire working bloke ?

@@jjefferyworboys8138 Care to back that up?

@@jjefferyworboys8138 I googled it and found an interview with him saying it was more like 84k pounds. Still way higher than the average pay. "There are no supreme saviors, Neither God, nor Caesar nor tribune"

The last thing this country needs is a socialist like him anywhere near power.

the wealthy class will NEVER allow it, like Corbyn they will find ways to silence any real opposition or anyone who deviates from corporate capitalism aka exploitations of the peasant class.

Just love Mick Lynch. No Tory presenter can get round him. He represents the workers not the Oligarchy. Absolute Legend😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Keep taking the tablets Sam ?. Just imagine him at one of those meeting of P.M.s that regularly get together ,he would hardly fit ,even in a "black tie and tails " do .Might be O.K. stood on a crate in a workers canteen shouting ,but hardly a politician in waiting .

Yes, no need to wonder who has got their arm up her arse.

I love the fact the silly woman said MY viewers as if she owns them. What a trumped up wind bag she has become.

And one of them is Rupert Murdoch 🤷‍♀️

That was a lmao moment. I just hope enough viewers were awake to notice the lie.

haha 'the people of britain up and down the country', when did Kay last visit a foodbank? The people of Britain identify with the strikers !!

Exactly

I can see Starmer belatedly jumping on that bandwagon Will Boris have the cheek to try and do the same?

God yes....we need some of that!

They'd off him in a heartbeat

@@Irishgui83 absolutely right 👌👍

How do we organise the revolution

Where do I sign !

I'm Dutch, and that's one of the few things even i remember seeing on the news in my country as a kid.

The police were politicised during the miners strike. I worked in Notts and the police were stopping cars to see if we were going to a picket. I was not but it would have been entirely legal to do so.

As an 80’s child I was too young to remember the miners strikes, but even I have images in my head of police wielding batons and cracking them over the heads on picket lines. Yet Kay remembers the miners strikes as miners on a drug and booze fuelled rampage, raping a pillaging. Wait, now that she said it like, that’s how I remember history too... good on her for “just asking” for “her” audience.

@@spiritualanarchist8162 But you wouldn't see it on the news in this country. They painted it as all the miners being violent thugs.

@@ExpendableRedshirt no surprise there

Those skills are about scoring points. How you say something is more important than what you say. Lies don't matter if you 'win' the debate.

"There are no supreme saviors, Neither God, nor Caesar nor tribune"

He is not just representing his members well but all of working class people and revealing the corporate media that has people brainwashed. When did it become media's job to be the the mouthpiece of these private companies? Interview the HR President of these companies or say they declined the interview.

Spot on ✊

HE DOESNT LET THEM OFF ITS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH

I retire end of next month. Looking forward to it, but a bit scared....giving up my job is something I've only done twice....First time wasn't a good move.....

Totally agree. I was in the forces and often lost leave. Ambulance strike ? Fireman's strike ? Oil tanker drivers strike? We would go mad about about unions. I'm 62 this year , and I now get it . He is not a Marxist, or a communist. He is doing his job. The British taxpayer should not be paying for working tax credits so employers can get out of paying a living wage. Blair made three mistakes. Minimum wage, Tax credits and allowing flood of Eastern European workers in. No I'm not racist. These same workers ended up being exploited and treated badly as well. Those three things combined was an employers dream. Look where we are and how the young suffer. We all suffer.

I didn't see any one having heart failure

You missed the labour point it’s about them the Parliamentarians against us the people

We need people like him here In the USA !

@@ohdannyboythepipes3638 Well he did have his/the members being beaten by thug Police.

Not so much when they instructed their members to vote for Brexshit. Can't get every call right I guess.

And how the BBC manipulated footage to manufacture false narratives around Orgreave?

How many mines are working today ? All yesterdays men.

Hope so. Labour are vacant, and untrustworthy.

The only people who will be interviewing him we have done their research. The fakers won`t go near him for a `real interview` because they know they would be shown up for the chancers they are. God Speed Mick Lynch.

Don't talk crap. Clear off to your spiritual home RUSSIA!!

Given his media performances, I don't think they will be interviewing him so much in the future.

That’s the problem the media don’t like people who say it how it is they only like yes men

what kind of help are you looking for from a non-Marxist? voluntary redundancy with a severance package is all you´re gonna get.

He's as working class as every other millionaire on a salary of £124,000 ! All paid for by those earning substantially less.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 But in his case he is worth it.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 yes and he stands up for the working class so tell me how many people on that salary help the workers ?

@@jjefferyworboys8138why do you keep putting the same shite in your comments. Weren't you given any attention when you younger. Perhaps you need to see a shrink!

Pragmatic and emotionally detached. Perfect.

Well said

Now imagine he was pretending he doesn’t know what a woman is 🙄

You are dead right Shaf .

Lunch is clearly not too clever or playing some populist corrupt game. He is a Brexiteer... And the reason? He opposed FOM.. A right he & his Brexit friends have taken away from us. . That's despite the evidence was FOM had very little effect on wage depreciation and that was outweighed by the positive advantages. There is a difference btwn a labor shortage and a labour surplus. Many Australians, including trade Unionists, in the 1950's objected to their government promoting immigration. They thought it depressed wages but there were too many vacancies.. Stopping immigration would only have meant wages rising in one area creating vacancies elsewhere as employees swooped jobs. Result? Wage inflation and if inflation is the answer to prosperity then Zimbabwe would now be mega rich. Secondly, the surge of East Europeans here was caused by the UK voluntarily letting them when the other major EU countries didn't. Poor from the collaspe of communism, of course many came but they overwhelmingly all worked, so we needed the labour. Now the East Europeans are richer & facing demographic decline. The surge was a one off. Voting to Leave to stop 'poor' East Europeans supposedly depressing wages was not so much bolting the stable door too late but burning down the stable. Brexit is bad for the UK and particularly bad for the North of England where people are poorer and will be made even poorer by Brexit..Already the country is trillions worse off... 🙄 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 How come "clever" Lynch dosent know that? 🤔

"There are no supreme saviors, Neither God, nor Caesar nor tribune..."

News is entertainment and most TU activity is very dull.

'Get him told Mick' - huh?

@@butterflymoon6368 ... and get him told he did! (I know it sounds a bit like Yoda but say it slowly and sense it does make)

This is the beautiful thing about it. He’s been brought on air by presenters to try and goad him into answering ridiculous questions to effectively undermine him, the rmt and the members he represents. The result is he’s so straight talking and plain with the facts, he’s made them look like a bunch of idiots. He’s not the idiot waffling politician they’re used to.

He couldn't afford the drop in salary. He earns £124,000 and an MP only £84,000. He's also a millionaire !

No you don’t. He wouldn’t get anything done in politics. He’s in a far stronger position where he is. If the kids start chanting his name at Glastonbury - that will be another breakthrough.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 He deserves more in my opinion

@@johnhughes6182 True, he's a valuable asset to the trade union movement

there used to be people like Mick Lynch IN politics. Men who told it straight, men who thumped the table and actually gave a f--k about the people they represent. No one like that in politics in the UK now - they're not in touch with the people, they are not outraged, or driven by the desire to change things - now they want the money, and the 15 minutes of fame. Except Zara.

The trouble is most do.

Kay burley is the violent one. She attacked a female reporter in the past

There are no supreme saviors, Neither God, nor Caesar nor tribune

Well said👋👋👋

Corbyn. Jeez. Absolute clown

these days, the parliamentary Labour Party is tory light

Great point. It's tempting to be cynical, and unhelpful to make comparisons between two different countries. However, when I lived in Britain, it felt like the same story only worse. The pay was similar between Oz and UK, only living costs in UK were horrendous. In the past 20 years though, the Oz Tories did a great job aiming towards a fractured, unequal US model. We just had a heap of independents elected, so I see a disillusionment with the Labor party. But the Labor leader, thankfully, ultimately prevailed because the alternative was so despicably rancid. Lynch made a great point that labor has lost its fire, and in moves populists. He is a breath of fresh air, and the best thing to happen to the Labor party. A wake up call.

@@pashakdescilly7517 you don't say

Totally agree the Labour party is useless and the leader is like don't rock the boat

That'd be the day!

Actually she is one of the best and asks probing questions to ALL. Just, in this case she more than met her match. A point she realised early on, when she asked him NOT to ridicule her. WELL DONE MICK! 👍🏿

@@georgejack8023 shes absolutely awful.

Yes well said !

The more I see him on TV the more I like him. If he doesn’t go into politics he should get his own TV no-nonsense straight talking TV show where he interviews politicians

So true

The system isn’t broken in the slightest. It is operating exactly how it was designed to operate. The problem for the working class is the fact it wasn’t and isn’t designed and implemented for us.

I hope Mick Lynch doesn't have a stroke during a doctors and nurses strike. How would he feel if passengers who lost money during this 6 day strike blockaded train depots, stations and tracks when rail staff want to return to work? Mick Lynch isn't protesting for fat cats to get less money...

Let's see, I hope Mick Lynch doesn't have a stroke during a doctor's and nurses strike. He isn't campaigning for fat cats to get less money or higher taxes on excessive profits. How would he feel if rail passengers protested at depots, stations and on tracks when the rail staff want to return to work...

@@TheUntypicals The right to strike is vital in a democratic society, and its one of the few ways of redressing the power imbalance between employer and employee. If you're against these strikes, you're against democracy, working rights, and working people. So stop whinging. Also, a picket line isn't a blockade. People can still pass through.

@@TheUntypicals Not quite sure using the doctors and nurses as a good example of how other services are reacting to the train strikes, have a look how many times doctors and nurses have actually threatened or took industrial action since the Torries came into power fighting for a decent wage increase, and don’t forget during Covid19 it was due to public pressure that the Government had to give the nurses and doctors a financial bonus for all their hard work during Covid and that was after Bojo made his historical message “Let the bodies pile high” so at a guess the NHS workers will be right behind Mike !!!!! As for train passengers blocking stations etc I think you’ll find that the majority of people that were questioned by the MSM actually backed Mike, many said it’s about time someone actually stood up for the working man as Starmer certainly wasn’t going to !!! As Mike put it, people are sick watching the man at the top getting big fat bonuses and these owners making vast amounts of profits when the working man’s denied wage increases for years !!!! No, Mike will be put to the front of the cue if he has a heart attack and I’m prity certain rail travellers will wish they had a union rep just like Mike, especially the low paid that only get the basic pay and are having to use food banks to survive !!!! Let’s not forget these owners intend implementing redundancies across the whole of the train sector, do you really believe that these train passengers will be taking their anger out in this sectors workers or where the real troubles are implemented from, higher up the chain, I think we will see more and more public sector workers follow in the footsteps of Mike !!!! This is what the working public see as “Levelling Up” not the vision that Boris Johnson and his Government keep pumping out to the public as “this is what the public want !!!”

​@@TheUntypicals Good little serf.

The working class care about the working class. The difference here is a strong union and members standing together. He’s been elected by his members (myself included) for the job and he’s doing the job we elected him for brilliantly, earning every penny of his £80k salary which comes from our subs. When people stand together and unite it can lead to change. Our media have done everything they can to divide people over minute issues in order to prevent people standing together and uniting. If people are in a position to join a union, then it’s the best thing they can do.

Unite ✊️

working people deserve respect and proper pay.

If you look up the anarchist communist group you will find plenty of us who care very much for the working class .

Working people end up fighting the same battles time after time in different periods and the same enemies emerge in a clearer form for them. This is where class consciousness develops and expresses itself.

I would bet he has been thru loads of media training, which is why he so skillfully sidesteps all the traps that are laid for him.

@@pgl0897 You might be right, but I've worked on campaigns with folk who've had media training and there's a specific way that they talk (just listen to basically any politician from any party, eg. David Cameron, Nicola Sturgeon, Gordon Brown). Mick Lynch just sounds like a normal person. I could be wrong obviously, but I don't think that'd be true if he'd had media training

Indeed we do. It also needs a lot of people to read "99%: Mass Impoverishment and How We Can End It" - Mark Thomas. It is full of solid evidence that we all need to call out the lies of the Tory Politicians. Basically Thatcherism has been all about taking power from working people and using it to grab their share of the UK's national income. It is not an accident of economic activity but a specific political policy.

@@kevincrossinggum5015 I know that Sky News Australia is owned by Murdoch, but Sky News in the UK is slightly different in that it is part of the Sky UK group as a whole, and although Murdoch may be a part owner (or major share holder) he doesn't have the same control over it.
