Just Mick Lynch making journalists look very silly from the picket line 

‘I’m not a government mouth piece, I’m a human being, I’m a middle aged woman’ what a mad thing to say

It’s so frustrating that Mick has to keep pointing out the facts every bloody time over this.

He said she was spouting a government line, not that she was intelligent enough to recognise it.

I love his contempt for them. I so love it!

Brilliant that the interviewer was caught out spouting the government line and tried to deny it! Well done Mick.

Mick is smarter than the journalist. She will change her mind when the journalists go on strike.

I'm a journalist 😂😂😂😂 Then the panic stuttering sets in....

"You are completely aligned to the government's views" Straight over her head ! Lovely one Mick.

Mick is refreshingly grounded and clear on his objectives. And he’s not wrong either. Literally everything he makes a point about is right!!! The everyday person need to stop being pushed aside to make those in the 1% of wealth and power. More power to this man and his endeavours!!!!

The idea that striking is detrimental to a business is absurd, without workers there is no business. Wages are compensation for labour, if that compensation isn't enough to live on then people will look to redress the balance. Corporations have all the power and treat their workforce with disdain and then expect loyalty for peanuts...

Funny how one working wage could support a mortgage and a family before anti-union and strike legislation...

They do waffle on, to no benefit, perhaps they want the public to lose track of their question. I still see it as promoting the government line, I hope I'm not alone.

He sure hit a raw nerve with that court stenographer from Sky.

Are these recent appearances on TV? I thought the British media had learned their lesson after he demolished every argument made to him on air last year. Surely the journalists themselves understand that if they go toe to toe with Mick he'll make them look like dithering fools.

Solidarity with RMT and everyone striking this week

I support Mick , these journalists don't ask the government questions like this , they make Mick sound like the villain instead .

Both interviewers were spouting government bullshit as Mick lynch said. For the doris to get on her high horse and get upset just shows how she did not like to be caught out. Keep up the fight Mick!

Who needs critical thinking and objective reporting when you can just echo whatever the government wants you to say? I mean, why bother with pesky things like investigating the facts or challenging those in power? Let's just go with the flow and pretend we're doing our job

Said it before, but we really need Mick Lynch in a Labour Cabinet, on the front benches sticking it to the Tories. Love this guy.

Whoever compiled this video is doing gods work. Well done

So a middle aged women can't be a government mouthpiece?

Well said mick , I bet the people asking the questions are not struggling with the cost of living. And I bet there pensions will be more a month than any train worker gets paid for a month.

Bravo Mick, (Steven Flynn and Jeremy Corbyn!) You tell the truth, argue using facts, and address the public directly. Respect.

This is what happens when you get someone of intelligence up against "government mouthpieces". I am old enough to remember the bellicose union leaders of the 60s and 70s. Mick Lynch doesn't come across like that, he uses well reasoned arguments that the MSM can' t handle, and generally speaking the public understand his point even if it does inconvenience them.

They never hold the PLC bosses to account.

Hate to know where this country would be without Mick lynch!!? Legend!

That first woman though...absolute Karen

Go on mick . You have my backing . Keep up the good fight

Mick you're brilliant and we stand with you, power you the workers all workers across the uk and power to our public services. You speak for everyone ✊✌

That fact I know who this guy is and not the people he is negotiating with in itself tells a massive story because it seems like Mick and the workers have to constantly justify everything they do (that’s fine) but the other side are never questioned so vigorously or frequently about the profits they make etc

I wonder why Mick never mentions the railway accidents in the US and holland recently? it's because we have professionals like his members working on our railway keeping them safe. It's a wonder we haven't had a major disaster yet with the private rail system and mismanagment. Solidarity

A lot of customers are on the rail workers side. I’d love to know how disabled folks are going to get about on trains without any staff . My wife has to regularly sit on a platform late at night without any staff and trains being cancelled, it’s a horrible feeling. I’m glad Mick is standing up for the good of the worker’s and passengers . We need a better rail system, it’s still one of the most economical way to get about .

Keep it going Mick. I’m behind all the picketers. #nevercrossapicket

The jubilee line has had delays every morning for the last 5 weeks. I didn’t see any journalist or politician concerned about me getting to work on time then

Still with you Mick 100% ✊🏻 With all Unions & strikers

She asked a question then butted in as soon as he started talking

''' I'm a human being....'' Really? There was me thinking she must be a CGI construct... An A.I SkyNews Avatar. Given the CH4 soundbytes she was venting from her bow-tube, I would never has guessed. 🙄

Love, love love, this man. Intelligent, informed and compassionate. Words this ‘journalist’ needs to look up in the dictionary. NOW

She’s actually quoted Grant Shapps “Don't risk striking yourselves out of a job. Don't pitch yourselves against the public.” June 2022

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. Mark Twain

she played the age and woman card

Great collection of clips, I always enjoy hearing what he has to say

the average worker cant afford to use the railway

Well spoken Mick Lynch. Thank you.

Oh it is so good to see Mick back brilliant

Super mick 🌟

Yeah, Mick Lynch is right, even when they aren’t striking, our railways aren’t fit for service. I sometimes have to travel down to London Euston on the Manchester line, a major railway line, and I have the choice of paying astronomical ticket prices if I travel peak (£300 +), or travelling off-peak (still expensive), and often standing for the whole way because the trains are over-full. And don’t mention the bloody cancellations. Apparently it is even worse if you try to travel east to west, or vice versa. I don’t blame the railway staff, who are trying to make this really crappy system work, and have to bear the brunt of customer complaints. No, I’m angry with the greedy companies who are responsible, the government who think this is acceptable, and these journalists who just parrot the party line.

Maybe you’re just very in tune with what they say 👏🏼🤣👏🏼 brilliant!

great comebacks from mick 👏👍

Jeremy Corbyn and Mick Lynch. Brave warriors both!! Our last line of defence.

Thanks mick you really make my day taking those mouthpieces for the government to task,does the lady commentator think that we can’t hear her espousing the government line .👍👍

The questions asked are disgusting, that woman can bleat on about ‘people I’ve spoken to’ as much as she likes but we all know she’s punting the government line, she works for Murdoch’s sky ffs

the patience of a saint - keep going Mick

'The public just want to get to work' don't speak for me please, I want the strikes to succeed in getting workers paid properly and a rail service that caters for me (I'm disabled)..

Thank you Mick for pointing out how bad things are up north. Trans Pennine in particular is extremely expensive and extremely unreliable.

Shame they dont talk to ministers in the same way and for the times journalist using the words 'your lot' its his members. This government are happy to give the highest paid additional pension benefits but wont give our teachers or nhs staff a pay rise.

I love watching Mick smack down these tory mouth peices time and time again.

Have you noticed how all of these Right-wing mouthpiece journalists now ALWAYS ask Mick protracted/long-winded questions? This questioning technique is most often used under two scenarios; (i) to confuse the interviewee or (ii) it is a sign of fear. Given the incompetence demonstrated by the Shills within this clip, I have no doubt it is the latter. Well done, yet again Mick. ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

She’s in tune with the people she speaks with at the Murdoch cheese and wine night every Friday

Mick knows his subject, unlike the reporters

The one and only Mick should be PM

as someone who only uses the train for leisure purposes and lives in the north west of England I can confirm they are an absolute nightmare. Unreliable to the point where I'm put off planning on doing anything or going anywhere because trannspenine and northern as well as Avanti on the west coast mainline are persistently cancelling trains minutes before they are due. At least when its a strike day you can plan around it happening. They constantly hike the prices, the service has gotten worse and yet they continue to operate with ridiculous profits.

I absolutely love Mick Lynch. He's a stalwart of the rail industry. Right wing journalists try to discredit him but he comes back time after time with reasoned arguments and makes them look stupid. Keep up the good work Mr Lynch. Your union and a sizable amount of the public support your cause and are right behind you.

The journalists (and I use that term loosely) are pedalling the nonsense from the government and train companies. Maybe some of them would do well to use the trains over a period of time and then they might understand what Mick and his collegues are up against. I guess it will also need their bosses to not be pressuring them to not criticise the government or big business. I needed to get from Upminster to Exeter yesterday during the strike on the underground. And I'm partially disabled. I went to the overground station and used the ticket office and also got advice from the human beings there. I've always found the railway staff very helpful. At Fenchurch Street I had to walk to Liverpool Street, which I can manage at my own pace. And again I asked the staff at Liverpool Street for advice. I then took the Elizabeth Line to Paddington and the excellent GWR service to Exeter. One aside - I carry an air quality monitor with me and it always warns me of the poor air quality inside the train once it switches to diesel to complete the SW part of the journey, as they haven't electrified the rail network in the South West. So we get poisoned by diesel fumes on the platforms and in the trains. I worry for the staff as they are exposed for far longer periods to this carcinogenic pollution than the passengers. Sadly I didn't see any pickets on my travels as i would have liked to show them my support. I hope they can hold out and win for all our sakes.

Mick Lynch, is a legend. Love taht fella😉

What does her being middle aged or a woman have to do with following a government line or not? Imagine if she actually agreed with Mick on this, i mean she can do that and also be a journalist? Obviously they would never allow her to do that.

He sure doesn't waste time going straight for the jugular.

And i thought our press here in Germany is garbage.....🤔💀🤦

Keep doing what you do Mr Lynch! 👍

3:20 Oh really, the motivation of the train companies is not to make money, its just to make the trains better, come of it? Seriously? Have you looked up what company means?

Supporting Mick Lynch and ALL the striker's ✊ Enough is Enough ✊

Not a government mouthpiece...so why is she sitting behind a desk that says Westminster?

Just like the late and clever Sir Clive Sinclair and very intelligent Labour Mick Lynch 🏆✔

Truth teller

It's so damned frustrating to see journalists quite ignorant of what is being done to our Railways. By shaving off employees constantly they will end up with automatic trains with no human involvement either on the trains or at stations and cancellable whenever they wish so driving passengers away. Just imagine how vulnerable a young woman could be in a moving train when no windows or doors could be opened to a predatory male with no staff at all on board. Just a perfect recipe for disaster. Thankyou government and stop attacking Mick Lynch.

Mick is our own Jen Psaki - unflappable and informed. Don't know how he does so well under attack. Some "journalists" really see raising their voice as an achievement. Such egotistical people.

Go on Mick ! All you and your members every success !!!

It’s the Muppet show. Well done Mick ❤

Go Mick Lynch. Don't give them an inch!

100% Mick

Mick as usual you're tying these people in knots keep going you are a legend of a man when it comes to doing the job for your members

He's brilliant

Let's see what happens when some of these journalists and reports start losing their jobs, pensions and working conditions, as is the case at The Daily Mail as we speak. 🤷🏻‍♂

Christ they just won't stop trying to talk over him, their ego just can't handle ideas that challenge their own

He talks sense and I am so glad he mentioned buses too. If you are not in London getting anywhere is hideous

The way they are making cars too expensive for the majority the train service will be more in demand than ever. Reducing safety and maintenance staff whilst not having enough operatives so they all have to work overtime.

A king amongst men.

I think that first interviewer kind of shot herself in the foot with how she conducted herself. Whether it's true or not, acting that offended when someone says you are a government mouthpiece... kinda makes you look and sound like a government mouthpiece

Bravo Mick - good on you!! More strikes please - the more the merrier?!

Keep striking. 100% behind you. Cuts for decades has broken the UK. I've lived it!

Mick lynch for PM

Wages enough for workers to provide security for their families and a reliable rail service, secure enough for those families to travel on, should be the guiding light.

lol methinks she doth protest too much.

I do think journalists should be allowed to take this hard tack approach, so that prepared people like Mick can smash it down and show it for what it is.

Solidarity to mick and our brilliant workers sorry to all the right wing media who have no idea what they are talking about

Touched a nerve there, I think 😆

Can anyone imagine being married to her…..she can’t keep her mouth shut for two seconds. Well if that’s an example of a middle-aged female human being then I’m pretty damn glad I’m a middle-aged male human being whose living on his own and can come and go as he pleases. God help her husband/ wife !!

He just BURIES these "journalists" its glorious everytime 😂

I'd rather people had jobs and paid taxes than have automation that benefits only the shareholders/corporations who undoubtedly avoid it. 'Tis why we're so fucked - money's getting sucked out of the system and stashed away. Capitalism is eating itself but it's too greedy to realise. And when everything's automated and AI, what's that going to do for unemployment figures and what will happen to wages? Who will be left to buy/use their crap?

Go Mick!✊poor bloke must get sick of answering these silly questions.
