Just Mick Lynch terrorising Tory MPs and dismantling the anti-strike bill in a Select Committee 

Do you keep cutting this half way through so it repeats the same points over and over again ?

Well yeh, of course it's MORE expensive now than then!! 👍🏾 Now, we've also gotta carry the weight of paying off, the Billionaire class, who are now sitting on top of the corrupt political class & the management/administration class...

It's worse than that. Most experts reckon we're spending four times in real terms what we spent on the railways pre privatisation.

The Conservatives are not the ones going wrong and along with Mick, not the ones losing pay.

It always looks easy when you tell the truth

He has the facts and tell them like it is.

someone please wipe that smirk off his face.

​@@denzel270 have you seen the faces of Hancock, Raab, Patel, Braverman and Sunak? They are Dictionary definitions of smug smirks

Absolutely. After years of watching where money flows and under what conditions, a conclusion might be reached that a wrecked country is simply easier to loot. Mick Lynch and more like him understand the issues, both currently and historically, and are making it clear just who the wrecking crew is.

I'll let you in on a little secret; no Tory policy is based on sound economic thinking. Not even one.

They are fine with that though, cause the money goes to their rich mates and not the workers. They have to avoid fair wages for workers at all costs to keep their ‘superiority’.

@@jonsmith5058 True. Money represents Status to some, so plundering public funds, whilst gleefully withholding them for the proles is a big thrill for them.

£30MILLION A DAY

Trying to cling on to power, even going so far as to disenfranchise people. Every other word out of their mouth is "freedom" and "freedom of speech" yet they've done their utmost to curb freedoms and silence any opposition to their way of thinking.

Holding onto the tail of a tiger, and spinning rapidly . . . you cool? 😎

@@beachcomber2008 i dunno it's spinning wildly down here

The Democrats are waging coups and wars and inditing people for arguing for peace (10 year jail threat) . What are you doing?

I’m outside the UK looking on on everything going on and it’s baffling…it’s like a drama show it’s madness , you swear it was being screen played by HBO

Titus a true people’s man

Not another Brexiteer, please.

@@hovefactually7505 The complete opposite,but I do admire knowledge of a situation and honesty.

😂😂😂😂😂

​@@hovefactually7505 huh wtf?😂😂

its not a particularly difficult challenge though it is?

He outclasses most politicians but he does not play into the Tories hands (and the media). He really is a breath of fresh air.

Yep he is upper class but Tories think the reverse

But WHY are they still there?

Conservatives have NO class. They had one job.... decided to rob is instead. These conservatives should be in front of a judge and jury.

But I am an age that remembered what happened with Triumph motorcycles and Leyland ,they had some slick union negotiators in their Unions ,but like many other British unions they priced themselves out of a job .At the time I worked in the biggest foundry in Europe in Sheffield as a Engineers Union rep. and the people above kept saying "it"s O.K. we will win" and the company sold to an American business and the main man came to the factory ,stood on some steps and told us straight - "are you going back or shall I close the place down"? and the place is now Meadowhall Shopping Center ?. My eldest son worked at Keeton"s steel in Sheffield ,similar story ,but the longest strike in history which lasted over 7 years ,they closed that place too ! . Railway tickets are already at a silly price ,so you can bet ,in a few years our Railways will be so much scrap metal . Will Mick Lynch still be revered - then ?.

@@yorkiegilly4355maybe you should blame the bourgeosie and not the striking workers? You can see that they’ll do anything to avoid workers owning their own workplaces!

@@yorkiegilly4355also there’s no way that rail can just be replaced by other modes! People travel rail to avoid the hassle and pollution other forms bring. And no one’s gonna hop on a plane, like the US’s local flights as its not economical. The companies have artificially inflated train prices!

Good man! I'm just an old fart, but I'm with you, as, I am sure, are the general public. I've never seen such an erosion of our liberties than under this government. Please run for P.M.! 👍

@@skysurferuk Good man Sky I am with you on this. By the way, this old fart knows there is no such thing as "Just an old fart"Good man Sky. Together we can beat them!

@@skysurferuk They really aren't ask someone in the tourist industry how they feel about Mick.

​@@denzel270 😂😂😂😂😂😂there's always one

So is the general public when they can't get a train because of strikes.

I honestly stand with Mick and Unions in general but the fact he STILL thinks Brexit was a good idea blows my mind considering its directly affect his union!

he has integrity

They are plenty smart but they don't play for Labour, they work for Capital.

Mick is a legend and would make the greatest PM and turn this country around, but instead we have rich, arrogant, out of touch Tories stealing from the poor to feed the rich..

​@@stefanc4520 there was a left wing case for leaving the EU. Unfortunately all the bad actors were in charge during and after

Along with my cat.

He's a moron determined to ruin the country. Rail workers already earn more than they are worth

😂😂😂😂

Yeah, how to destroy the economy so a few greedy well paid rail workers can have their way.

Amen

I stand with HM The King.

@Stephen Baxter Chuck da t'urd, wouldn't let you anywhere near him. You're just a face in his crowd, and a mere pleb.

​@@stephenwabaxter What's that got to do with anything? This government aren't working in the best interests of the Royal Family or Britain... Just themselves

I too stand with His Royal Mickesty the Lynchking

Yes, so am I sure...No doubt at all.

What a great idea.

But was he born in a toolbox? Was his father a pebble dashed semi? Can he do senisble centrist things forensically?

You would be behind in the polls.

They's strom in!

@@BENTWOONEZERO no chance

Yeah they’re not the conservatives they’re the SELFservatives

The unions are greedy.

Yep, they put a price on everything but a value on nothing.

Same with Labour. Look beyond the two party system

The tories have destroyed our country.

Michael Mouse; Ain't that the truth.

Ain’t going to happen. He’s too intelligent.

The media would never allow it

Instead we have people like James Cleverly.

Well there is Rees-Mogg for a start.

Too much of an imaginative leap for me, I’m afraid.

But he supported Brexit and still thinks it is a good idea!!!!!

@@davidforbes2795That’s not his field of expertise, so his opinion on that doesn’t matter.

@@davidforbes2795 Why does that matter?

@Magic Steve It's just a "squirrel".

@Magic Steve Because brexit is the greatest act of self-harm this country has committed and has had and will have a devastating effect on the lives of working people. That's why it matters!!!

It's as though they're children, just fucking around with things.

Yes, it's quite eye opening.

Correct

Which is a delicious irony considering how much they lionise the private sector. But after being an MP they can’t get jobs outside of dinner speeches, financial lobbying, and other such jobs which just require talking at fancy meals rather than office work

They hop from place to place, never lasting long anywhere, but once you're at a certain level you stay there regardless of incompetence.

80s Music; It's more concerning that there is little solidarity between people (except for our 'betters' ofc). Instead there is more division than ever and it works, just how the Tories and the rest of the Establishment have manipulated it - for centuries, not just the past 44 years. Only people, en masse, can make a difference by standing up for each other so, probably won't happen in my lifetime but that's no excuse not to try and keep trying.

@@secondtimearound2539 I have believed in solidarity for most of my 53 years but I see no point any more in that it is like pushing water uphill and those that the left wants to help often do not want that support, instead choosing to believe the lies and propaganda of the right via (anti) social media and the right wing press. The problems do go beyond the last forty three years without doubt but the pernicious effects of neoliberalism as a tool to widen and entrench inequality in the interests of the rich are the result of a systematic policy that is an ideological crusade to wipe out any alternative political positions that do not accord with its precepts. Plurality of thought is the enemy of neoliberalism- it is just as dogmatic as adherence to communism was in the twentieth century. The workers have been sold out by the Labour Party, most of the unions and each other. Thatcher converted Labour to neoliberalism and described 'new' Labour as her greatest achievement. We are living in the dystopian future the left predicted in the 1980s- the tragedy is that she was right in her claim about Labour.

Since when was it like this under blair why are you bringing blair into this argument .this is the tory guv .labour said they would reverse in fact if they were in now then all this shit wouldn't be happening anyway

A baboon wearing a blue rosette could get elected in a safe Tory seat.

They’re paid not to understand

They are hoping he will tire out with all the questioning

They’re educated to be corrupt.

Many of them exist inside little bubbles of privilege and have never struggled a day in their lives.

Sadly unlike both sides of the isle.

I saw a Mick Lynch interview last year he explained the government made that practice illegal years ago

That's already against the law over here sadly

@@olliegrant205 when they make striking illegal, its time to break some laws frankly.

same applies to the protest bill

​@@att6484 it's time to break some windows......

Imagine him instead of PM Sunak.

Their doing it, not considering it.

Brexit showed that politicians don't have to convince the nation, they just have to convince a few right wing journalists who will gladly beat the drum for years, driving the narrative ignoring reality. Whether it's brexit, protest rights, personal freedom, trans rights, climate denialism etc.

See, if you hadn't voted to Leave we could the government in front of the ECJ. But you lot thought to know better! And the UKSC is worthless and toothless.

Well they’ve gotten away with murder,robbery so this is a piece of cake to them. We could stop all this shit they come up with if we all wanted to. But that won’t happen because everyone will just walk around shuffling there feet moaning.they can and will do anything they want because we let them!

Then we all strike.

Rees Mogg mentions very often the word snowflakes he is very much a snowflake and would stand no chance be it verbal or knowledge with Mick. Mick would enjoy a game of English dictionary with him.

@@lindacurrie8817 Absolutely. A measure of Rees-Mogg was his crowing over getting one of the longest words in the Oxford English Dictionary into Hansard. Cannot recall the word but it went something like floxynoxycillification or something equally nonsensical. The guy who pushed for Brexit only to repatriate his hedge fund into Europe 😂. Yet some still refuse to believe what a self-serving hypocrite he is.

I remember the flying pickets 🙂

@@cdean2789 Yes, not 'Only You', a wide repertoire!

Free movement from the European Union was a wetdream for big business and the oil 🛢 for the Gig Economy

it wasn't your fault, we were all brainwashed at the time!

@@silondon9010 dont get me wrong, the EU was a capitalist economic union. but free travel and other benefits that were bestowed upon us by the EU were valuable things to have.

Free movement would make strike action pointless, as there would be a ready supply of people to replace the strikers.

I don't see how his position on brexit has any bearing on what he says on this subject. Mick Lynch wasn't responsible for the absolute horror show that was the referendum or the subsequent c0ck-up by government of all the details of taking us out. You might just as well say "I'd support Mick Lynch if only he wasn't bald."

He earns more money, but no one is bothered about that

@@johnou.k.3780 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Do your homework and check out the second and third “jobs” that MPs on both sides are doing. Many serving vested interests too.

@@Andyreally good luck to them, that’s what you lefties don’t like people with money, stop benefits for those who can work

@@johnou.k.3780 than who?

@@johnou.k.3780. So tell us exactly how much he earns, o wise one.

Agree with you. Mick is the man with many years of experience and yet he has to endure this onslaught of Torie questions from MPs that could not lace his shoes. Mick has to school them every time but they never listen he knows Tories are looking for openings to destroy unions not work with them.

Mum O; A week? More like a year, minimum, with no access to their old bank accounts or rich friends. Jermey *unt, the current Chancellor (sickening isn't it)

Ross Davison; Everyone in the country should take time out now and again to watch Select Committees, but most would rather watch pap served up by the Beeb etc and take no notice of what's happening (then a lot of them vote Tory or don't bother 🤷)

Sadly, you are correct.

👍👍👍

P O LEFTY TAWT

​@@johnou.k.3780 300+ ranting comments on this channel alone. Get outside and find a hobby Johno, the weather's getting warmer

@@Jonbombs get a job , like decent people, not bloody striking like this waster wants everyone to do

@@johnou.k.3780 gammon

Working class hero. A voice for workers is very much required and Mick and others carry that torch. Wonderful to watch Mick in action against the heinous powers that be.

Yeah. Whatabouttism from a Tory Troll.

@@ai-d2121 you think I’m a Tory Troll…? Like what…? I hate the Tories, what the fuck are you on about?

It is incorrect to assume that Unions are always necessary.

When working people want to be treated fairly, history suggests that unions are absolutely necessary* I've been very lucky in my career in that I have worked for some good companies, and decent managers/owners - even so, I would support union representation for all levels of workers because I think it can be beneficial in good times, and in bad (if done properly)

John Clark; Yes, that was disgraceful but not unexpected. Shows the lack of care thse criminals have for our country and its people.

Yes. All stand for Sir Lynch.

Mugs

He does, but I fear he would have less impact if he did.

@@Billywoo12 You're probably right, unfortunately. Eddie Dempsey too, hilarious the way he made the old toad Widdecombe clutch her pearls in horror when he answered her back during a TV interview.
