Mick Lynch on Huw Edwards, press regulation and rail strikes 

they have their language from you....

The MSM needs destroying! He is probably 1 of maybe 2 or 3 people, who could rally enough people to Destroy the MSM!

​@@Arltratlowow. Really?!

Wouldn’t you want to know if someone in high power was a predator?

@anonomous8719 a news presenter and an elected politician are two totally different levels of accountability.

You forgot to mention the 300 days annual leave and free first class air travel anywhere in the world Bob. Not bad for just pressing a button and pulling a lever.

why... a Tory will be never use it...

So people buy tickets on line mmmmm

@@DOCTORDROTT mmmm and not every one is computer savvy like disabled who don't always have carers and elderly and others what's easy for you may not be easy for others and alot of people feel reassured haveing ticket offices in ase they have any concerns as well about Thier journey

So unite with the right, to abolish the license fee and force the BBC to go subscription.

​@@Nickle314Unite with the right? Yeah, when Hell freezes over.

@@Nickle314 lol the right cancelled the Levison inquiry. They are the reason the media is like it is.

@@Nickle314 We need public service broadcasting as well as functioning public services - including transportation. Otherwise we end up with The Sun and Avanti... neither of them are working for me or you. Supporting them is simply bare-faced, right-wing, wongheaded ideology triumphng over sense. Madness!

@@M_Bamboozled Why not? The left complain the BBC is right wing. Why don't you want it wipped out?

Did she smell of ammonia and old teabags

HAHAHA good joke - do you really believe Story party is interested in normal people or are they more interetsed in Donors and richies ?? let us guess together !!

well done you did well-while others were selfish gits you showed honour

Eloquently said & I think I can say with some amount of certainty that you reflect what most people of the country feel in your comment. Love your "handle" too. I use to be a Raleigh rascal too in my younger days being a proud owner of a red Raleigh Chopper. Those informative years how I miss them.

It's strange though how many working class elderly people voted for bojo!

They shouldn't even need to be a lifesaver anyway. I find the notion of going around threatening to wipe out every service horrible to begin with. Why? Keep it anyway, it's a good thing don't get rid of it. Don't boil things down all the time, build them up. But you're also completely right of course and it is a lifesaver.

I avoid trains and train stations where there is no ticket office. I once lost money in a machine and because it was late at night there was nobody there to refund me. I didn't get the ticket I needed to continue my journey and I was instructed by a sign on the machine to phone a number during office hours. I appreciate that there are now apps etc that can be used, but i'm strictly old school.

..For many people they are 'Travel Offices'...places they can plan their, possibly, very long journeys

more reasons for Tories to close them, there is no real purpose for helping people in need!

they should bring back blacksmiths into london central for the 1 or 2 luddites they still ride horses too, nothing worse than when your horse throws a shoe in harley street

The reason being that this government has a totally different agenda having a massive 80 seat majority they know they can do precisely what they want and they do.This majority was given to them by working class people in the north for one reason only and they reneged on it. I just hope that the working classes of Britain remembered how they were cheated and repaid for the next 100 years.

....I was just thinking the same thing. He's a man who knows how to string actual sentences together!

I don't remember everyone's coming out and calling the press a disgrace when they exposed Jimmy Savile.

Because so many ignorant fools voted for them.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Yes, unmanned stations will quickly become safe havens for drug dealers, sexual predators waiting for vulnerable people going on/disembarking from trains, hang out dens for all sorts.

The Scum paper

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And he voted for bojo, he wanted brexit done!

Usually like what he has to say but on this he's talking horse manure. UK has always had adversarial press and it's only in recent times of creeping authoritarianism that people want it silenced. Not a coincidence.

My goodness, the world is going to hell in a handcart when Mick Lynch starts making sense!

He supported Huw Edwards so no he's not talking sense FFS 😂

Well said.👏

Unfortunately the Conservatives will live on through Starmer

He a socialist who voted for bojo! And who we got waiting in the wings TORY STARMER!

How many day's wages has your top union man lost during the strikes . Let me guess NONE

@@LondonW4 I kind of agree with you.I’d have preferred to have had Angela Raynor leading the Labour Party or if he’d been an MP, Mick Lynch himself.Starmer seems like a wet lettuce,a drip,a Tory in disguise.He just doesn’t fill me with confidence at all.And he’s started U Turning on policies,like the tuition fees.And when he gets grilled by political presenters,he sits there wide eyed and looking like he has something to hide.I detest the Tories and this present lot in particular,but I just wish Labour had a proper leader in charge.A STRONGER LEADER.I dread to think if Labour win the next General Election what the right wing media will do to Starmer if things go wrong on his watch.You get the likes of that arsehole,Daily Mail journalist,Andrew Pierce,constantly calling him names on GOOD MORNING BRITAIN and saying he’s boring.It’s journalists like this that’ll make Starmer’s life a misery.

Correct on everything except Brexit. I'll still stand behind him on everything else, though.

BTW - Food and energy are NOT counted towards the inflation rate !!!!

@@seemymobot4987well said 🫡

It's ironic that mick voted for bojo , he wanted brexit done.

@@DrMontagueHe didn’t vote for Johnson’s Brexit -and you know it. Lynch’s Brexit was a different kind Brexit from that of the rich Tories in the Shires. I don’t remember the devastated mining communities and heavy industry getting massive subsidies from the EU. As someone who voted Remain it need reforming rather like Corbyn’s Remain and Reform. It was becoming slightly to much of a gravy train for some extremely rich individuals.

He has an agenda, or rather two. The welfare of his members and society in general.

the agenda is clear

So you want sexual predators off the hook? 🤡

Are you serious backing a pervert

If it was a tory, he wouldn't be so kind .

huw threaten them to meet and fuck though

The media is a capitalist media, they are there to brainwash the working classes, and they have done a good job, even mick lych voted bojo!

Why, in a democratic country where less than 2percent of people are in favour of unmanned railway stations are we having unmanned railway stations? Let's take back control! Get rid of these profiteering private companies who care not a button for us and our needs.

I just wish more people could see that instead of slavishly supporting the Tory party.

well, he was a brexit supporter

@@StanleyKubick1So what ? So did 51% of people who voted ( including him). Remoaner !

@@StanleyKubick1irrelevant. Brexit is over and done now. the only people who want to reignite a full blown political debate over it are Tories to distract from their abysmal failings in government.

Tell the truth , expose the liars , free speech is hugely important as a fundamental right of civilisation .

​@@StanleyKubick1that's not a skeleton, that was free choice . Not a reason to disrespect , now if the government had pulled it's finger out and Stimulated trade everything would have been gravy , but the old network still wants it's hand outs

? All she did was ask him easy questions that allow him to spout his propaganda, and hasn't asked him any hard questions or challenged any of his answers, even when he calls HER, i.e. "the press", a disgrace. Embarrassing.🤦

​@@moodyb2What would you have liked her to ask?

@@moodyb2 It's the tories that are embarrassing and a disgrace.

​@@moodyb2you really need to get a braincell. If really soft interviews just look a the BBC give any Tory politician.

Softball questions from ideologically-aligned characters. If this is "real journalism" you're welcome to it.

thatchers diabolical privatisation legacy. its only beneficial to corrupt corporate parasites and greedy Conservative cronyism scandalous.

Most of those huge profits they take home come from government subsidies. 👎

We need to pretty much re nationalise all the previously owned public services.

Interested in hearing what you disagree with him about. Have a look at a few more of his interviews, there’s a lot review

Go get your booster.

@@Scum-jd7pmgo get a brain

He may of been in favour of Brexit but he didn’t want to leave the single market and customs union because that would be just stupid and after looking into it I don’t think he was wrong to believe Britain should have it’s own sovereignty and the power to say no and I totally agree with him on staying in the single market and customs agreement.

Ve have vays to make him change his mind on ze Brexit Bollocks.

@@timwoodger7896I doubt very much if Mick Lynch was a fan of Mrs Thatcher’s single market.

Rebalancing years of imbalance by the same government. Good for him!

lol you clown

It's ironic Mick voted for bojo!

@@DrMontague I very much doubt it . Being in favour of Brexit and voting for Johnson are two different things . Sadly ( not in Mick's case I believe ) many people voted Tory for Brexit and ignoring the fact a Tory Gvt would be worse for him .

them

_I think that is a very respectable stance to take there. We seemingly lose the ability to have amicable discourse._

You’re a beneficiary of Trade Union struggle. You don’t agree with a fairer society-great-is it any wonder as a country we continue to race to the bottom

@@NowhereNewsman _And then there are people like yourself, bless you._

What he fails to tell you was the state of the nationalised railways with the likes of mick lynch's union calling strikes about anything look back in history and see the state of union britain in the 70's

@@NowhereNewsman I care what I agree with. thanks for asking.

pmsl

PM you mean

Wouldn’t make any difference as this management government has done that much damage it will be a long long time to put it right, an people would want it to happen sooner than later.

Spot on. He shows up most politicians for the charlatans they really are.

You seem to be requesting that those who we have given power to ( private companies) which are driven by the profit motive stop being driven by the profit motive and instead serve the n eeds of ordinary people ! That's absurd!

@@ianoliver3130 I believe you've misinterpreted my statement. There is absolutely nothing wrong with companies making a profit; businesses wouldn't survive without doing so. My point is that certain people in power lack honesty, empathy, and rationale at times. I see a society where the rich-poor divide is increasing. This has a negative impact on people's well-being, thus putting a greater strain on our already underfunded and under-pressure NHS, for example. I encourage entrepreneurship and innovation; our country has always pioneered in various fields. However, I'm sure most would agree: let's strive for a fairer society. I certainly wish that, especially for future generations to come.

@@paulofarrier capitalism and empathy/fairness are polar opposites! All the major innovations of the last century were achieved using public money - from NASA to the internet to smart phones to transistors ,micro chips, touch screen technology even teflon. Private companies just piggyback on these public innovations and develop them rob us. The astra venaca vaccine was even discovered at Oxford university and funded by the tax payer

Not true, it's £5 million.

​@cupguin also not true. £6.4 million

Absolutely correct.If all union leaders were like him then employees wouldn't get stitched up in the way this government wants.

Go on then. Show us how it's done.

Time to send all commoners to Australia to leave us Brits in peace you mean!

@@Darren-fm3pe Brits? what Brits? all I see are a bunch of lost Saxon krauts. The real native inhabitants of these islands are Gaelic-Celtic.

Lead on , let's put some union back into the flag

S A senior union official with morals don't make me laugh. I'm sure he's doing all this hard work for the minimum wage. 99% of people haven't a clue where their pension funds are invested his pension pot is probably more than you'll earn in a life time. He would have got a low % mortgage rate through the union. All expenses paid. Your a fool if thinks about anyone outside of the union bubble. A persona to keep the public blind sided to support wage rises that 99% of the private sector can only dream of🤦

​@@ianlaker6980well you've made me laugh. Passing judgement on somebody with absolutely no idea who they are? I'll put money on that you don't even understand how unions work.

​@@ianlaker6980you write as if his working conditions and pension arrangements are a secret. Ask him.

If he had morals, he wouldn't be backing a man who has abused those who are young and vunerable.

Go and learn stuff.

@ashleygraham8781 never far from a dumb Tory

​@@ewoodrailwayNor ignorant lefties who don't know how things work. Jog on.

​@waltersobchak1719Your dad would have ran the station on his own for a shilling a month.

@waltersobchak1719 with appropriate levels of service and relevant safety practices, of course. You've probably got shares in an operator. Classic Tory.

@waltersobchak1719 hopefully he's brighter than you.

@waltersobchak1719 what a boot-licker!!! Taking sides against the people that do the work and generate the income in favour of greedy executives and sharholders is a pretty rum affair!!!

Don't think he'd take a wage cut.

@@hardlines2635 . He earns £84,000 per year, considerably less than the PM. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a slur comment.

..i wish every politician was like him!

@waltersobchak1719Dinosaurs were around for a hell of a long time.

He could be a politician, and probably a decent one, but he's a trades union leader, not a politician. Maybe he has more sense than than to stand as an MP.
