some of us lived through the Union run years of the 1970's wasn't nice, especially if you didn't want to be pushed around by some Union bully boy

⁠@@heathercooper6043I lived in the 1970s If there were union bully boys that because members were lazy about turning up to meetings and voting them out. My dad organised fellow workers and hustled them along to a meeting and voted out the bullies by the time he retired all was great. After he left the bullies came back because nobody turned up to keep them out. Don’t blame unions blame lazy workers who don’t service democracy.

​​@@heathercooper6043without the unions of old, people would still be worked to death, abused, exploited and grovelling for bits of cake. Now the unions are weakened we're going back to that with sanctions on poorer people, zero hours contracts, fire and rehire, lack of decent housing and disintegration of public services.

Unions are fundamentally a good thing and balance the power of the corporate arm of any industry. We have the rights we do because of union actions. By working together and turning up together we can affect change.

@@djstucAlso these selfish people forget there were no weekends,holiday or sick pay or even a pension, people demonstrated and were arrested put in prison and even shot for striking just so we could have these conditions.

I genuinely could not agree more.

He's Minister of Transport in my fantasy cabinet

And we want Reform UK in, for a very long time.

@@daryllportas8453 Nah.

Hell yeah, but I think he should standby trade union obligations.

In theory yes but in reality? I would include all transport under one umbrella. The cost of transport should be free to all, subsidised by tax.

I think people miss the point with rail nationalization. It is happening whether any one likes it or not. The private companies running rail are folding and the government has to take it over-then it becomes apparent this is less costly than private subsidy so even the Tories don't want to put it for tender. You cannot stop rail nationalization any more than you can stop the tide.

But back Britain 🇬🇧 compulsory purchase orders on all foreign owned public transport, infrastructure and energy companies. Take it back. We need someone who will put their foot down against these money spinning super rich.

​@@archvaldorin a sane world this would also apply to the water companies.

That will mean another stealth tax. A tax burden for everyone, to benifit a few. That will be packed in like sardines, because there's not enough rolling stock.

Better than Scargill

Agreed Ive seen him been ambushed time and time again but never lost a debate.

dont be fooled he only lining his own pocket he wants to take the country back to queuing to buy bread back in the 80s

Galloway is a great orrator. He makes absolute drivel sound amazing.

I prefer it when he stops.

@@williamsulman2646we all prefer it when you stop as well. funny that.

The ex comdity trader whos more in touch with the working class than the union leader? He's terrified of him!

Of a train maybe. It's only a lever, push it forward to make it go. Backwards to make it stop. That's about his level.

@@williamsulman2646 You've had an awful lot to say on this thread and miss the point completely. The reason why you and your Father had a decent working life is all on the back of the unions.

@@boota1979 It's odd that someone who says he works hard spends all his time on you tube isn't it?

@@mobsiesixsixsix9785 Very odd indeed!

@@williamsulman2646 If that's how you think trains work then you really are a bit simple.

Such a prat, lol.

Well said

Oh found a tory

@@annenunney9907 Nah, it's the same tired old nonsense. Vote Reform UK and get the change Britain needs.

​@@daryllportas8453I'd rather not vote in a bunch of racists. They've already found 2 candidates that they've dropped, and I'm sure many more will show up.

Yes, but he's also way more competent than most of them too.

Honest? Like 70 grand a year train drivers need more money to live? How many people on zero hours or self employed struggled to feed their family's because the trains have been on strike?

Voting for a new master doesn't make you free.

@@adamadams9517 Well a representative, what is your alternative?

@@adamadams9517tf u talking about you weirdo

@@adamadams9517”wake up sheeple” type beat 😂😂 hush now

@@RobertJones-ku4fg A representative? No, we have a group of people that command for each of us to bow down and serve them; by requiring us to do this, and forbidding us to do that; by robbing each of us money as often as they find it for their interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding us as a rebel, a traitor, or an enemy to our country, and using another group of thugs in uniform to attack us without mercy, if we dare dispute their authority, or resist their demands. As for the alternative, whatever must rest wholly on voluntary support.

He should stand for a reform seat and get things moving.

@@user-wj7cv9hb5j Reform... HHAHAHA give up on that moron Farage.

@@user-wj7cv9hb5j Don't think ever join a party headed by Farage 😂 Would have to be Labour or Independent

@@joenichols4580 it was a joke 😊

​@@user-wj7cv9hb5j Nope.

As said, you can't delegate rights you do not have.

Me too

I would like him to shut up and learn about politics.

Oh found a tory

Has he ever said if he would run? I would definitely vote for him.

You can't delegate rights you don't have.

@@daryllportas8453complete idiot here. Clearly you’re a tory

I agree with you, but he is a politician, in that he is an elected representative. And a reasonable role model to how politicians should behave.

@@bestbehave Like blaming Ukrainians for being invaded by Russian fascists?

I'm a self employed working class man so definitely a worker and I'm going to vote reform like everyone else like me.

​@@williamsulman2646Reform won't get in. And thank god they won't.

A PR system is the way ahead for Westminster but the Labour and Tory benefit from first past the post so won't give it.

Where has Mick Lynch ever implied he thinks Western Europe is stupid? Just because someone does not support a cartel of European based corporations does not mean they can’t think one voting system is better than the other.

@@maxpowerii7368 He has said a few times previously that he doesn't support PR because he thinks it would allow small far right parties to prosper. My response to that would be : Hello? Have you seen our government lately? Or the Republicans in America? That doesn't seem to be a PR problem. As to being anti-EU, that's a separate issue, that most people seem to no longer agree with him on.

​@@nathanaelsmith3553so he's scared of farage then. The ex comdity trader who's more in touch with the working class than the union boss? For context I'm a groundworker.

@@williamsulman2646 Possibly in some places. My personal belief is that FPTP encourages a toxic political environment where parties are encouraged to undermine and trash talk each other, whereas PR more encourages the positive formulation of policy. This is because with a winner takes all system all you have to do to win is make people scared of your opponents whereas with PR they can still pick up second or third preference votes. I think PR encourages politicians to work harder to come up with real solutions because they instead have to attract us more with things we actually want. I personally won't vote for a candidate who isn't local or whose party doesn't support PR. I don't know where Farage stands on PR but, regardless of his views, if I lived in Clacton I wouldn't vote for him because he's not local and has publicly said that he doesn't really like being there. I would question his commitment to the local area and his sincerity.

And your subsidized by the rest of the UK.

​@@BENTWOONEZEROThat old lie again....... Yawn...... It gets really boring

@@peterscott2395 How much do you raise in tax , how much do you spend, were does the other money come from ?

@@BENTWOONEZERO I'm not privy to the actual numbers, nobody actually is but I suspect that the pocket money we're given is a pale shadow of what we raise. Please learn to stand on your on 2 feet although I'd imagine this will be a difficult transition considering the past 3 hundred years of settler colonism.......

Especially vote for Count Binface

Vote Reform UK! Everywhere!!!

Vote Reform ❤

the air is fresh and invigorating if you are close to binface it lacks the smell from the other polical parties , sadly he isnt standing locally , but the green party are

Exactly. Completely shallow individual.

Spot on

Vote reform

​@@JackGreen-gh6sw No.

💯💯💯

A lot of people want Britain to be a communist state, thankfully there’s many more people who aren’t idiots

One that promotes the needs of people on 70 grand and tells them to strike during a cost of living crisis which will lead to people not being able to get to work to earn the money they need? Yeah sounds like the modern labour party.

Who can go wherever they want. They have been and are moving abroad on mass because there taxes are high

@@williamsulman2646 the ultra rich pay FAR lower % tax than the rest of us do

Perhaps he could take a cut in his wages to start with.......

@@carolewynn9407 How many years could he work for before his wage matches the 500 million Rishi has spent on Rwanda? Or what about the 50 billion in corrupt PPE contracts? What about the 10 billion for the tainted blood scandal?

@@dreamcrusher112 If you look at his earnings, his house etc , no different from those in power. Fighting for the working man whilst living an elite life, the irony....

The reason there's no money for services is because it's being handed out to the 500,000 immigrants coming per year. They arnt coming here because they are rich, they are coming with little expecting to improve their life via freeloading

​@@philipdouglas5911so you prefer the big business makes extra profits off their workers rather than the workers who voted for it?

​@@jamesprice4647got me more money in my dangerous job building sewers that you rely on every day?

He was pretty critical of Labour in this interview tbh - You will see people like Lynch become very vocal once they're in power - don't want to sabotage the election.

Massive unfunded economic changes that blow Truss out of the water, and leaving the only military alliance that stops WW3? Yeah great....

Yes, I agree. Astonished no one has seen the similarly between the WPB manifesto and what Mick is calling for/identifying.

Those that need rulers are unfit to choose them, and those that want to rule are unfit to do so.
