"Communists should support Arthur Henderson in the same way the rope supports the hanged man" (from Lenin's "Leftism, an infantile disorder...)

adapted from lenin, talking about supporting elected parlimentary 'socialists'. Support them for the meantime, but overthrow them eventually

hancock s the reason this countrys fu..ed

sammughal69 : he is on every Friday evening. On talkRADIO. It great.🙏🏻

@msec Ses I guess that makes you the perfect.....just fill in the dots, moron

I completely agree they should be given the right to both strike and have a decent wage. But that should not come at the expense of other people’s livelihoods. But one thing that would help train workers would be to renationalise them.

"True colours". No one is MAKING workers work for 'Shit pay'.

@@sirgreatbritain3128 yes, his "true colours". He is a deeply racist, classist, bigoted and frankly....silly, little man. Might I suggest you read a book called; "The Invention of Capitalism" by Michael Perelman. It might expand your obviously "limited" horizons.

Starkey is a twat.

Not when ai is running things

That's why automation is going ahead

@@andresviveros3994 Just need to get robots to buy the shite they're making so the shit point you're making becomes rather clever.

@@petersamra9828 have you not heard that old joke about the automated air liner, it's a bit long but basically the a I is describing how it controls the plane and ends with if you look out the windows in a lifeboat below are your captain and crew, captain and crew.

Who get affected by these strikes??? It's working class people

Here Here.

Agreed!

TheDelta57 He wasn’t referring to train drivers wages but the trade union leader’s wage,which is £52,000 not dollars. Just pointing out the distinction.

TheDelta57 also, starkey has a working class background and educated himself.

If you have 50K your not working class.

The most sensible comment.

You can withdraw labour by quitting your job

@@MaNarchicDRAKE but everyone has to do it together or you don't eat, it's been set up that way. Greenspan accidentally told the truth when asked, to explain why production had skyrocketed since the late 70s, he answered, "worker insecurity."

Lynne Barnes yeah and that’s a great thing, it keeps everyone competitive. The business owners don’t have security of their business either. Customers can stop buying with them at will. Why should workers be privledged and extra secure? Yeah strike, but you can also leave and find a better job. It’s a free market and people want the best employees

@@MaNarchicDRAKE big pharma insurance companies and arms manufacturers, google, Jeff Basos, etc are pretty secure, how do you explain that?

Lynne Barnes I’ll admit that some of those have government protection and preference. However they are still not secure. Microsoft for example wasn’t secure from apple and google competing with it, neither were countless other companies

that's why I admire george galloway not for his politics but his rhetoric. he is very good at speaking.

Theresa May's, "Little Johnny Good Boy"; he actually fancies himself as a future Conservative leader - Hahahahahah!

Daniel WOODRUFFE He’s a perfect conservative leader, an upper class snob !

Reading this comment 11 months on and seeing him worm on tv amidst the coved 19 epidemic confirms he's well out of his depth.

This aged well

@Roger Padac69 How low can he go?

Know how stupid a question that is

@@mikemcguinness1304 No I don't. It seems obvious and pertinent. Perhaps you can explain why its stupid?

Efraim Newman becoz thats how capitalism works. Exploit the workers for their labour and the money goes to a few. Thats not democratic.

Prescient comment, Efraim.

Albeit with a receding barnet and a more effeminate voice. And now a completely compromised psychopath that relies completely on limitless lies and fudged figures.

amen!

@Steve Ruddick Yeah..... Hancock is a little slug here.

🤣🤣🤣

You realize the immense responsibility train drivers have when suddenly they get a call regarding diverting signals or sudden halts or manual intervention?! As someone who has a family member who drives trains, I can assure you that's FAR from "automatic". ".... Do you even realize what the added value is for a society, bus drivers, train drivers, tube drivers?! David Starkey is ignorant as hell! You have to know your route like the back of your hand, signal/junction locations and braking distance, trauma from jumpers, the abnormal drop out rate from tests etc. etc. Be my guest, they shouldn't strike right?!

Talk nonsense. He's the only one who speaks with sense and logic

@stephenmurray2851: 😂

No, he’s really not.

If that was so easy

the class system is an ass system. Strikes prove at least one thing, workers are not going to be treated like animals to be exploited

I think Shane McKenna breathes far too much.

Free state wanker

I think Shane is a troll

If you have not been paid a handsome purse for typing this shit then you are a troll shitting around for nothing
