I believe what they are standing up for is right it's time to say enough is enough when working folk are getting shat on from some of these company's hark back to how P&O carried on not so long ago were all their staff were sacked and replaced with cheap labour this could be a possibility on the rail network if it was not for a strong union. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Mick Lynch has been a breath of fresh air. He's trounced every interviewer and slippery politician he's been up against despite their training in public speaking, debating and media presentation. He's done it by speaking the truth: he's defending the people he represents from redundancies, a pay cut and and a change to their conditions of employment. You can still identify as working class and be proud of your roots even if you have a decent job and salary. If the Labour party stopped being so slimy and had more people like Lynch prepared to speak up against shit pay and conditions, it might stand a chance of being re_elected.

I've never even heard the bloke speak.... So I admit I'm coming from a position of ignorance and am really just throwing in smart memes to appear to be clever.... ....but...these people are hard left, and they can't be separated from the Labour Party and the fact that really, the hard left, the moderate left and dave down the road who votes Labour....are in a position of never speaking out against things like mass immigration. They may have come from a working background, they may talk the talk of the working man, but ultimately they would screw the lot of us just to be able to 'smash the tories'. If you don't have some left wing leanings at 18 you have no heart, if you don't have Conservative leanings at 30 you have never grown up, and if you are left wing at 50 your normally just a bitter has been anarchist or a traitor. (and by Conservative leaning I don't actually mean Conservative party) 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not all union leaders are ultra left wing. But they have to be left of centre as it is the ones on the right side of centre who are usually screwing the workers. Bliar being the exception. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 The diversity and inclusion industry has gone too far. Why can’t we just treat everyone as human?
