He’s going down very well, not with all, but yeah he has been very good in his interviews, showing up the media for talking bollocks and asking bull **** questions and not dealing with what’s going on and the important issues, refusing to pander to baiting and sound bites
He’s being paid to help the likes of Mogg make an absolute fortune out of Tory policy
Thank **** for Brexit and hallelujah for having invented a role for JRM to fulfil. At long bloody last we can sort those bloody vacuums out and can now sell bubbly in plastic bottles. It's all we ever wanted!

Mick Lynch has slaughtered pretty much every politician and pundit he's been confronted with.
A very impressive man.
Train tickets go up by RPI
State pensions to go up by RPI
Public sector workers MUST NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET ANYWHERE NEAR RPI BECAUSE THAT CREATES AN INFLATIONARY SPIRAL. Even though about a third of any pay rise is given straight back to the government in tax and NI.
Go figure.
Got this today ...from a striker
Three years ago we accepted a 0% pay rise, two years ago we accepted a 0% pay rise. But this year they came to us with a 0% pay rise plus over 2500 redundancies, changes to terms and conditions. An increase from 28 weeks of nights to 39 weeks of nights. An increase from 32 weekends worked to 39 weekends worked. Currently for a night shift we get time and a quarter, for a weekend turn we get time and a half. They wish to cut both of these to time and a tenth. So that’s a 15% pay cut on every night shift and a 40% pay cut on every weekend turn. But they want us to work more of them. This is their modernisation they talk about. Not technology, we embrace technology and have seen more and more of it in recent years. They also wish to fire and re-hire the operative grades and bring them back under a new job title but on £9000 a year less. They also want them to use their own vehicles to get to work sites, this when fuel is at its highest. They will also be pooled when currently they are part of the team. The press are painting this to be about pay above all else. It is not. But now we’ve said sod them we are going to demand better. I wish everyone could see past the government controlled media smear.
That is fundamentally disgraceful

Not related to the previous topic of conversation, but still related to politics. After the recent news from Uvlade, Texas...how does this make any sense;
