Apologies for the Bernie Lib energy, but Mick Lynch has been going on TV for the last 48 hours dismantling every ghastly pundit and journalist that is trying to demonize striking rail workers:
- you can see what picketing involves, I can’t believe this line of questioning…what are you talking about, you seem to have gone off into the world of the surreal
- (to close Starmer ally) i don’t even know who you are
- are we to plead? are we to beg? we want to bargain for our futures. we want to negotiate
- pay restraint? he’s on £600k a year
- i can’t do that with a backbench MP who’s just learnt it off a script
- that’s a lie, direct lie…he’s lying…and you’re a liar
It’s nice to see the media class fuck up and let someone competent on
:train-shining: :traingang:
To quote this Guardian interview with him:
He sighs: “All I want from life is a bit of socialism.”
There's an interview where the interviewer is trying really hard to get him to say that he's a Marxist, and after about a minute he says "no, I'm not a Marxist" and might as well have winked at the camera lol
"i'm not a marxist, i just support the things marxists support and i'm working on making them happen"
Lmao Richard Madeley goes full Partridge in this
Edit: lol the eyebrow twitching when he says “this has nothing to do with Marxism”
