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.”
British media is so used to using civility and decorum to bully anyone going against their society's status quo.
But now instead of dealing with naive young folks or scruffy old communists, they have to deal with this quintessential British chap.
Hell yeah this shit is tight. Watch him struggle to get air time by the weekend
pandemonium erupts as union thug breaks journalists' knees on live television!
It's priceless to see how these thatcherite worms start flailing and losing their shit when they, probably for the first time ever, run into somebody who pushes back against their hogwash.
Watching those clips legitimately cheered me up lmao
i can’t do that with a backbench MP who’s just learnt it off a script
This was leaked from within the tories probably by the anti-Boris faction. Tory infighting helping us out.
division amongst the ruling class is a consistent theme in revolutions throughout history 👀

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”
that miners strike picket question reminded me of that time Margaret Hodge cornered Corbyn while secretly recording him to ask about anti semitism to which Corbyn replied that anti semitism is a serious issue with no place in the party and she released the tape leading to the media playing it and talking about how on the tape he admitted to being an anti semite
:not-a-journalist:
