Femi is a ****.

Eddie Dempsey helped create FLAF who organised against the EDL

I wonder who is behind this, it seems to me it is an obvious ploy to discredit the RMT in the eyes of the public.

I know Eddie.

He's you're typical working class London boy. And he does play it on when he needs too.

Steve Hedley was the Daily Heil previous whipping boy when he was AGS. He's now retired, so the attacks have been deflected onto him.

They won't dare go for Mick as he's handed them their arse every time they've met.

Lynch is perceived by many as the leader of the working class movement in this country. When he attended our rally he stood and took selfies with almost everyone who attended. He was also very gracious in letting some fat bloke speak after him.

I met him at the annual International Brigade memorial day. He was guest speaker and he was brilliant to listen too. The event is held on the south bank of the Thames by Waterloo station and i think he is a member of the Waterloo branch of the RMT.

I worked with him closely for a couple of years when he became our companies lead officer.

He's a clever man and plays the dumb cockney role well in meetings with management. He'd let the reps plead their case and then tear managements response to shreds.

Had my arguments with him as well. But there's nothing personal that lingers after. He ripped me one at the AGM after a motion was put in about removing Lewis from our parliamentary group and I spoke for keeping him on it. Was all forgotten in the pub later.

Sounds like there may be some movement at long last?
 
Our mole in the DFT says the backlash to ticket office closures has surprised them and they will either have to roll back on it or do it anyway and use the RDG as their human shield.

As an aside they are also considering closing two London Railway stations to fund pre election budget bribes.

Manchester Airport station has removed two of the four main ticket machines. The ones that sell you a £6.20 single to Piccadilly for a "buy now" ticket when there are "advance" tickets for £4.20 on TPE and £3.50 on Northern. And TPE have added a bank of their own machines to a wall where no-one would look for them.

I’m surprised the RMT had the time to discuss this at the TUC, given the apparent agonising as to whether they should support - or just abstain on - the motion expressing support for Ukraine.

Mind you at least they didn’t vote against it.

The Morning Star, naturally.

The RMT and NEU abstained on the motion.

Special mention goes to the FBU though who opposed.

The next time I drive past my local fire station I’ll rest easy knowing they spend so much time formulating and expressing their anti-imperialist views.
