Yes, and also the reason why they continue to ask why Labour won't condemn it, and mention the 'union paymasters'. Dripfeed.
It's probably something-opathic.
Do you support the RMT?

Cry? What you on about? I don't use the railways.
I meant it's a joke to the workers trying to get a good deal, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I think there are troubling times ahead sadly with very few winners. Certainly not for the average man on the street anyway.
You’ve posted previously that you’re pissed off because the strikes have been an inconvenience to you.

He’s not really doing himself any favours though when he starts banging on about re-balancing society and ‘what the super rich are doing to the nurses’, whatever that means. He’s just inviting people to view him as a militant politician pursuing an agenda which the majority of the population don’t agree with. Complaining about the questions he faced, calling them the most right wing stuff out there, just reinforces it all.Mick Lynch goes in on the Beeb
Mick Lynch: RMT leader hits out at BBC train strikes coverage
The boss of the UK's biggest rail union accuses the BBC of "parroting" the right-wing press.www.bbc.co.uk
He’s there to represent his union members, explain why they are striking, why they don’t agree with the change in working practices and so on. He should be providing specific examples of why the average rail user will be better off if the RMT stick to their guns, but he doesn’t want to do any of that unfortunately. He’s just playing to his own gallery, pushing a broader agenda which isn’t really relevant to the RMT, and if he does that then he can’t expect the press coverage to improve for him.

He missed the perfect opportunity there, I would have asked Richard " how many shoplifting days till Christmas? "

Weird take. I’d argue he enjoys the support of the majority of working people. Those that understand know he’s encouraging debate but being met by a government who are not prepared at all to sit down and talk. An offer was about to be made the other day and the government stepped in with ridiculous clauses ensuring no reasonable result could be met.

Government prevented higher pay offer and added tougher conditions on working practices

When those asking the questions are referring to him as a militant Marxist - when they bang on about Labour to him knowing full well he has already said he is not a Labour Party member and he heads a union that is not affiliated to Labour I think he is entitled to reply in whatever manner he wants to.
Interesting that no-one from the Govt will meet and chat with him on TV over the disputes nor will any of the rail bosses - then again having seen the mess the Royal Mail boss made of his TV appearance you can see why they are too scared to be put under examination
