Not weird. Tory take.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 practiceswww.ft.com

The question related to which industries the government are planning to privatise.Subsidised rail companies (taxpayer funded, profits to subsidised foreign nationalised railways), then private monopolies (water)...
You suggested two that have already been privatised.

You are aware that these rail strikes have been going on since August and the Govt and any realistic management team would have sat around a table and thrashed out a deal months ago.
Yeah, I got that wrong.The question related to which industries the government are planning to privatise.

Like the Tories in privatising them.

The government are refusing to negotiate in order to smear the unions and in turn, Labour. They are that corrupt.You are aware that these rail strikes have been going on since August and the Govt and any realistic management team would have sat around a table and thrashed out a deal months ago.

You can't keep putting wags up by 10% because then costs will go up and offset it.Prices need to come down? You have heard of capitalism and stagnation yeah? What you are saying there is that prices need to come down 10% so we need a 10% contraction in our economy. Are we headed for the G30 now?
Complaining about a contraction of the economy is just wooden money talk. It makes no difference to the fact that people can't afford to feed themselves.
It's like saying your business is making double the amount - if the profits are half then the result is the same.
Bring fuel and utilities cost down and the cost of living will reduce.

So Mick Lynch making a dick of himself on the BBC is going to break the deadlock I suppose?You are aware that these rail strikes have been going on since August and the Govt and any realistic management team would have sat around a table and thrashed out a deal months ago.
Deals with other unions have been agreed. Given that we’re asking patronising questions, were you aware of that?

I agree that certain natural monopolies like the water industry shouldn’t have been privatised.Yeah, I got that wrong.
