That's because murdock & soros own media & sleeping with the globalists and own our govenments All an agenda to Rob the fecking lot of us and turn us into slaves!
Well said Mr. Lynch. Since the 1970s power has shifted from workers to shareholders, the obsession with creating shareholder value has given us a rentier economy where if you’re lucky enough to own property and shares you have disposable income to burn without having to worry about wages. We need to start taxing wealth, not income. The UK is unique amongst rich countries in not having an ownership tax, a tax where those who own property in places like Kensington for example pay a much higher tax than someone living in say Blackburn where property is much cheaper. This is a tax that cannot be avoided by the rich who normally find a way around paying it through clever accounting and offshoring.
Ooh. Straight off the TUC/Labour manifesto. And do you know the sad thing? Only saps like you believe it and will hand the Tories another term in office. Start thinking for yourself.
@@Swindonboy56 It might have something to do with the window tax levied during the Georgian Era in the 1700s, where the tax increased on the amount of windows you had, idea being richer people had more windows, ergo they would pay more

I love this man (😍 Mick Lynch), even though he is a Brexiteer (😞). Should not be the Labour Party raising these issues on the media? He will be the right leader for the LP and not the (right wing) of Stamer.
I totally disagree with your obnoxious headline. Mick didn't try to make fools of antibody I don't think he's that sort of bloke. The 3 BBC radio interviewers had questions that Mick answered honestly and by doing that he eventually got them on his side. I believe Mick can teach a lot of folks how to be a gentleman with his demeanour and honesty.
It says a lot about the BBC journo that he is surprised at the current government being described as “hard right”. The current cabinet act like fascists.
They'd pay the worker nothing if they felt they could get away with it? I was hoping Lynch's answer was more "It's the choice between what flavour shit sandwich you want?" But i'll take his actual answer. 😂
The argument that paying workers more would increase costs of living is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, even though it probably is true. It's the stupidest argument to say prices may go up if we give workers raises when prices have been going up anyway without pay raises.
I'm always amazed at how Mick keeps calm and factual regardless of the number of times he's baited, ignored, lied to, belittled. He's a fantastic example of how to win an argument.
He just has to get past the Neo-Liberal Gate Keepers in the Party and we all saw what they did to Corbyn when he managed to get one on them and be voted in.. Twice, because they didn't like the result and demanded another election to which Corbyn beat them even harder. But Mick Lynch could save the Labour Party, if he wanted to be leader? But the Party will make him out to be the next Adolf Hitler, like they did with Corbyn.
Exactly. It's a key part of the interviewers' job to challenge the interviewee, so we get a fuller representation of what the latter has to say. It's not a competition, and to characterise such interviews as if they are is entirely missing the point.
tax may be higher HERE than it has been for a while .... but it is NOT higher than other countries that have the kind of services that we should have and could afford if politicians weren't so swivel-eyed and fetishistic about tax being a bad thing. It isn't. Lynchi is correct.
This guy is a real leader. The kind who only appear once in several generations if you're lucky. I don't live in the UK, but I feel Mr Lynch is going to have a huge impact on world politics. The Thatcher/Reagan neo-liberal experiment is unravelling at breakneck speed and it's especially apparent in the UK.
I read a lot of good and positive comments about Mick Lynch with respect to his handling in interviews, i.e. media. He's calm, very knowledgeable and says it how it is. The media is indeed to polite (bar a few) to properly question politicians and I can see why. If youre employed by them and you give, in this case, tories a hard time, you may well face the end of your career. However, Mick is not part of that club and he is so impressive. I hope we all get the chance to support him in some way or another. He does not just speak for the RMT but for the country!!
