    One really crucial point Mick makes is that these nationalised industries are not genuine private companies that have to survive by being competitive. The profits ARE privatised, the LOSSES are paid for by the tax payer. Nowhere is this more true than the railways. As Mick says, the operating companies take no entrepreneurial risk ( but get rewarded by Govt as if they have) and when the going gets tough they hand the contract back to the Govt and walk off. The rental of rolling stock was always bonkers because you are renting carriages at a fix level for a fixed period without knowing your needs - Mick’s point of rolling stock during Covid. Great if you are the firm leasing out the rolling stock, rubbish value for the tex payer. The structure set up at privatisation was unworkable for running trains but great for city types making huge profits and we have spent the last 20 + years paying the cost of (Tory) dogma.

I mean, I didn't know that either, but then I wasn't planning on talking about implementing them as driverless options to the head of a railway union, so maybe I don't need to. Still, it would have been handy for him to have known how the tech he hypothetically wants to use works.

    These MP’s in the media keep on trying but they just can’t outthink or outwit Mick Lynch. He knows his trade inside out and wants to make life better for everyone. He left school and qualified as an electrician, then worked in construction. From there he began working for Eurostar, and became active in the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT).

They don't even acknowledge the sweat dripping on their foreheads... I'd say they need help but they're supposed to be the ones helping us (i.e. the whole country). Despicable.

    In response to that opening question; many members have only lost a small amount of money. Network rail relies on overtime as it is, therefore many members are able to work some extra shifts to cover their losses on strike days. If network rail could really afford to cut jobs, they’d enforce an overtime ban. I don’t believe they’d be able to manage if they did this and the maintenance would fall heavily into backlog.

A meeting was arranged and All the Managers were there and representatives of the Workers through their Union, and the only person they were missing was the Boss himself. This Man kept the whole room of people waiting for him for well over and hour and my Father said the atmosphere in the room was not good.
    Finally he arrived, literally crashing the door open, stormed into the room and stood at the head of the table and shouted 'Give them Fucking Nothing', then turned round and stormed out, leaving the Managers open mouthed and the Union Rep's in shock.
    My Father was an Amateur Boxer and did National Service and he said he'd never wanted to kill somebody so much. This is the environment that the tories want to reintroduce, and tear up the hard fought rights that Working people have had to fight for. We need to kick the tories out NOW.
