As a train driver myself, I don't agree with it at all. I get paid a good wage. I've got my own house my own car. family go on 2 holidays a year and weekends aways, also I put money in my savings every month for when I retire and still have money left over when next pay day comes. I think we should focus on people who work 30 40 hours a week and make just over 1100 after tax. They're the ones who are finding it the hardest.
Think the point is that these gammon presenters are owned and spill the rhetoric of their billionaire paymasters... keep supporting them though and watch the country crumble
I genuinely don't understand why the government are supporting these private businesses financially through the strike, should they not only be doing this if the service is nationalised, can someone help me understand?
we used to have a nationalised service and generally people agree that the privatised service is more effective. Its definitely a debate to be had but I would say generally speaking privatised services of this scale are more effective. It's a shame they have these idiots doing the speaking on behalf of their strike regime though haha
@@aw2390 Who exactly says that the privatised service is better? Can you point me to this poll please because I can point you to a few that disagrees with your sentiment. I remember when the railways were publicly owned, it was run so much better, tickets were much cheaper, everybody paid the same price, heck they even had porters to help passengers with luggage.

@michaellawlor5625 If anything he was preaching socialism not communism. I'm pretty sure he was rooting for fairness and peoples rights being upheld and maintained. Communism is a dictatorship. Torys want a dictatorship, the left want democracy. Do you realise how many people the right has killed over the years through creating poverty and destitution in Britain? Also far-right fascist neo-liberal Nazi Germany.
If this man says “it’s on the auto Que” One more time. He’s like a child. I would reduce their wages not increase them and anyone who doesn’t like it should be sacked. Sack them all and re hire people who would happily do the job for less money and then remove the ability to strike from the contract too. Disgrace, If this was private sector they just be sacked
The train service is terrible as well as the strikes there are trains constantly cancelled I waited an hour to get home the other night to get home due to a cancelled train do they not realise that they are also impacting other people that need to get to work and are on less money then they are on and can’t afford to loss their jobs because they can’t get to work
God some people don’t listen, The services are terrible because the workers and people who actually run the trains are underfunded as Steve just said, the money received from the government is funnelled to shareholders and not to the people who can actually improve the service. Blame the tories for allowing the money to be funnelled away and blame the train companies, not the workers. Please.
Kelly do you even understand what’s going on, I’ll give a little example. (The figures may be off but you get my drift). For every £100 of tax payers moneys going into the railways, theee private companies are taking £60 of it as profit and to pay shareholders, the remaining £40 is being used to run the service and pay workers. The way it should work is, the full £100 should go into the railway itself and the workers after all the original funding is coming from tax payers. Anyone doing a service for profit is always going to want to “increase margaIns” over time, I suppose it’s fine if it’s the case of a Mars bar shrinking but if it’s your relatives cancer treatments then it’s a huge problem.
A lot of Conservative supporters are in the comment section. However, what Tice and Oakeshott seem to be forgetting about in this dispute is not train drivers or RMT leaders and the salary they get. This is about saving the jobs of those that work in the ticket offices, ticket collectors, train guards and cleaners who face the prospect of being made redundant, and getting paid properly for the work that they do. Although he didn't handle himself well in this interview, Hedley is right the government is subsidizing shareholders in the rail industry.
If you are invited to talk to these 2 clowns you must know that they will permanently interrupt you. They have no idea how to manage a proper discussion. I like when he said that the government money is going to the railway company, they give the most to their cronies and the rest to the workers..... that's the way they do it.
Don’t think baldy did anything to endear people to the unions/RMT, if that’s his attitude, aggressive, sarcastic, throwing the the term ‘fascist’ around and belittling the presenters, wether deserved or not, I wouldn’t want him representing me..
You obviously haven’t seen the Ugandan interview with “pasta” who is against gay people and transgender people. It’s absolutely hilarious. You want to laugh, look it up. Thank me later. 😂
If ceos take home inflated care packages and bonuses for doing nothing different than why shouldn’t everyone benefit the same way, The moneys there. Why should shareholders take pejorative profits home instead of the back bone of the business being paid economically equal wage to life expense pay? Because favoritism/greed/corruption. End it now. Tories out!
Everything about this was embarrassing, maturity and rational discussion missing from both sides here. Sounds like a conversation you'd overhear in the corner of a pub at 11pm
You don't mess with a Union Man. Why do they think a worker is responsible for designing a more effcient transport system? Obviously they don't have any power. That's why they're on strike.
A perfect demonstration of the horseshoe theory. As Hedley (complete with RMT Palestinian tee shirt) unravels, screaming that the presenters are Fascists and behaving in a deranged and aggressive way, particularly to the female presenter we get to see his real colours. When asked for his original solution, he becomes angrier, eventually shouting how he'd have "People's Councils- People's Councils and take over the government!" Brainwashed and stupid, a bad combination. Extraordinary that the RMT see him as anything other than a liability. Needs showing in a politics course but won't happen in British universities.
well to work in train sector is hard work, and if government do not provide money to its employees and to the instrustry to make it better, how will it ever become a better service. If You want people to break their backs , pay them low wages and do not put funding into the train sector to provide services to the rich and rich expect high standard service, then you are living in a dream world. He is right, the two reporters are sitting there on their high horses getting paid 200k to $1m to read a few lines of a cue screen that someone else had written , while everyone else in the country gets peanuts for income for hard labour work.
Ray Epps Confesses He ‘Orchestrated’ January 6 BY RUFARO MANYEPA • JANUARY 2, 2023 Transcripts from hearings conducted by the January 6 committee released last Thursday show that Ray Epps told his nephew Dalin Epps that as far as January 6 was concerned, “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.” The deposition took place on Jan. 21, 2022, but it has only now been released. It further proves the collusion between the committee and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to steal an election and ensure it stays stolen. Ray Epps was caught on video telling protesters, “We need to go into the Capitol.” Nearby protesters refused, calling him a Fed. But he continued trying to convince people to enter the Capitol. Many of those people, who simply entered the building, and many who did not, have been arrested and kept in prison in terrible conditions. But Epps continues to walk free, even after his clumsy testimony before the January 6 committee: At that point, I didn’t know that they were breaking into the Capitol. I didn’t [know] windows had been broken. I didn’t know anybody was in the Capitol. I answered him, that means I was on-at 2:12, I was on my way back to the hotel room. Here are the facts: The fbi has refused to deny that it had agents planted in the crowd with January 6 protesters. Epps was caught on camera inciting a riot, and he was accused of being a Fed. The left has repeatedly protected and shielded him from any kind of prosecution, while people who have done far less languish in prison to this very day. Evidence of election fraud is being revealed. Government institutions at the very highest levels worked to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump. They manufactured the chaos on Jan. 6, 2021, to prevent a legal inquest into that theft. But the truth is being exposed more and more, just as the Bible says it would. To learn more: Read “The Federal Bureau of Fabrication.”

I wonder how this guy even had an important position at a job
I honestly don't know what to say "Where's the Autocue" I'm speechless 😬
Fantastic from Steve , puts them in their place and again shows who is right in this dispute. Victory to the Workers!
👍
100%
Total and pure immaturity.
from Mick yes
Brilliant television. More informative quality like this please.
I (American) like this guy. We need to see more of him on television.
I watched this the other night & I was crying laughing,best television I,ve seen for years 🤣🤣👌👌😁😁
@@zolfodor4835 This type of TV could never happen in America. They would cut off the guest, run to commercial. He's too uncontrollable. The only thing he didn't do here is swear (use profanity).
@Reggae Fan Tbh mate that's what I thought was gonna happen,I,d rather watch classic TV like this every night than the usual shite they normally throw at us.
lol
Why dont they let him speak, fascist behavior 😮
He's obviously Far Left. The Far Leftists see literally everyone and everything that's not Far Left as being "Far Right"... or "fascist". The incessant talk about "capitalism" and the compulsory "pro-Palestine" t-shirt really give the game away. You could spot this Trot from 6,000 miles away. He's almost a self-caricature. Dave Spart interviewed by Talk TV. When are we going to have his estranged cousin, Nick Griffin, on?
.. He's left and they are on the right
@@imemine6494 What!? And grass is green and snow is white?
@@paulaustinmurphy.. tell me where and why I am wrong????
@@imemine6494 I don't understand. My reply basically stated: What you wrote is obvious. And my first comment said that the train-workers' leader is Far Left and I know the presenters are on the Right. Are you slow?
@@paulaustinmurphy.. give me a piece of chalk please???
Mick Cash, the RMT’s former general secretary, took home a total remuneration of £163,468 in 2020, including £1,432 in car benefit. Steve Hedley, former RMT senior assistant general secretary, had a total remuneration of £94,016, including £2,945 in car benefit, in the same year. Former RMT assistant general secretary and now the union’s general secretary, Mick Lynch, had total remuneration of £118,450 in 2020.
And they're standing up for those that are getting paid less than them unlike the CEOs and the boards who are on £1m+ and are offering 2.3% increase for their £35k employees 🙄
How much should a union leader get then? Surely a person in charge of a union who seeks to get a fair wage for everyone would be paid a good wage.
Lol if you say so.
@@patrickhiston5777 they should be getting a lot less than what they are that's for sure. They shouldn't be getting more than nurses. These guys are already living a comfy life but they want to speak on behalf of working class. They have no idea what they're on about cause they're so out of touch with working class.
@@Thanatos6 really? If the members thought that they wouldn't vote them or a strike. So is it all leaders of unions or just the Rmt?
Why are these newscasters so against paying the rail workers making a decent living?
.. Cuz they are part of the establishment and upper class.. they want to keep the working class down
Their not, their job is to challenge the person they are interviewing.
See kids if you wear tin foil hats constantly your hair falls out!
I'm a union guy, but this guy man.
HE'S RIGHT THEY ARE. RECENTLY THEY DIDNT EVEN LET A FORMER LABOUR MP SPEAK ABOUT THE ABUSES DONE ON PALESTINIAN KIDS BY IS.RAELI SOLDIERS.... SO GO FIGURE.
He's a joke. An idiot and waste of time and space. He doesn't represent the unions at all.
He's great.Most union reps are just tools of the business, watching your rights getting pissed all over while staying silent.
@@justintarrant956 he was preaching communism man. You know how many people that's killed?
@michaellawlor5625 If anything he was preaching socialism not communism. I'm pretty sure he was rooting for fairness and peoples rights being upheld and maintained. Communism is a dictatorship. Torys want a dictatorship, the left want democracy. Do you realise how many people the right has killed over the years through creating poverty and destitution in Britain? Also far-right fascist neo-liberal Nazi Germany.
Fascists, GB News reporters Fascists? What else would you call them.
Conservative?
If this man says “it’s on the auto Que”
One more time. He’s like a child. I would reduce their wages not increase them and anyone who doesn’t like it should be sacked. Sack them all and re hire people who would happily do the job for less money and then remove the ability to strike from the contract too. Disgrace, If this was private sector they just be sacked
The train service is terrible as well as the strikes there are trains constantly cancelled I waited an hour to get home the other night to get home due to a cancelled train do they not realise that they are also impacting other people that need to get to work and are on less money then they are on and can’t afford to loss their jobs because they can’t get to work
Diddums
God some people don’t listen, The services are terrible because the workers and people who actually run the trains are underfunded as Steve just said, the money received from the government is funnelled to shareholders and not to the people who can actually improve the service. Blame the tories for allowing the money to be funnelled away and blame the train companies, not the workers. Please.
Blame the people at the top then not the ordinary workers
Absolute stupidity
@@carlmiller2603 love you too.
Kelly do you even understand what’s going on, I’ll give a little example. (The figures may be off but you get my drift).
For every £100 of tax payers moneys going into the railways, theee private companies are taking £60 of it as profit and to pay shareholders, the remaining £40 is being used to run the service and pay workers. The way it should work is, the full £100 should go into the railway itself and the workers after all the original funding is coming from tax payers. Anyone doing a service for profit is always going to want to “increase margaIns” over time, I suppose it’s fine if it’s the case of a Mars bar shrinking but if it’s your relatives cancer treatments then it’s a huge problem.
A lot of Conservative supporters are in the comment section. However, what Tice and Oakeshott seem to be forgetting about in this dispute is not train drivers or RMT leaders and the salary they get. This is about saving the jobs of those that work in the ticket offices, ticket collectors, train guards and cleaners who face the prospect of being made redundant, and getting paid properly for the work that they do. Although he didn't handle himself well in this interview, Hedley is right the government is subsidizing shareholders in the rail industry.
I'm an ex-conservative voter and I agree with you 100% but why does he go into the stupid name calling. It is so childish & insulting.
This gentleman did not do his colleagues any favours by conducting himself as he did. They’ll not get the public onboard this way
He kept getting side tracked.
@@mrtomoslowen He kept getting ‘side-tracked’, because he’s a babbling moron.
I would say calling him a 'gentleman' is a bit of a stretch....more of a bitter underachiever who believes himself to be Che Guevara!
.. I thought he rattled them both
@@imemine6494 he sounded like he had a mental health issue shouting things like Hitler youth
If you are invited to talk to these 2 clowns you must know that they will permanently interrupt you. They have no idea how to manage a proper discussion.
I like when he said that the government money is going to the railway company, they give the most to their cronies and the rest to the workers..... that's the way they do it.
Don’t think baldy did anything to endear people to the unions/RMT, if that’s his attitude, aggressive, sarcastic, throwing the the term ‘fascist’ around and belittling the presenters, wether deserved or not, I wouldn’t want him representing me..
this is the thing, they actually have decent arguments but as soon as the name calling starts, thats it. I'm not interested.
Funniest interview i have seen in my life
You obviously haven’t seen the Ugandan interview with “pasta” who is against gay people and transgender people. It’s absolutely hilarious. You want to laugh, look it up. Thank me later. 😂
@@pommiebears Classic 😂😂
There’s a song from the 70s about him it’s called ‘ I’m a wanker’ 😂
I dunno who wrote this comedy sketch.. but I hope TalkTV give him a raise.
🤭
Car crash interview, this guy is embarrassing
.. Thought he rattled them
One legend and 2 bellends
Steve Hedley is clearly the FORMER RMT assistant secretary for a reason, that reason being he's lost the plot.
If ceos take home inflated care packages and bonuses for doing nothing different than why shouldn’t everyone benefit the same way, The moneys there. Why should shareholders take pejorative profits home instead of the back bone of the business being paid economically equal wage to life expense pay? Because favoritism/greed/corruption. End it now. Tories out!
Everything about this was embarrassing, maturity and rational discussion missing from both sides here. Sounds like a conversation you'd overhear in the corner of a pub at 11pm
Spot on! These grown adults have been dumbed down to stupid statuses!
Yes it wasn't great, but I don't think anyone is gonna respond well, if you call them a Nazi. What a numpty.
You don't mess with a Union Man. Why do they think a worker is responsible for designing a more effcient transport system? Obviously they don't have any power. That's why they're on strike.
Only missing was 3 glasses of Beer
This is why they made a program called Derry Girls, not Derry Boys.
Imagine trying to negotiate with this guy
Yeah that's the point. They want someone who isn't gonna back off. That guy is awesome.
@@manchesterunited9576 yes but I don’t think someone who makes baseless accusations and is extremely aggressive and bigoted
Them two banging each other...
Who the fuck would be in charge
They're stupid presenters
A perfect demonstration of the horseshoe theory. As Hedley (complete with RMT Palestinian tee shirt) unravels, screaming that the presenters are Fascists and behaving in a deranged and aggressive way, particularly to the female presenter we get to see his real colours. When asked for his original solution, he becomes angrier, eventually shouting how he'd have "People's Councils- People's Councils and take over the government!" Brainwashed and stupid, a bad combination. Extraordinary that the RMT see him as anything other than a liability.
Needs showing in a politics course but won't happen in British universities.
.. What's wrong with a Palestine t shirt.. I support their cause.. why don't you???
Yeah, & he's even got a BA degree. Heaven knows how he got it. Says a lot for our Universities doesn't it?
Why did this continue,Don't give him a platform of vile.
well to work in train sector is hard work, and if government do not provide money to its employees and to the instrustry to make it better, how will it ever become a better service. If You want people to break their backs , pay them low wages and do not put funding into the train sector to provide services to the rich and rich expect high standard service, then you are living in a dream world.
He is right, the two reporters are sitting there on their high horses getting paid 200k to $1m to read a few lines of a cue screen that someone else had written , while everyone else in the country gets peanuts for income for hard labour work.
If they are all like him they deserve nothing no wonder no one can settle this with an attitude like his my god another bloody dictator.
.. Dictator?.. he had two of them against him, on their show
This is why the negotiations are going nowhere
He's not negotiating, then two are like rabib animals
I think Steve was also pissed that he wasn't interviewed by Morgan Piers
I like the girl...These two presenters seem to be relatives to piers
No the train operator s and unions are the ones holding the country to ransome, not the government
He may sound a bit barmy but he was spot on about Richard Tice and his sketchy offshore accounts, though - wasn't he?!
Public services will never work if the government doesn’t allocate proportion rep to its voters. The public need to have majority say
What kind of journalists dont allow their interviewee to answer their questions? . . . And then lose their argument? What a couple of losers.
Ray Epps Confesses He ‘Orchestrated’ January 6
BY RUFARO MANYEPA • JANUARY 2, 2023
Transcripts from hearings conducted by the January 6 committee released last Thursday show that Ray Epps told his nephew Dalin Epps that as far as January 6 was concerned, “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.” The deposition took place on Jan. 21, 2022, but it has only now been released. It further proves the collusion between the committee and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to steal an election and ensure it stays stolen.
Ray Epps was caught on video telling protesters, “We need to go into the Capitol.” Nearby protesters refused, calling him a Fed. But he continued trying to convince people to enter the Capitol. Many of those people, who simply entered the building, and many who did not, have been arrested and kept in prison in terrible conditions. But Epps continues to walk free, even after his clumsy testimony before the January 6 committee:
At that point, I didn’t know that they were breaking into the Capitol. I didn’t [know] windows had been broken. I didn’t know anybody was in the Capitol. I answered him, that means I was on-at 2:12, I was on my way back to the hotel room.
Here are the facts:
The fbi has refused to deny that it had agents planted in the crowd with January 6 protesters.
Epps was caught on camera inciting a riot, and he was accused of being a Fed.
The left has repeatedly protected and shielded him from any kind of prosecution, while people who have done far less languish in prison to this very day.
Evidence of election fraud is being revealed. Government institutions at the very highest levels worked to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump. They manufactured the chaos on Jan. 6, 2021, to prevent a legal inquest into that theft. But the truth is being exposed more and more, just as the Bible says it would.
To learn more: Read “The Federal Bureau of Fabrication.”
What an odious man. Is he actively trying to make everyone hate the unions even more?
Mischief managed!
even more odious as a guest on Julia Hartley-Brewer's radio program
Love him - owned those two clowns 😂
Watching Tyce and Oakshot is like watching a screwed up Madely and Ann Diamond....
These guys are just gangsters. They have no ability to listen to anyone. Utter ignoramous!
If you tried to sketch this it wouldn't come out this good lol
You drive trains for FS not open heart surgery on babies or making the big decisions. I could drive a train and I've never done it. Gauranteed
Cracking interview 😆👏👏👏
Go on Steve mate 👍
One gob sh1 te (you), supporting an even bigger gob sh 1te ( Hedley)
This guys a joke think he should go to Palestinian and fight for what he believes in!
The army would do a better job than the people right now? How dare she say that! No appreciation for the people that are on the ground working on the rails and if the army could do the job they would step in and there wouldn't be any delays. It's really sad.
Sniped with the Autocue lol
Goodness what a dogs dinner of a speech by this man. Nothing constructive to say.
I know, Tice has never had anything constructive to say ! Ever ! You are SPOT on. Steve is a star !
Fire em all, replace them with the unemployed, couple of weeks worth of training and job done! uncle festa thinks he's a rocket scientist!
Quality TV - more of this please 😂
HITF did this girl get the job she has?
Steve Hedley is an embarrassment
send him to palestine dixk haed
makes a change from calling someone a racist I suppose 😆. That's all they've got, fascist, racist, sexist. It's so pathetic because he had some good points but once you start going down this childish path, forget it. He's not best mate with Harold is he?
This guy’s style of challenging his interviewers reminds me a bit of Johnny Rotten when he was younger! Although, this guy has much more to say than John.
Love it. Let’s hope more people call out the ridiculous lines of questioning that seek to maintain the status quo!
Ah Johnny Rotten: Irish blood, English heart, Californian mansion. At least he doesn't have to worry about getting anywhere on a British train these days.
@@MartyMolloy I never said Johnny Rotten was a good guy. I was pointing out the “question the question” style of stripping the pretence away from propagandists.
I actually stated that this guy has much more to say than John.
This is brilliant!!!
Most worrying thing is a large number of people think Steve is really clever and knows exactly what he's talking about. They are equally ignorant and even worse, proud of it.
He's right.
As a partisan, the guest doesn’t convince me in believing in communism, a starter he doesn’t come as a genuinely nice guy.
.. Does he have to come across as that????.. that is not a requirement for the job he does.. you think she is nice?.. she's attractive, but she's a piece of work, clearly
@@imemine6494 the guy doesn’t convince me that these communists are the nice guys, neither do the capitalists convince they’re the nice guys either… still waiting
@@sebastiandalessandro4221.. Why does he have to be???.. and how do you define, a nice guy?
@@imemine6494 a nice guy to me is being respectful, not demeaning and patronizing like this guy came across as soon as he opened his mouth.
