The voice of reason in this crazy, dystopia, for those who find some positivity through him like I do!
Maybe a PM worth £750m is simply incapable of the empathy required to find such a solution?He does speak a lot of sense. What I would say is he doesn't have to find solutions which government do. No that I support this government in any way, shape, or form. They still have to find solutions. You could, of course, argue that they aint even trying and that is a valid argument. You would then have to ask why? That one I don't know the answer to.
You know why, it's because it would take money out of their pockets, and give more power to their slaves (the working class).He does speak a lot of sense.

100%They're not trying because it's the only thing left they have to attack Labour with. They, perhaps correctly, believe that the longer this goes on and the longer they can associate it with Labour through attack lines the polls will close in their favour.
This may be true for the rmt but not for other public service folks. There isn't any profit from them.You know why, it's because it would take money out of their pockets, and give more power to their slaves (the working class).
The only way we will get a solution is if we start to redistribute the wealth, but to do that we can't have the Tories in power, and need something done about the right-wing press.
Great video and he's right putting an emoji on the Internet isn't going to change anything.
We need to be on the ground and need to be more active, picket lines, marches etc... we need to do more
There's profit in the NHS for the increasingly outsourced services and agency staff.This may be true for the rmt but not for other public service folks. There isn't any profit from them.
Interestingly enough neither the rmt nor the rcn donate to labour.
The key here is who are the ‘we’
The Tories have done a great job of getting more and more people with skin in the game.
Millions are in debt (mortgages et al) and have lots to lose if ithings go pear shaped.
They won’t, in general, put themselves in danger by going on the streets and risk getting arrested.
Poll tax was the seminal moment - the balance was the other way (or it felt like it) enough people had little to lose.
Mick talks for lots of us - just wonder how many are really prepared to do something.
Absolutely brilliant bloke. Calm, reasoned and sensible.
I voted Tory last time out and can’t fault a word he says. He is on the money all of the time. He rips seasoned politicians to bits.
I like the fact he has subtle digs at labour because there is no doubt that this government has been pants but for a long time so has labour. There has been no real opposition, no threat.
I don’t agree with some the rises asked for, 19% in the case of nurses is obscene.
I do agree fully that conditions should atleast stay the same and so should the numbers on the workforce.
I don't disagree. The issue with public sector pay is that it has been eroded over time. Any government would be slaughtered of they offered 19%. However promising 1.5% above inflation once we are out of recession and 5 our 6% today would probably do it.There's profit in the NHS for the increasingly outsourced services and agency staff.
And you have to remember that the very notion of the NHS is against the ideals of Thatcherism, which seems to be enjoying a huge resurgence amongst the Conservatives, including the PM.
There's profit going out the back door to their suppliers and service providers etc, and we all know how they get their contracts, and that there are kickbacks from those receiving them.This may be true for the rmt but not for other public service folks. There isn't any profit from them.

What is that 19% based on, is that the figure to catch up with inflation to the present day?I don't disagree. The issue with public sector pay is that it has been eroded over time.

He's talking about a solution throughout that video. Redistribution, taking the wealth back that has been taken away over the last four decades.He does speak a lot of sense. What I would say is he doesn't have to find solutions which government do. No that I support this government in any way, shape, or form. They still have to find solutions. You could, of course, argue that they aint even trying and that is a valid argument. You would then have to ask why? That one I don't know the answer to.
