Lunch is clearly not too clever or playing some populist corrupt game. He is a Brexiteer... And the reason? He opposed FOM.. A right he & his Brexit friends have taken away from us. . That's despite the evidence was FOM had very little effect on wage depreciation and that was outweighed by the positive advantages. There is a difference btwn a labor shortage and a labour surplus. Many Australians, including trade Unionists, in the 1950's objected to their government promoting immigration. They thought it depressed wages but there were too many vacancies.. Stopping immigration would only have meant wages rising in one area creating vacancies elsewhere as employees swooped jobs. Result? Wage inflation and if inflation is the answer to prosperity then Zimbabwe would now be mega rich. Secondly, the surge of East Europeans here was caused by the UK voluntarily letting them when the other major EU countries didn't. Poor from the collaspe of communism, of course many came but they overwhelmingly all worked, so we needed the labour. Now the East Europeans are richer & facing demographic decline. The surge was a one off. Voting to Leave to stop 'poor' East Europeans supposedly depressing wages was not so much bolting the stable door too late but burning down the stable. Brexit is bad for the UK and particularly bad for the North of England where people are poorer and will be made even poorer by Brexit..Already the country is trillions worse off... 🙄 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 How come "clever" Lynch dosent know that? 🤔

Blair made three mistakes. Minimum wage, Tax credits and allowing flood of Eastern European workers in. No I'm not racist. These same workers ended up being exploited and treated badly as well.

As for train passengers blocking stations etc I think you’ll find that the majority of people that were questioned by the MSM actually backed Mike, many said it’s about time someone actually stood up for the working man as Starmer certainly wasn’t going to !!! As Mike put it, people are sick watching the man at the top getting big fat bonuses and these owners making vast amounts of profits when the working man’s denied wage increases for years !!!!

Let’s not forget these owners intend implementing redundancies across the whole of the train sector, do you really believe that these train passengers will be taking their anger out in this sectors workers or where the real troubles are implemented from, higher up the chain, I think we will see more and more public sector workers follow in the footsteps of Mike !!!!

Great point. It's tempting to be cynical, and unhelpful to make comparisons between two different countries. However, when I lived in Britain, it felt like the same story only worse. The pay was similar between Oz and UK, only living costs in UK were horrendous. In the past 20 years though, the Oz Tories did a great job aiming towards a fractured, unequal US model. We just had a heap of independents elected, so I see a disillusionment with the Labor party. But the Labor leader, thankfully, ultimately prevailed because the alternative was so despicably rancid. Lynch made a great point that labor has lost its fire, and in moves populists. He is a breath of fresh air, and the best thing to happen to the Labor party. A wake up call.

@@pgl0897 You might be right, but I've worked on campaigns with folk who've had media training and there's a specific way that they talk (just listen to basically any politician from any party, eg.

Indeed we do. It also needs a lot of people to read "99%: Mass Impoverishment and How We Can End It" - Mark Thomas. It is full of solid evidence that we all need to call out the lies of the Tory Politicians. Basically Thatcherism has been all about taking power from working people and using it to grab their share of the UK's national income. It is not an accident of economic activity but a specific political policy.

@@kevincrossinggum5015 I know that Sky News Australia is owned by Murdoch, but Sky News in the UK is slightly different in that it is part of the Sky UK group as a whole, and although Murdoch may be a part owner (or major share holder) he doesn't have the same control over it.
