      But does raise questions. I mean self drive cars are close. Those are self contained within the car. The car reads signs , sees people etc on the road.
      So would have thought self drive trains far easier .. fixed route and scenery.
      I mean a mid range phone is say £200 .. 2 plus cameras, gps, 4g, wifi even internal battery. So run driverless prototype in parallel with current manned trains .. lear on the job / prove case ? As mick lynch says .. still have someone on the train .. who can be alerted (wifi n mobile ?) To situations to call / veto a stop. At that point link remotely to one skilled train driver to tale over ?

      Class difference.
      Barristers must be a better class than railworkers. They are professionals who use their brains. They are therefore more deserving of an income commensurate with their status.
      Rail workers are interchangeable drones who do physical work. Definitely lesser beings who should know their place. When not working they should retire to their hovels until needed again. And they should be grateful to have those hovels.
      Anyone old enough will recall the delightful 'class' sketch with John Cleese and the two Ronnies. It was satirical, but ... Alas, 40 years on, it is still reality. England is still riddled with appallingly stultifying class differences.
      Mick Lynch is feted for wiping the floor with all establishment comers. He has a nimble mind. It is the only weapon he requires. Well, that and truth. But the point I am making is that he is not justly famous because he holds his opponents to account. He is also famous because he does it in the wrong accent.
      England is in a pitiful state.

      @@paulhudson5587 The point is 1.The amount of profits made by the companies are not going back into the businesses to improve them. 2. Those working at the bottom for companies are often on minimum wage and without them there would be no business. 3. Those at the top are getting much bigger pay rises than those at the bottom. E.g. If a CEO's wage is £250,000 per year and they get a 2% payrise that's an increase of £5,000 (more if based on share profits) in 1 year. If a worker at the bottom earning £20,000 per year received an 11% payrise in line with inflation they would get a pay increase of £2,000. However, quite often (if a company gives a pay rise) they usually will pay the ones on the bottom 3% or less. So if the ones at the bottom are on £20,000 per year get a 3% pay rise that's only an extra £600 per year ( approx £11 per week) before tax. So after tax, national insurance and pension contributions it's even less. Increasing wages at the bottom will hit the profits of big companies and the pockets of those raking it in at the top. Why should those at the bottom have to resort to using foodbanks and not be able to afford to heat their homes and pay their rents when those at the top can and do cream off the profits to line their own pockets?

    When O'Brien said "he wasn't just a hero, he was a union man." He meant Mick Lynch.

    I am aghast at the total incompetence and lack of understanding demonstrated by these politicians. No wonder we are in such a bad state. Tories and Truss thick as Mince.

    I love the way you can see the guy in the backgrounds arms wobble as he chuckles when Mick asks about putting the Chancellors budget to a referendum ... 0:45

    The most honest and reasonable man in British politics. I do not always agree with him (the Brexit fiasco etc.) but his ability to present a case, calmly, with Real knowledge of the details and thereby resist the govt. cant and spin is extraordinary. We need many more like Mick.

    Huw Merrimen " I was negotiator for many years" Well say hello to Mick his negotiation skills way bejond yours. Huw you were well schooled. Fantastic Mick poetry in action and more to the point you enjoy when have to correct the smart Alex's lack of choice to address and admit other side of same coin.

    Articulate, calm, factual. Such a contrast to the MPs corporate driven double talk. Free speech is not the same as false speech.

    I'd love to see Mick face off against the Oxford debating society first XI team which would include Johnson, Rees-Mogg and Liz Truss.
    Lynch would wipe the floor with these tory failures.

      He would become a national hero, while the establishment would be humiliated.
