Mick Lynch sticks it to the BBC

[CHUCKYPIG]

Relevant here as he references postal workers basically saying that the BBC are just parroting the right wing press (Mail, Sun, Telegraph) etc. in sticking up for the government and the millionaire company owners and not sticking up for working people.

I do think that the BBC is biased towards royal mail plc and against posties in the rubbish that they print about 9% payrise etc. when it isn't a 9% payrise.

Do people think Mick Lynch was right or wrong?

100 % right. About time.

So glad I stopped paying my tv license.

Dave Ward pulled the beeb up about their bias only last week.
Both Dave and Mick are spot on.

And they say the BBC has left wing tendencies, what a joke, seem to back up the establishment here!!

Don’t confuse liberals and left-wing politics.

I listened and thought to myself it's about time Mick told the mainstream media how it is. There always thinking it's the union that causes the problems but all we are asking for is a reasonable pay and conditions, but they always put a spin on the media coverage about pay all the time.

I don't consider that Mick was evading the question, unlike many of the Politicians we hear ..."Well I'm glad you asked that question" ... "That's a Very Good question and you deserve an answer".... "What I would like to draw you attention to" ..... "Surely the question we should be discussing"

She was just getting her knickers in a twist because he wasn't letting her get her question in. Nice to see a interviewer uncomfortable for a change.

Sorry. He has nothing to do with our dispute. Only adds to the claims this is all political and makes any decent deal even more impossible. Our union should be getting the best deal for us not taking orders from puppet masters

It's a "Discussion" Forum Wullie. We can talk about ANYTHING we like, you'd be surprised some of the weird subjects that come up for "discussion".

Maybe all the unions get together and start a union TV,watch the establishment s**t themselves then.

Well discuss this. If by a miracle RM all of a sudden came up with a amazing deal. Not perfect it never is. But they gave us virtually everything we could dream of. So how would postmen feel if the deal was rejected because more and more people all other the country and other union leaders pressed the CWU not to accept any deal? A national strike was what they wanted? That wont happen surely? What I'm saying is our union should be pushing for the best deal for us.

They can never agree amongst themselves anyway

Postal workers

Teachers
Universities
Driving examiners
Civil servants
Airport workers

Are all striking to name a few. Maybe, just maybe the Daily Express is wrong and it is the government's fault?

You need to look at the bigger picture.
