But this begged my neighbour mindset is profoundly depressing and one of the biggest causes of the Great Depression. You would think we had left that behind.
Context is a lot though, some people could be happy withouth a payrise if they were on £100k a year. Those on average/below average have slowly suffered more and more, but the caller gets it all wrong as he feels others should suffer like he has.
What gives the right of these going on strike by forcing other people unable to go to work and losing their jobs. Just because they can go on strike. A lot of jobs tell you if you late at least 3 times you are sacked. In the end people will no longer end up using a train.
Literally had first hand experience of being shafted by an employer due to having no workers rights but still believes that the Unions should have less powers to protect said rights. Seriously what are people on in this country?.
In Oz the slow decline in unions has seen the rise in lower and less payrises for years while profit margins have climbed steadily and wage theft has also increased
@@christopherbell2091 media & governments manage to convince enough people that they are on their side and the people fighting for your rights are the enemy.
Is he Jealous or is he in denial of the fact that he was taken advantage of? it was kinda sad listening to him defend his employers who took advantage of him by blaming himself.
I think both. And added to that there appears to be an inability to learn from experience. He was basically saying that he is still being treated the same way as when he was in the forces.
I’m flabbergasted at the idea of a British military officer complaining about been binned off by the military (which typically happens to most junior officers anyway since senior officer positions are limited). When it comes to the armed forces veterans I feel sorry for it’s more likely to be the working class 18 year olds who were made triple amputees following the orders of men like this.
I've never heard someone jump through so many hoops to go from complaining about having been unfairly dismissed, to defending that dismissal just because his original point was completely dismantled in front of him.
It seems the man is hellbent on not being a victim, which is fine when trying to avoid being exploited in future, but this one seems to have extended that to denying past exploitation happened or is a problem. It's barmy.
As a 19 y/o Cadet he wished he had had more support yet he hates the Unions who are giving a 19 year old Railway worker support. Life is swings and roundabouts. Move on.
I am a Tanker Driver and I am a member of Unite. I would never not be in a Union as a ruthless employer can basically do whatever they like and you have no recourse to protect your livelihood. The biggest crime here is that Unions are being portrayed as the bad guys. They are brilliant and give fantastic support to their members. I am 100% behind the Railway Unions.
I'm 56 now and been in various industries and the first thing I do is find out which union the sector is in and join that union. Bosses can be complete and utter ar..h0les at times and behave like selfish little kids that want ALL the toffees for themselves. They forget they're employing your services and paying you for it so you can house feed clothe and pay your bills but they seem to forget this fact and think only they matter in the equation nevermind your giving the best part of your waking hours of the day to HELP them grow their business so you ALL benefit. Greedy bosses are rife nowadays because they take their cues from those higher up and those in power who leach off us all.
I work in the NHS and also tell people to join a union as you never know when you will get into trouble and need free legal advice . Which unions provide .

he absolutely was...the things that the army expects private soldiers to do for what is barely over minimum wage is utterly disgusting...especially when you consider what those monsters like Blackwater get paid for doing the same thing (albeit in a much more barbaric and cartoonishly evil way).
Taken advantage of by society as a whole I would say. A couple of exploitative employers alone cannot be enough to result in Stockholm syndrome as acute as this. The idea that people from certain backgrounds should shut up and know their place is so ingrained in British culture that many people probably don't realise how insane and toxic it is.
Well, the guy was an officer in the Royal Army. Did you expect anything else? In the dutch forces there is a union. And it works. Ok, striking is not allowed but there are more methods.
I must admit...the brief pause he took to consider the accusation of jealousy, and the absence of any temper tantrum gives me hope that this chap does actually have a brain and will come to a more realistic conclusion given time.
He’s sunk his whole life into justifying the actions of his betters, to admit he’s wrong now would be to admit his whole life is a lie, his mind will do anything to avoid that.
The last gasp defence of someone losing an argument is whataboutery. This caller"s ludicrous analogy about the surgeon perfectly examplifies this. James is right - he's just jealous
yes he is a mad and jealous gammon who needs to put a soothing ring of delmonte pineapple on his head to cool down. You can't have a well done gammon without pineapple.............
@@stevenbox4523 The analogy of jealousy/Toxy race to the bottom says if the young Doctors are being underpaid, use this to justify underpaying Train drivers and all other jobs. Three things that the Toxy party stand for; 1, Never look at what a company can afford to pay, 2. Never consider what is fair, 3.Never share profits with company's"most important resource". Look up the way the union movement was set up. The short version- To challenge the Toxy parties race to the bottom.
Imagine rationalizing your mistreatment at the hands of your employer, by saying "well, stuff changes, and I have to adapt to my employer treating me like disposable garbage".
That was absolutely brilliant. So many people need to have that conversation in this country. His resistance was futile and I think the penny dropped , even if he won't admit it. High five James!
I work in the utility sector, we have a union and they negotiate new terms/pay every 3-4 years with our employer and what they have managed to get me and my colleagues in the last 8 years has been phenomenal. Everyone needs a union, we deserve to be treated like humans, never let our employer take advantage, without us they would not survive.
Yes as James said millions of jealous people will harm working class people like themselves rather than let their peers be treated fairly as they are not
I had 30 + years in the rail industry and I am amazed by these people who think they know all about the people in the industry. However I have not heard anyone yet mention the basic income of a track worker which is on average £22,000 per annum?
@jim Cartner......in London its £40,000 but regardless of that try and get a job on British rail!... You've no chance, that's how badly their treated!!!!
@@englanduk6131 clearly you are an expert on the subject. Apart from the massive error you made. British rail haven’t existed for about 30 years. So I wouldn’t take your word for the salary being 40k either
When do commies get valid points across. The very Unions that claim to represent the workers go along with the Labour Party. The Unions will strike against the Conservative party and the moment Labour are in power they will not strike even though work conditions and economic conditions are effectively the same and in many cases worse.
Hurt people hurt people, as the expression says. We wear our traumas as a badge of honor and forget that our attachment to our own pain makes us subconsciously inflict it on others. I'm willing to suffer any inconvenience due to a worker strike. Every worker deserves protection. James handles this with so much compassion.
Brainwashed tory voters have the ability to hold two totally conflicting opinions at the same time and end up voting against their own very real needs in favour of the mega rich and big corporations and tory handouts to cronies, ie corruption.
He is a patronising, smug, elite, EU loving champagne quaffing socialist wannabe. His passive aggressive approach in dehumanising callers who speak out against the so called James O' Brien narrative is truly nauseating!
If we all acted like this man, we would have have no maternity pay, no paid annual leave, no sick pay. How do workers who indulge in all these rights think they got them? Through the workers before us that fought for them. Just a few days ago Liz Truss made it clear she wanted to cut public sector pay. Yes, she denied it a couple of hours after she was caught out, but make no mistake, this is the plan going forward. Jacob Rees Mogg calls 'flexi- work', 'part time work for full time pay'. So all you people who do flexi hours and are probably do more hours then you used to do, he thinks you're lazy. You don't have to like Kier Starmer, you just have to know that he won't be taking away what the Conservative government consider your 'privileges' .
Having served in the military myself, I can confirm that officers have their heads completely in the clouds 99% of the time. Explains this guys opinion.
@@chriswheal8204 no your description is more like Piers Morgan. James uses patience and empathy as much as he can. Those are tactics of people who try to help others. You're describing someone trying to boost their own ego. Hence Morgan
@@keldsleepnot7961 he exhibits very little patience or empathy in this conversation, if i was having a conversation with someone and being empathetic i wouldnt say or repeat “i’m not trying to embarrass you here mate” he’s incredibly condescending. and then the caller raises an interesting point, the military and surgeons can’t strike because they are essential services, to what extent are national rail services essential services? there’s a conversation to be had there but james pivots away and gets back to calling the guy jealous and bitter.
@@chriswheal8204 mate if he was going around ambushing random people on the street you might have a point. But people are choosing to call up and deliberately flaunt their own ignorance, arrogance and naivety. You call him arrogant but I think these callers are far more arrogant calling up a national radio station being so completely clueless about what they are talking about (maybe less this guy but some people call up shouting confidently about things that are objectively and verifiable wrong) and just assume that their opinions are equal to or worth more than that of experts or people who actually know what they are talking about. And when they get called on it they get upset and talk about sneering elites. Like they don’t support public school politicians and indulge in inverted snobbery
Fair play to the guy, he stayed calm and was trying to be reasonable. It seems though that he called up without really knowing in any great depth what his feelings on the matter were, and JOB did a great job in steering him the right direction

This bloke backtracking on the idea of being exploited himself is a real-time demonstration of the formation of the working class conservative mindset.
This is the kind of person that contributes to society getting worse. It's the whole idea of "I didn't have it, so why should they" but they are so in denial of it they can't see it clearly. Instead of that bs, it should be "I didn't have this support and representation, but I must help the next generation so they could have what I didn't" I bet his stance would be a lot different if he had a son/daughter working for the railways or the NHS and had the first hand experience of seeing them struggle. The lack of empathy baffles me.
Once I saw on the news about all these strikes I was fuming. Then I stopped and thought about it and all the unfairness of things and in the space of 2 mins I completely changed my mind. This country is heading for a clash between the classes, and the underdog needs to win it.
@@sswwooppee Translation: He doesn't care about others because he's doing well for himself and frequently acquieses to those he perceives to be his betters.
I think there are many in this country that believe we should garner solidarity through collective suffering . JOB has dissected that notion in this segment. I'm grateful to hear it put across so succinctly. Well done that man.
I listened to this live today on the radio. I was so disappointed with this man. He got kicked out of the army after years and he said that was his own fault for being too young and not understanding the terms and conditions. Shown no Compassion, for anyone else in the same situation. Not ever one is equal, some people wouldn’t be able to understand all the fine print even if they tried to. But with a man like this, he would say too bad. Many people think that our employers have our best interests at heart they still might want to get the most work out of us that they can but they don’t want us to be in danger or to rip us off. But simply not the case anymore and it’s government support the workers losing their rights. This man answer is it’s too bad they have to understand that things change and they have to change with them. The kindness and understanding coming from this man is unbelievable and incredibly sad. He states he’s not had a pay rise in 8 years and by what I can tell he’s ok with that. So if he’s in such a wage he doesn’t need to ask for more or expect to get more , shows he either has enough money or doesn’t think he’s worth more. It’s been a long time since I hear someone who sounds intelligent sound so cruel. He doesn’t think people should try and protect their jobs and livelihoods it’s not just about wages. It’s about being able to afford to live and having a job that’s Secure. Everything about this man , is so sad , because people with his attitude is what’s turning the U.K. into this awful nasty Country. Which is being pulled apart by two types of people. People with empathy for others against people with no empathy for others. What a sad place we now live in.
I think he won't admit he was vulnerable and exploited because that disagrees with his self image. It threatens his self image, so he acts to protect it. Men have to be willing to admit vulnerability so that they can deal correctly with their exploitation.
He didn't get kicked out of the army; the length of a short service commission is a maximum of 8yrs. Junior officers can apply for an extended commission after 2 years of service with the recommendation of their senior officers but there's only so many handed out a year, he chose to bide his time and was beaten in the running by someone better and brighter bringing his contract to an end. When a subaltern gets an extended commission it's a big thing drinks all round moment in their career so to claim he wasn't aware of this is BS imo.
Listen to his posh voice. My guess is he earns a fortune anyway. Ex officer and all that. He's an idiot that has a sheltered life and thinks workers should have no rights.
Why do people join the armed forces? Lack of work in the area they live in? The kudos of wearing a uniform? If anything comes of this poor chap’s experience then there will be far fewer people applying for jobs.
I'm glad this point was addressed because I hear people express the idea too often. Just because they're treated poorly by their employers they believe other people should be treated poorly in their work too.
I served six years in the armed forces, under the same conditions as this individual but I wholeheartedly support the right of workers to take what action they need to take to secure what they need, to continue working in the service of both the employer and the country.
A prime example of the crab at the bottom of the bucket. Sees another crab trying to make it's way up to escape and grabs its legs and pulls it down again.
Poor guy. He’s completely misdirected and ended up on the wrong side, he’s exactly the type of guy who should be on the side of the strikers and the unions (and probably should one himself) instead he’s attacking those that have rather then the people who actually wronged him
...and he'll keep voting Tory because he thinks he's a class above people like the railway workers. He's what we in Australia contemptuously call the aspirational class. Because he's got more of an RP accent and ex-military he's one step away from tea with the Queen. That's where HE should be. Plus there's too many brown people in the UK now hurrrr.
The I'll informed caller is running in circles grasping at straws. and seemingly getting more and more confused by the minute about what's right or wrong
@@abegarfield7030 intriguing take. What about how he describes it gives it away? I've never been in the military so wouldn't have the foggiest. So please don't think this is an attempt at catching you out. It isn't. Genuinely interested.
I love the way James simply makes people explain what they are saying. It’s unbelievable how many arguments fall apart when someone takes the time to think about what comes out their mouth.
This is a nation that has never got the stink of feudalism out of its pores. It reeks of quixotic notions of its history and refuses EVERY DAY to confront those demons. This historical amnesia has people within this current epoch making excuses for slavery, feudalism, violent subjugation. What a repressed group of losers they are. The few whom dare to attempt to strive for l improved conditions must fight for it. Keep going.
Yes, as long as it's 'Those People". Who, of course, aren't *really* people. Don't expect that definition to remain static, though; it changes as fits the fascist's personal convenience in any given moment.
James made the same point a few months ago on this subject and the penny dropped with me as a listener, hearing him make the same point to this guy I was waiting for him to accept it too
You gotta hand it to the tories, they have gotten spinning the narrative down to a fine art... And the end result is millions of people like this caller who are angry because other people are daring to demand better. The question shouldn't be why are the rail workers striking - the question should be, why arent you?
This call epitomises little England. Either "I'm alright" or "I've been mistreated" so everyone should be resigned to the same fate. It's abhorrent. We're so accustomed to sneering down our noses at others we'd willingly s*** on that we simply don't care or bother to look up and see the amount we've already and continue to be s*** on. As long as we continue to undervalue ourselves, thus allowing those with much greater wealth to exploit us, we will forever continue to undervalue the work of others on the same level, while greedy pigs keep at the trough.
It is both frightening and sad to listen to an obviously intelligent guy fight his own intelligence so hard because somebody told him to.
I would disagree that this guy is intelligent. He was clearly an officer.
I also disagree, he is not the sharpest tool in the box. He is also quite obviously a brainwashed Tory sympathiser and will do as he is told by his perceived betters. If this idiot had his way it would be a race to the bottom and poverty wages for everyone other than the ruling classes.

Context is a lot though, some people could be happy withouth a payrise if they were on £100k a year. Those on average/below average have slowly suffered more and more, but the caller gets it all wrong as he feels others should suffer like he has.
No, that's the point for him. Envy all the way.
What gives the right of these going on strike by forcing other people unable to go to work and losing their jobs. Just because they can go on strike. A lot of jobs tell you if you late at least 3 times you are sacked. In the end people will no longer end up using a train.
Literally had first hand experience of being shafted by an employer due to having no workers rights but still believes that the Unions should have less powers to protect said rights. Seriously what are people on in this country?.

Is he Jealous or is he in denial of the fact that he was taken advantage of? it was kinda sad listening to him defend his employers who took advantage of him by blaming himself.
I think both. And added to that there appears to be an inability to learn from experience. He was basically saying that he is still being treated the same way as when he was in the forces.
Victim mentalitu
“Country to it’s knees”?!?! 😂😂😂 bruh, where the 🤬 are we NOW??? Where are we now?
I’m flabbergasted at the idea of a British military officer complaining about been binned off by the military (which typically happens to most junior officers anyway since senior officer positions are limited).
When it comes to the armed forces veterans I feel sorry for it’s more likely to be the working class 18 year olds who were made triple amputees following the orders of men like this.
I've never heard someone jump through so many hoops to go from complaining about having been unfairly dismissed, to defending that dismissal just because his original point was completely dismantled in front of him.
It seems the man is hellbent on not being a victim, which is fine when trying to avoid being exploited in future, but this one seems to have extended that to denying past exploitation happened or is a problem. It's barmy.
As a 19 y/o Cadet he wished he had had more support yet he hates the Unions who are giving a 19 year old Railway worker support. Life is swings and roundabouts. Move on.

I am a Tanker Driver and I am a member of Unite. I would never not be in a Union as a ruthless employer can basically do whatever they like and you have no recourse to protect your livelihood. The biggest crime here is that Unions are being portrayed as the bad guys. They are brilliant and give fantastic support to their members. I am 100% behind the Railway Unions.
I am 82 and have joined UNITE! Just to support them.
I'm 56 now and been in various industries and the first thing I do is find out which union the sector is in and join that union. Bosses can be complete and utter ar..h0les at times and behave like selfish little kids that want ALL the toffees for themselves.
They forget they're employing your services and paying you for it so you can house feed clothe and pay your bills but they seem to forget this fact and think only they matter in the equation nevermind your giving the best part of your waking hours of the day to HELP them grow their business so you ALL benefit.
Greedy bosses are rife nowadays because they take their cues from those higher up and those in power who leach off us all.
I work in the NHS and also tell people to join a union as you never know when you will get into trouble and need free legal advice . Which unions provide .

As an RMT member and proud patriot, I feel badly for the man. He was taken advantage of, and he deserves a pay rise.

Taken advantage of by society as a whole I would say. A couple of exploitative employers alone cannot be enough to result in Stockholm syndrome as acute as this. The idea that people from certain backgrounds should shut up and know their place is so ingrained in British culture that many people probably don't realise how insane and toxic it is.
He doesn't want one! He thinks junior Doctors get paid enough and train drivers need to get less.
Thank you James O'Brien for speaking the truth & calling out the Hypocrites.
Well, the guy was an officer in the Royal Army. Did you expect anything else? In the dutch forces there is a union. And it works. Ok, striking is not allowed but there are more methods.
Thanks for giving me a laugh James £59,000 for train drivers more than enough. 100% against the strikes.
James belongs to the most hypocritical side of the political divide.
I must admit...the brief pause he took to consider the accusation of jealousy, and the absence of any temper tantrum gives me hope that this chap does actually have a brain and will come to a more realistic conclusion given time.
He's not getting it !
I don’t think so. He just didn’t have a retort. He’ll just go away and try and find a sound bite he can use in response.
He does not sound unreasonable, it's great that an argument like this can play out without tempers flaring.
just when you think he might be getting there, he whips another Daily Mail headline out of his back pocket..... indoctrination runs deep.
He’s sunk his whole life into justifying the actions of his betters, to admit he’s wrong now would be to admit his whole life is a lie, his mind will do anything to avoid that.

Why is the analogy ludicrous?
@@stevenbox4523 The analogy of jealousy/Toxy race to the bottom says if the young Doctors are being underpaid, use this to justify underpaying Train drivers and all other jobs.

Look up the way the union movement was set up. The short version- To challenge the Toxy parties race to the bottom.

I work in the utility sector, we have a union and they negotiate new terms/pay every 3-4 years with our employer and what they have managed to get me and my colleagues in the last 8 years has been phenomenal. Everyone needs a union, we deserve to be treated like humans, never let our employer take advantage, without us they would not survive.
This is powerful and so accurate. James, you nailed this one.

He definitely is a master when it comes to this. No way I could articulate my point while simultaneously destroying so well.
@@Manchesterlad85 he's a master moaner.
When do commies get valid points across. The very Unions that claim to represent the workers go along with the Labour Party.
The Unions will strike against the Conservative party and the moment Labour are in power they will not strike even though work conditions and economic conditions are effectively the same and in many cases worse.
So you think the catastrophic consequences are wholly the responsibility of the unions? None on the other side?
During my two year Military National Service in the UK, I have not forgotten when I was told during that; "You do not think, we think for you!"
Hurt people hurt people, as the expression says. We wear our traumas as a badge of honor and forget that our attachment to our own pain makes us subconsciously inflict it on others.
I'm willing to suffer any inconvenience due to a worker strike. Every worker deserves protection. James handles this with so much compassion.
The caller has been gas lit by the media and politicians and still unable to reconcile the his. contradictions.

If we all acted like this man, we would have have no maternity pay, no paid annual leave, no sick pay. How do workers who indulge in all these rights think they got them? Through the workers before us that fought for them. Just a few days ago Liz Truss made it clear she wanted to cut public sector pay. Yes, she denied it a couple of hours after she was caught out, but make no mistake, this is the plan going forward. Jacob Rees Mogg calls 'flexi- work', 'part time work for full time pay'. So all you people who do flexi hours and are probably do more hours then you used to do, he thinks you're lazy.

@@chriswheal8204 mate if he was going around ambushing random people on the street you might have a point. But people are choosing to call up and deliberately flaunt their own ignorance, arrogance and naivety.

And when they get called on it they get upset and talk about sneering elites. Like they don’t support public school politicians and indulge in inverted snobbery
Fair play to the guy, he stayed calm and was trying to be reasonable. It seems though that he called up without really knowing in any great depth what his feelings on the matter were, and JOB did a great job in steering him the right direction
no thats the whole point the former officer came at it with feelings and emotions instead of fact and logic

Thank you James! Thank you!
He was an officer at 19. So I'd imagine he was already quite well off. Not many Ruperts from council estates.
Probably an aspect of why he feels a level of superiority to train drivers; as he was of "officer class"
Wow! Brilliantly done James. He will come around when he's alone and the conversation sinks in.
This bloke backtracking on the idea of being exploited himself is a real-time demonstration of the formation of the working class conservative mindset.
I absolutely love the way James is able to turn it completely around and get right to the heart of the callers prejudice.
This is the kind of person that contributes to society getting worse. It's the whole idea of "I didn't have it, so why should they" but they are so in denial of it they can't see it clearly.
Instead of that bs, it should be "I didn't have this support and representation, but I must help the next generation so they could have what I didn't"
I bet his stance would be a lot different if he had a son/daughter working for the railways or the NHS and had the first hand experience of seeing them struggle.
The lack of empathy baffles me.
It always comes out in the end... well done for yet again exposing the internal conflict and hypocrisy on this caller's position

I think there are many in this country that believe we should garner solidarity through collective suffering . JOB has dissected that notion in this segment. I'm grateful to hear it put across so succinctly. Well done that man.
I listened to this live today on the radio. I was so disappointed with this man. He got kicked out of the army after years and he said that was his own fault for being too young and not understanding the terms and conditions. Shown no
Compassion, for anyone else in the same situation. Not ever one is equal, some people wouldn’t be able to understand all the fine print even if they tried to. But with a man like this, he would say too bad. Many people think that our employers have our best interests at heart they still might want to get the most work out of us that they can but they don’t want us to be in danger or to rip us off. But simply not the case anymore and it’s government support the workers losing their rights. This man answer is it’s too bad they have to understand that things change and they have to change with them. The kindness and understanding coming from this man is unbelievable and incredibly sad. He states he’s not had a pay rise in 8 years and by what I can tell he’s ok with that. So if he’s in such a wage he doesn’t need to ask for more or expect to get more , shows he either has enough money or doesn’t think he’s worth more. It’s been a long time since I hear someone who sounds intelligent sound so cruel. He doesn’t think people should try and protect their jobs and livelihoods it’s not just about wages. It’s about being able to afford to live and having a job that’s Secure. Everything about this man , is so sad , because people with his attitude is what’s turning the U.K. into this awful nasty Country. Which is being pulled apart by two types of people.
People with empathy for others against people with no empathy for others.
What a sad place we now live in.
I think he won't admit he was vulnerable and exploited because that disagrees with his self image. It threatens his self image, so he acts to protect it. Men have to be willing to admit vulnerability so that they can deal correctly with their exploitation.
He didn't get kicked out of the army; the length of a short service commission is a maximum of 8yrs. Junior officers can apply for an extended commission after 2 years of service with the recommendation of their senior officers but there's only so many handed out a year, he chose to bide his time and was beaten in the running by someone better and brighter bringing his contract to an end. When a subaltern gets an extended commission it's a big thing drinks all round moment in their career so to claim he wasn't aware of this is BS imo.
Listen to his posh voice. My guess is he earns a fortune anyway. Ex officer and all that. He's an idiot that has a sheltered life and thinks workers should have no rights.
Unless you left the country twenty years ago (I should have made it fifty). Why be a victim? You poor sods.
Why do people join the armed forces? Lack of work in the area they live in? The kudos of wearing a uniform? If anything comes of this poor chap’s experience then there will be far fewer people applying for jobs.
I really do wish Paul the best and hope he really reflects on this,
Problem in the UK of people not wanting to lift others up
This is one of the most satisfying things I have ever experienced. Man oh man.
Well done Sir. PRECISELY!!!!. WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON OUR RIGHTS AS WORKING CLASS PEOPLE TO STRIKE.
James, you nailed it.👍
I'm glad this point was addressed because I hear people express the idea too often. Just because they're treated poorly by their employers they believe other people should be treated poorly in their work too.
I served six years in the armed forces, under the same conditions as this individual but I wholeheartedly support the right of workers to take what action they need to take to secure what they need, to continue working in the service of both the employer and the country.

Poor guy. He’s completely misdirected and ended up on the wrong side, he’s exactly the type of guy who should be on the side of the strikers and the unions (and probably should one himself) instead he’s attacking those that have rather then the people who actually wronged him
The first thing the forces do with people who join as officer, is remove the spine. Thats why NCO's are the back bone of the forces.
...and he'll keep voting Tory because he thinks he's a class above people like the railway workers. He's what we in Australia contemptuously call the aspirational class.
