- General Secretary of the RMT has said the government are running the country's public services into the ground.
Speaking to PoliticsJOE on Wednesday, Mick Lynch said plans to close ticket offices were a prime example of the Tories' raging war on the United Kingdom, to the detriment of the people living there.

Every word he said was true. Sunak couldn't care less about the general population. Total shambles.
Which presumably is why he provided massive financial support for families, employees and businesses during Covid. Whichat no time did Labour contradict...oh wait that means you are WRONG!
It’s not only Sunak. They have all been doing that for the last 12 years. I think the Tories have been dismantling the country since the 80s ( I also consider Blair a Tory).
@@adrianpyne2272hardly it’s a good cover though. You might wanna look up the financial services legislation that he is pushing through, and who he is connected with, or indeed, where his money is, his plans and the particular nature of which businesses his focus is on. Aside from bleeding dry, the public services and the failing to act on privatisation just consider the fact that corruption has tripled under Sunak, having already increased under May. It is it records unseen previously.
There is a vast cornucopia of reasons that demonstrate corruption, what is remarkable is how no one is reporting on these immense changes, which will essentially remove the protections that came into place after the financial crash.
So not only does he want to remove multitudes of rights, which make it cheaper for his companies that and his friends companies, far less safe workers, but actively remove financial protections, which, according to economists will put us in danger of another immense fast financial crash, but you know it will be well timed at least because they’ll be a labour government so Tories can then complain about that way into the future, if they are ever re-elected that is.
@adrianpyne2272 The proof will be in the pudding. Come back to me in 12 months and we will see where we are. Meanwhile party boy Sunak, his wife and the rest of the tories will continue to trash the economy, feather their own nests and laugh at the plebs from their mansions. I'm not saying labour are any better, they are all as bad as each other. Corrupt, self serving and they couldn't give two hoots about you. If you were broken down at the side of the road it would be me in the rain giving you a hand, I guarantee Sunak wouldn't stop to help.
Was mugged at a station 10 years ago, only one member of staff at ticket office, we had to lock ourselves inside ticket office after ; hours police still hadn’t turned up!!
The woman working at ticket office, woman’s partner turned up helped lock station up & after having talked it over she never returned to work!! Just wasn’t safe!!!
Mr Lynch is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. My opinion.
Keep up the good work, sir.
Mick Lynch is always right.
It isn't an opinion when it is a fact
It’s becoming more obvious every day,they can’t get the little decisions right, not even trying to hide the lies anymore, restrictions and debt everywhere. Now they’re attacking the children education/gender/trafficking. We are living under evil a lot of people need to literally wake up.
Fact doesn't need an opinion.
You guys really need to wake up & smell the coffee … why does the UK have the worst & most expensive railways with outdated inefficient rolling stock? The answer is simple - the Marxist/Leninist unions who refuse to recognise progress and changes in working practices - it is time to sack all of the strikers & declare the rail unions unlawful.
True words spoken Mick. This government don’t care about the workers who keep this country running, all they care about is lining the pockets of their rich friends, whilst key workers struggle to survive.
keeping the country running 🤣
How ? By going on strike after 2yrs of lock down and almost all industry had to close.
@@philiproscoe2968 The figures are far from "almost all"
@philliproscoe for your information I worked through out the lockdown and endangered my life ok by exposing myself to Covid 19 and yes I do deserve a pay rise and I do have the right to strike when I’ve been offered peanuts for a wage rise.
@@tkthebear984 they key word here is "deserve."
Not "earned."
This is why it goes wrong, coz you can "deserve" all you like, same as anybody else, but if you haven't generated money in the coffers how can you take money out of an empty pot ?
Dont confuse "right to strike," with "right to holidays," or " right to sick pay" etc.
@@eskimo4130 yes....."almost" and not "all."
That s why I said " almost all" or in other words, the majority.
Do RMT workers get charged extra for their food and petrol at Tesco then, coz they work for the railways ?
Governments should not have been allowed to privatise essential services such as water gas electricity transport and communication. It was so obvious what was going to happen. Shame on them. We need a new political party
You should have seen what those industries were like under state control. Failing, strike prone and requiring billions of taxpayers money to prop up
Yeah let the government run it 😂
@@lloydnaylor6113 'strike prone' oh no, workers of an industry want a better rate for their work, such a disaster. Maybe if some of those many excesses that these companies take were cut, they could afford to pay a satisfactory wage - which they can anyway.
@@kylejohns2685 train drivers on £65k a year for a four day week 🤔 times must be hard for the poor souls.
It was to line their own pockets living off the taxpayers. Money
Tory Britain is not only broken, it is being dismantled piece by piece. Excused and enabled by the Tory media. All credit to Mick.
Sadly, all those in so-called parliament are party to it. 650 of 'em. All with their fingers in the tax till. Public money to NGO's. Biggest theft in history continued. 40+ years of it.
The tories have turned into a smaller version of Labour.
They all but destroyed our once great country and one of the ace holes, actually left a note gloating at the fact that he and blair/brown had virtually bankrupted the country.
Don't think for one minute labour havnt help destroy this country.
They are all as bad as each other today and it's time for real change!!!
@@Samplaceholder what on earth are u talking about ya fool.
The media being right wing and tory is a total fallacy. The media as a whole is very very left wing.
If Brexit was enabled by the Tory media then Lynch got what he wanted, Brexit.
If Mick Lynch was going for PM I'd vote in a heartbeat. Always fighting for what's right.
Except brexit.
@Funny that, I voted for Brexit but would never vote Micky.
@ Was Brexit right? I'm not feeling the sovereignty

Agreed. However it's not just a British problem. The big man above is losing at the moment
I find this comment to be antisemitic in nature
absolutely
“This Country doesn’t work” - Spot on.
Well done Mick. I fully support and admire all your trying to do for the working class

Greed is destroying our society.
Absolutely. I can top trump you with thermo-nuclear war though.
It’s destroying all society.
Then we must destroy the greedy
How very true. The source for a lot of problems.
I remember watching parliament as a child thinking.. "All they do is argue the opposite, doing the right thing doesn't cone into it". Even when a Politician had a good idea, the opposition would veto it, just for the sake of underming their opponents. Sadly, nothing has changed, it's merely a game to them. Rees Mogg is obnoxious and in it for one person. Dianne Abbot can't do basic maths. Boris was a compulsive liar. Sunak doesn't know the first thing about the struggles people are having... at the homeless centre when he asked "are you in business" to a homeless man. Unbelievable. Angela Raynor - she opens her mouth and earns/demands zero respect, she's totally out of her depth with no ideas or response, it's like listening to a 12 year old on a school council meeting. Corbyn... he and his idiotic brother are frankly dangerous, I wouldn't be suprised If they were being covertly supported by China and Russia just to undermine our entire system. He genuinely wanted to get rid of our nuclear deterrent.
Thank goodness for someone defending the workers, unlike the 'Labour' Party 😢
What you mean sir K stammer. Who's already st*bbed Jeremy Corbyn in the back. So he could be prime minister. Just by that action. Proves that he cannot be trusted to run even a public house.
One of a few straight talking honest men in this country.
A perfect response from Mr. Lynch. He lives in the real world. Starmer would do well to listen to him. He represents many Labour supporters who are unhappy with the current direction of travel 😢 😢
Unfortunately Starmer is the 2nd biggest donator to the WEF! Rishi being the 1st!.... They are both working for the same man....
Mick Lynch is a BREXITEER hahaha
@@imastaycool Is he? That would be interesting. Kind of irrelevant at this point though.
@@falsum2701 irrelevant?
Brexit = less worker rights....
Still irrelevant? It's more ironic than irrelevant.
@@imastaycool No it's just that it's a fait accompli. Brexit is very bad, but it's done. No sense continuing to harp on it.
Corrupt is too nice a word for this government and indeed Parliament as a whole. I'd love to see the person who awarded Michelle Mone the contract to make PPE for the pandemic, prisoned, and for her to pay back every penny she made from this.
Totally agree - I am not on the left and think Government is horrendous, corrupt and useless. Mick Lynch has my support.
They will give jail time to the just stop oil or climate change people yet let all the Tory thieves live the high life and will not even have to pay a penny back. Absolutely disgrace and yes jail on bread and water would be too good for them
It's gone very quite since Mone's home was raided. What's happening there?
rightfuljohnny - I fully agree with you, I’m disabled without the assistance of people who work on the railway I will not be able to travel. This country is corrupt the rich get richer while the rest of us just get poorer.
Michelle money should be imprisoned too along with Johnson gove and actually most of the current and previous cabinets and may should be in front of a committee investigating grenfell and windrush properly
I've waited years to hear somebody say what Mick has said here so eloquently, if he was ever to run for prime minister he would have my vote.
De-staffing front line public services is utterly disgusting. As someone who’s worked in public services and now in need of them, people feel safe knowing there’s an actual human being to speak to that can assist them. From the elderly, disabled, young people, people whose first language isn’t English, people from all over the world need this vital service. Automation of everything does not work.
This government has effectively bled every possible penny it can out of this country, and we, the working class, are paying for their greed.
And the comment section has been full of poignant comments such as this ever since. Rather than protesting on the streets, fighting for our country's future. Rather than tearing corrupt mps from their decadent seats.
I'm sure your 60+ likes will change the country.

And still they keep voting for the same people while cheering on the latest thing.
@@fsociety.dat101 The hypocrisy is fervent.
@@fsociety.dat101 loss of balls.
Remember when they denied that this was their plan
It’s been going on for years, doesn’t make it any better. Some booking offices are only open from 6am - 9am and then later on 3pm - 7pm or something. I personally think it’s disgusting but hey, closing booking offices to save money but continuing to make a profit?! What.
Hallelujah! A guy who comes onto the broadcast media and gives straight, clear answers to the questions.
Politics Joe is NOT "broadcast media" the don't have a Television channel or time slot on a "broadcast" television channel.
For sure Politics Joe is now more mainstream than the broadcast TV of old... But broadcast it is not.
@@Anon-xd3cf Thanks for putting me right on that really significant point.
I'm British and couldn't be more proud of Mick and the members. Please keep it up, don't let these conmen win.
His comments about oligarch's is absolutely spot on, multi millionaires become politicians to ensure that the system works for them and their mega rich cronies, It's been that way for centuries, the rich protect their own and the rest of us bedamned...
And who vote for these multi millionaires, the general public who are going to be screwed by them, wake up people👹
Of course we are living in a corrupt country
you say of course, and of course to the people it matters to to want to know and understand these things, we do already know. but it takes people like mick with a very large public platform and voice to help raise that understanding to the national level. he's saying it for the people who don't yet know so that, maybe together, the rest of us have a fairer shake of it!
Yes it does. I'm a strong beleiver of unions. They're support for working people. .I was greatful for they're support when needed. Mick is the last of his kind.
@@abdulSpruce of course
Only the corrupt would claim we are not living in a corrupt country. Bozo's banana republic without banana's
Everyone should take care of this man .He is a rarity .His honesty his decency, his sound speech his eloquence , his intelligence
and the way he stands for the people makes him almost unique .
Well said
Vomit
So refreshing to hear truths spoken. Thank you Mick.
Bang on. It stinks. The rich and priveliged should be banned from politics. Boardrooms and politics shouldn't be mixed
You notice there is hardly a politician who will stand next to him and argue there case, i wonder why he wipes the floor with the lot of them.
Well said Mick, I support you and the unions all the way, please, please don’t ever give-in to this corrupt 🤬 government thank you♥️👍👍
One of the most measured, thoughtful and considerate people in public office! It's quite something that you NEVER see Mick Lynch agitated, aggressive or flustered. He never stumbles, mumbles or fumbles for an answer unlike Spineless Sunak - the man supposed to be in complete control at all times - in fact just a self-serving invertebrate!
And Starmer, who wouldn't be seen dead on a picket line.
This government is disgusting !! I agree totally , with Mick . People ARE being replaced with talking machines , who cannot help you IF required . You CANNOT have a conversation with a machine . The ticket areas will become hostile areas ( drunks , druggies and thief areas ) in quiet times . It is vile to see the street beggers and drunks at bus stations and railway terminals now , and there manned . I detest automated ticket machines . Some are an A level to understand ..
Happening across the West. Decades of open borders Globalisation has hollowed out the West. Unfortunately both Left and Right have embraced open borders Globalisation and have no solutions.
Labour would be even worse with the fence-sitter as boss.
I won’t use these cold, empty, local stations inhabited by machines and odd people. So I don’t go out much although l get free rail travel! Life under the Tories has become more isolated for the elderly. I wish Mick would stand as a councillor and then MP. Imagine him and Corbyn at the helm? Life would be worth living.
@@laravonstaden1838 a completely unprovable assertion. The economy is in ruins, the country is bankrupt, corruption is everywhere, infrastructure is collapsing and healthcare doesn't work...what could be worse? Do tell
@@paulwalker797 Well, Labour haven’t got in yet, have they? Look at it as a prediction, if that makes you feel more comfortable.
I spent my married life under Margaret Thatcher and it was beyond stress which still affect me today.lots of people give her a lot of credit for dismantling the union, well here we are today workers have no protection.
Thatcher said Mandela was a terrorist
@@georgerickman9314 because privatised energy water health and transport is going so well! 😂😂
Thatcher, Tebbit and the like were bloody awful
That's why nothing is being done about profiteering, it's helping to line the pockets of shareholding Tories while everyone else suffers.
People have to listen to Mick and give him more support publicly because he is on our side - he is spot on about everything especially about the corruption. Rise up and show more support for this man - he is brave enough to be speaking for thousands of us. Do It!
He leads our union well sats it as it is.
Lynch is just another oligarch do not be fooled and endgame is destruction of public transport by both sides. This is why there is no sign of a settlement by both sides.
I've never seen anything like this government. They aren't even trying to hide their greed or their contempt for us.
They know their time is up so they’re doing as much damage as they can while they still can.
I've never seen such a weak opposition either.

@emsspacex In the meantime King Charles, not content with "earning" £86,000,000 a year has now had his "wages" increased to £124,000,000. That means he has a current income of £331,000 a day, at present. Just think about that for a moment!
I see you're in Glasgow and are lucky to live in Scotland. People think most English people don't mind supporting the monarchy, but the truth is there's no choice. The poverty in the UK is rife and food banks can't manage anymore. The wages have stagnated for so long that people are worse off every year. It's unsustainable. No wonder so many people are angry and tired of these nonsense politicians.
On a brighter note, I like your comments I have seen. Sounds like you are really committed to improving your body and mind goals. Have you always had this outlook or have you learned it along the way? Best wishes from South west.
As always this man is telling the average Joe what is really happening which in some cases its hard to believe how disgusting this country has gotten shameful well done Mick
Thanks for speaking the TRUTH this country is turning into a s-- hole very well spoken lovely clear speech from Mick.
As a tourist I cannot tell you how many times I stopped to ask for info and how great the workers were.
Just nailed it with that statement” it’s a transfer of wealth” from the many to the few. You are so so right Mr Lynch
This is totally chilling , we can’t as a nation just sleep walk into this , when are we all going to stand up en mass and say No

Amen. I can't believe no one else says this publicly.
He and the staff he represents are trying to say to the public, 'we do not want you to have a depopulated, unsafe rail system or station'. I feel that I owe them a huge thank you for making this known because otherwise it would happen and we the public would be shocked to find that there were no staff and our stations vacant.
Well said Mick. It's very refreshing to hear someone telling the truth about this government and their aims.
Hear hear , what a splendid speech that was Mick. You are a great leader of your union and great man . What we need are more great politicians with your insight , courage and sense of truth. 🤘

It's hilarious when you go to a station with the electronic ticket turnstiles and they have to be manned because they don't work 😂😂😂
Got a ticket on the Heathrow express the other day. Electronic ticket machine didn't work but a helpful lady with a ticketing machine around her waist was there to sell me a ticket. I suggested to her that Britain needed to invent the ticketing office. She replied that they used to have one but they got rid of it and turfed her out onto the platforms with her strap on machine. I was then helped though the turnstiles, as you say...
It's the same in supermarkets. No-one thinks they will.get old and will.have problems as you age, but it does happen as those of us entering those years know all too well.
How is that funny?
At last Mick has woken up! YES! We need people like him to fight back against the tyranny being thrust upon us!
How right he is 😢
I got the vote in the UK 52 years ago. Listening to Mick Lynch I feel for the first time in those 52 years that someone is actually publically supporting the way I have always felt.
Can't vote for him, though.
Yet...
Mick you’re the best ever not frightened to hit the greedy capitalists where it hurts . This country over the last 12-13 years has made me glad I’m old and not got to suffer it much longer . I feel big time for my kids their kids and my great grandchildren .
I bet you don’t get invited to any celebration events, for what it’s worth.
Capitalists 😂😂😂 what a tool.
99% of the public agree with what mick says. We all complain about strikes but are too scared to do anything for ourselves because most people sleepwalk through life.
THATS WHY WE SHOULD ALL NOT ASSIGN OUR VOTE TO ANY GROUP WHO WANTS TO GOVERN THE POPULATION OF THE UK. SO THATS WHY I ASK YOU CONVINCE YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS TO NEVER VOTE AGAIN. AND ONCE THE EVIL IS OUT OF A JOB. AND NO LONGER ABLE TO RULE US. UNDER THE GUISE OF GOVERNING US. WE CAN SWEEP AWAY ALL THE UNLAWFUL &BILLEGAL LAWS AGAINST THE POPULACE OF THE UK. ALONG WITH THOSE RULES & GUIDELINES. THAT ARE FOUND TO ALSO BE UNLAWFUL & ILLEGAL. LETS ALL STICK TO DOING A GHANDI. BY NOT VOTING & BY NON COMPLIANCE AS HE DID IN THE YEARS PRECEDING 1947. From Mr Rodney Harris Fraser.
So true, watch your back mick, know what this lot are like, should be In jail for what they have done to this country, keep up the good work,
Well said Mick. Corruption that starts in Westminster. Bring the 'companies' (monopolies) to their knees. We are with you. 👍
Spot on Mick. We need to look at the larger picture. You are truly a voice for the people.
Spot on. Thank you for speaking up & speaking the truth.
My girlfriend got stalked by some psycho on a deserted late night Thameslink train last year. Nobody around, she was helplessly texting me throughout and luckily managed to give him the slip by pretending to get off and running back on again. The train CCTV wasn’t working so he’s probably still out there doing that to other women.
If you remove staff from the railways this’ll happen more often to more people. They have a duty of care to passengers - they should foot the bill.
Exactly. I got seconded in MI5 to spot IRA on the underground in the early 1990s. Suspicious parcels and all sort of carry ons. It worked, I and others spotted a couple.
This government is a total disgrace 🤬
People who voted for the Tories have turned against them😂😭
I was a visitor to the UK last month, who paid £277 in advanced purchase of two return rail tickets to Cornwall from London.
Due to the train strike, I lost 2 days of my 4-day holiday.
I still support the strike action of British rail worker unions. Rail travel in the UK is expensive, and not worthy of a high using population.
As a Paramedic in the UK, I feel public service is one of the most important callings there is. The government would do well to remember that, and why they took up their posts in the first place. Namaste x
I for one appreciate the work you do. We would be lost without you all.
Are you Indian?
The ticket offices must Not be closed! I never listened to this guy before, but everything he says in this interview I find myself agreeing with

This is cruel to people with reading difficulties who can't book tickets on linecin case of emergency to travel to see ill loved ones

You wouldn't like open borders mate . .
Doesn’t matter who’s next PM it’s the same agenda they follow
It's only thanks to the station staff that I have managed to navigate this zoo that the under-subsidised UK railway system becomes every time there is problem. I bet the next step - after abandoned stations attract crime - will be government pushing for more police presence. Same old, same old...
📢 We stand with the rail workers!
The railways are more subsidised than they were under BR.
Only difference is that all that money is going to private shareholder twats and not back into the network.
I love this guy! He should be PM!!!
Mick is so right about dehumanising society as a whole, people who do not like to do banking etc online or who don’t know how to use online services are being completely fucked over and it’s making life that is already difficult for many elderly people even more of a struggle. Removing in person services is destroying accessibility for so many people, all in the greedy pursuit of profit
Very true, also doing things like banking digitally doesn't take into account the fact that not everyone has a smartphone

Alan B’Stard would be so proud of this government.
Talking about 'de-staffing', I complained about the checkout queue's in Sainsbury's yesterday. A member of staff told me that only 3 checkouts will be staffed across the whole business in the next few months....and customers will be forced to queue at 'self-service' check-outs; or 'shop elswhere'. Disgusting!
