It’s refreshing, amazingly so, in an era so packed with news channels dedicated to reporting based not on content but on titillation and scandal.

Its amazing how rarely we hear the term "means of production" in modern politics, or at least it would be amazing if we werent in a class war. Edit. Yeah mate theyll love giving their stolen wealth back, also the only reason northern europe is even halfway decent is the fear of the workers revolution coming to their doors, so maybe the government need to be reminded of that.

There are plenty of rational socialists in the US but they are drowned out by money and the media. Look at Biden. As a social democrat he doesn't even get close to being effective. Money corruption and back room deals keep the honest candidate out of the process.

Note how he corrected himself when he almost said 'Labour party values' to 'Labour movement values'...he's as aware as anyone that nobody really knows what Labour Party values are any more and more to the point that the Labour Party as it stands cannot comfortably align itself with Labour movement values.

The vast majority of the UK's business are small and medium sized - started by people willing to take a lot of risks. "Handful of billionaires" is a silly caricature. I've got nothing against cooperatives or something similar, but businesses don't emerge out of thin air. A hierarchy of some sort has to exist, and such cooperatives would have to exist in a regulated, but generally free market. A web design company doesn't just pop into existence. A plumbing firm doesn't just pop into existence. A pub doesn't just pop into existence. A mechanics doesn't just pop into existence. "people become the owners of our own production" - what does that even look like in 2022? 1917 was a long time ago. We're not all serfs in the fields anymore. I employ three people. I invested my time, money and I'm liable for everything. The building is in my name, the insurance is in my name, I bring the customers in, the initial investment was all mine, I purchased all of the computers and equipment - why should my employees own my business, because you say so? This 1917-esque argument is a caricature. It's the sort of stuff I used to say when I was 17, smoking reefers.

The solution is very simple. Means test the rich, tax them accordingly and redistribute the resulting revenue to the poor! The way modern governments over-complicate and/or obfuscate the simplicity of the solution is utterly astounding!

The shareholders have a big maze on this as well as the rightwing siding media and Press as well as middle-aged and older pensioners. The USA has woken up to "Trumpism". But unfortunately!.. The English sheep keep following the grass is greener on the other side.
First time Ive heard presenter let guest speaker talk without interrupting.
Hmmm
Can someone tell me why the meetings between the RMT bosses and the Rail bosses can not be video recorded and uploaded to YT as is done with parliamentary debates?
In my view, the response to this idea would be very telling. If any side (or both) objects to it, the verbal accounts from that side (or both) would be, in my opinion, impossible to believe. What other conclusion could be drawn?
If adopted, it would negate all of the snide, innuendo, accusing-toned, 'Mister Lynch', 'are you a Marxist?-type remarks from so-called journalistic interviewers.
Top man only wish guys like him could lead us
Unfortunately it will never happen in this country. As the leading classes will never allow it..
Lead us? Into poverty and destruction. No thanks.

🤣

@@50_Pence For one He ain't a politician.
@@andyforshaw8489 Which is exactly why he should lead them. The people in leadership positions don't need to know every facet of how their business is ran, they just need to motivate, manage and keep everyone on-goal.
He is the single most consistent political-speaker I have ever heard talk. Prime fit for the job.
Its amazing how rarely we hear the term "means of production" in modern politics, or at least it would be amazing if we werent in a class war.
Edit. Yeah mate theyll love giving their stolen wealth back, also the only reason northern europe is even halfway decent is the fear of the workers revolution coming to their doors, so maybe the government need to be reminded of that.
The owning class broke the contract that, we work, they pay us fairly.
So either they remember that or we have to remind them.
I love him. Bring him to the states!
There are plenty of rational socialists in the US but they are drowned out by money and the media. Look at Biden. As a social democrat he doesn't even get close to being effective. Money corruption and back room deals keep the honest candidate out of the process.
As a young thatcherite and knew nothing about politics except that my parents told me to aspire to the conservative ideology to be rich and demonise the any social democracy because they want to take your money through high taxation and give it to scrounges, my mind was forged for many years. Then Brexit happened and while it started out as neither left or right-leaning (although now co-opted by the extreme right), I got more interested in politics and looked under the veneer of the print media. Imagine if instead of a character like Arthur Scargill bun fighting with thatcher, there was this calm, erudite philosopher of social justice, I may well have got to the root of the truth so much sooner.
Brexit was about migration & that's it. I'm a proud, sing from the roof tops rightwinger.
Tell me the "benefits" of dem0graphics change in UK towns & cities?
Lynch supported Brexit
@@tonygange7636 glad to have you out the closet. Most people try to disguise their xenophobic ignorance. Refreshing to see someone wearing it proudly on their sleeve.
@@tonygange7636 they made sure you thought it was.
@@HuplesCat So what if Lynch supported brexit? At least he’s consistent with the values of pre Bomber Blair Labour. Tories took us in, Tories took us out.
Honest and brilliant guy.
Britain needs more people like him..for us to have a decent way of life..
No we don’t need anymore communists thanks
@@artfullpodger1413 ok ..no Communists anymore and about the FASCISTS and their are so many around Washing our very little brains
Yip - radical reform and progress rather than revolution and destruction. But recent decades has seen attacks on previous won reforms.
The political problems occur when greed overshadows the fact that if you just share enough of your kingdom to keep people reasonably happy they will not revolt. It is hard to understand that if you have one billion you need two more. It is a sickness.
Reminds me of the saying "government exists to keep the 600 poor men it takes to make 1 rich man away from the rich man"

Two guys who I have alot of time for and are very similar apart from Brexit.

@@ukstormwatch1793 I hope so. I listened to the full podcast, regrettably it wasn't discussed.
Why would anyone on the left support the EU? Freedom of movement of capital, goods, services and labour? Guardianistas just don’t like losing some of their privileges.
@@aleph8888 Because nationalism doesn't solve problems it's just an attempt to ignore them and pretend they don't exist. But that way of thinking catches up on you. The theme song of socialism is the internationale.
@@valk5045 crazy that this central issue wasn't discussed.
Real champion. Great spokesperson for progressive politics.
He doesn’t sound like a progressive to me.
Did this man just give an honest opinion and actually answer a question.
"i don't want to tear it down. i want to change it"
So, take the rail network back into public ownership; nationalisation? Like with the issue of an independent Scotland or Brexit, put the vote to the people affected, and, as this is a question of public ownership, that would be the general public...
Protect this man at all cost, I would even suggest he gets a food taster.
Heading over to listen to the whole thing now!🔥
This is a man of clear principles. Unlike say Liz Truss who supported Remain but now supports leave .....totally disingenuous. Starmer just doesn't seem to know what he thinks.
Compare that with Liz Truss who declined to appear on the Andrew Neil show for scrutiny
Excellent interview. Balanced reasoned and no interruptions
That’s because James licks his boots
This man, this is who we need leading the country!
Note how he corrected himself when he almost said 'Labour party values' to 'Labour movement values'...he's as aware as anyone that nobody really knows what Labour Party values are any more and more to the point that the Labour Party as it stands cannot comfortably align itself with Labour movement values. He's characterised a huge frustration of a great many on the left of centre there I think.
In the absence of football, society becomes more aware of other REAL issues in society, so great timing RMT.
The girls football kept me entertained as a footie fan! Great timing!
The Scottish govmt has been working at this for 20 yrs and r slowly getting there. We have a fairer tax system here too.
Anne, the Scottish Government's engagement with the STUC is woeful and its pronouncements to the press are indistinguishable from the main political parties in the UK
Where can I find the full interview? Great.
Excellent Thank You 👍
The RMT have just given their own staff a 3.6% pay rise……..you couldn’t make it up.
His views align very closely with mine, amazing
But jimbo didn’t lynch vote for Brexit, thought you might have something to say about that ?
Does anyone know when they are gonna release the full video?

The duke of Westminster and Jeff Bezos are total different animals. One inherited vast property empire and earns passive income. Bezos owns 12% of Amazon which he started and has build a massive customer base with supply chain efficiency and customer service. We the consumer chose him to be this wealthy.
Anyone know if I can watch this in full somewhere?
Hi. Can anyone please tell me where I can watch the full interview? Thanks.
About time the UK media listened to this man, rather than attack him
Great interview James
Sensible!
He's learnt it
I want this man to be Prime Minister.
He would have to take a pay cut.
@@anthonymcguire3618 Lynch is on £80k the PM i think is about 149, now where`s the pay cut?
Great video
What a fantastic interview
If O'Brien talked to Lynch's members the way he does to his listeners he'd save a lot of money on dental fees.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but is there a full version of the video podcast? I assume it was all filmed, but I can only find audio-only versions of it online.
same, if you find one can you post a link here?

All I can think of when I listen to him is him from Carry on at your convenience.
Excellent!

Love both these two could listen to them all day
I’m halfway through that book and it’s over a hundred years old but more relevant than ever…pitting people at the bottom against each other.

Absolutely right
thank you lbc for this informative video. where can I find the full video please. many thanks. Big fan of you channel 💙
Explains it as in the current situation really well and gives opinion on what is the issue and why it should change.
Could someone link me to the full interview, please?

Democratise the workplace so we the people become the owners of our own production, instead of a handful of billionaires.
The vast majority of the UK's business are small and medium sized - started by people willing to take a lot of risks.
"Handful of billionaires" is a silly caricature.
I've got nothing against cooperatives or something similar, but businesses don't emerge out of thin air. A hierarchy of some sort has to exist, and such cooperatives would have to exist in a regulated, but generally free market.
A web design company doesn't just pop into existence. A plumbing firm doesn't just pop into existence. A pub doesn't just pop into existence. A mechanics doesn't just pop into existence.
"people become the owners of our own production" - what does that even look like in 2022? 1917 was a long time ago. We're not all serfs in the fields anymore.
I employ three people. I invested my time, money and I'm liable for everything. The building is in my name, the insurance is in my name, I bring the customers in, the initial investment was all mine, I purchased all of the computers and equipment - why should my employees own my business, because you say so?
This 1917-esque argument is a caricature. It's the sort of stuff I used to say when I was 17, smoking reefers.
Here's a thought Paul, why don't you put up your own capital and risk it against an entrepreneurial idea to start a business that you can run any way you want?
Imagine this man as the Labour leader. He'd be in for a decade or more.
get rid of starmer and replace him with someone articulate like this man
We just need a 'Class Destruction Party' or 'anti-Monarchy Party' or 'Say No to Serfdom Party' or ' Reform Party

Missed the rest of this interview. Was Brexit discussed? Would be very interested to hear how they framed it.
You’d hope so as I’ve yet to hear the compelling case for Brexit and Lynch was/is pro-Brexit .
The solution is very simple. Means test the rich, tax them accordingly and redistribute the resulting revenue to the poor! The way modern governments over-complicate and/or obfuscate the simplicity of the solution is utterly astounding!

Proper progressive regulation....the last few decades have been about deregulation for the benefit of the wealthy few, the asset class and corporations, and the clarion cry has been government (the means of regulation) is bad. Hence our descent into oligarchy

I could listen to him talk about politics and class all day.
This is the kind of centrist we need.
