Give me Bob Crow over Beach Hut any day. I know it's his job but Bob Crow will defend his members interests every single time. Beach Hut on the other hand couldn't give a **** about the plight of anyone else, unless of course he was personally affected.

Impending Tube Strike and Our Champagne Socialist.......
- Thread starter Beach Hut
- Start date
So why has he not rushed back off his hols or postponed his hols so that he can represent his fellow workers in strike negotiations ?
I'm not jealous. I just find the left wing hand wringing when it comes to Tory excesses remarkable when they support their socialist buddies in playing the system. The hypocrisy is sickening.
You might not like the fact that Crowe is in a council house, but it's not really his fault is it? He's just living by a principle that you don't agree with. Perhaps we shouldn't have sold off our council house stock in the first place? Perhaps we should build some more? How anyone can be so angry at something so utterly defendable is beyond me when there are so many reasons one really could choose to have a pop at him for.

One of the things I like about Crowe is he makes no effort to appease his critics and put on a media friendly face to increase his popularity.
He works for the members and I know from personal experience, he will always go beyond the call of duty to help out the members.
The RMT is unlike some unions run democratically. Any member, with I think 5 years service is able to stand against him.

I don't know. For all you know, he told management he was away on holiday the week before the strike date, so please could he negotiate beforehand?

Is that the same trade union that negotiated Beach Hut's FREE train travel for him and his family for life? And yet, so ungrateful is he, that he still whinges, whines and grizzles in full-blown petulant frenzy mode when he's asked - along with everyone else - to pay £50 a year for a contribution towards Albion matchday travel.
I'm sure, somewhere in his heart of hearts that he's grateful for the lifetime train junket. Somewhere.

The thread is not about Tory excesses though,it's about your bitterness toward a bloke going on holiday and living in a council stock house.

The 'market value'?
You mean the supply and demand principles of greed artificially and spitefully created by not replenishing the housing stock?

So what has that got to do with income support and housing benefit? Wheres the corruption?

'Playing the system'? 'Socialist buddies?' 'Left-wing hand-wringing'?
What are you on about? It's because he doesn't adhere to your own made-up, self-perpetuated rules that he's corrupt.
It's just white noise from you.
And yet 100% correct. You really are a dick.

Very well.
Could you explain what you mean by the utterly moronic phrase - 'Champagne Socialist'? How does it have any value and purpose as - in your case - its intention as an insult?

If Bob crowe was genuinely playing the system surely he would buy his home at a greatly reduced price and sell it at a later date for a huge profit. That would make the daily mail readers happy..........
