"Ding Dong The Dinosaur is Dead" ?

Just for fun let’s try a few facts, the guy’s salary was actually £89,805, plus payments to his pension fund based on results, now considering that under his stewardship membership of the RMT rose from 57,000 in 2002 to 80,000 in 2008, I would imagine that would be substantial.

No matter what, his job was looking after the interests of his members, as far as I can tell he did that very well, just what did any of you expect him to do?

Now if our politicians of whatever shade, worked half as hard and achieved a quarter as much for their members this country would be a much better place…

And how would that work? It is not as if Britain can go on strike until the rest of the world meets our demands! :rolleyes:

Silver fox do you drive a tube? Good riddance to the commie loud mouth hypocrite.

Looking after his members interests? He siphoned that much money from HIS members, that he became the wealthy elite that he had spent his life demonizing. The man was a hypocrite of the worst kind.

The guy was an elected trade union leader who did a damn good job of looking after HIS members interests, funnily enough that was precisely what his union paid him for.

Now if our politicians of whatever shade, worked half as hard and achieved a quarter as much for their members this country would be a much better place.

Let’s not start another Maggie thread under any pretext.

The first two sentences of your second paragraph summarizes exactly what I think of this vile man. A textbook example of the ‘champagne socialist’.

I’m not sure how this gentleman died ? I had heard that he sustained a severe attack of sunstroke as a consequence of a lengthy and some say expensive recent stay at that millionaire’s resort; Cancun, Mexico.

It might be that his stay at this luxurious hideaway was funded from his alleged union salary of circa £140,000 p.a. It is alleged that some people have made a dreadful slur in saying that he lived ‘high on the hog’ and was really a ‘champagne socialist’. This is quite disgraceful and a step too far. We shouild rally to defend his name and reputation.

This coming Sunday, I will be attending Trafalgar Square carrying a black and white Socialist Workers Party banner bearing a picture of the elegant features of a true descendant of Red Robbo. Who will join me ?

I quite agree. Mr Crow’s words on Baroness Thatcher’s death ” ‘I wont shed one single tear over her death……. as far as I’m concerned she can rot in hell.’

Exactly, what goes around comes around.

I quite agree. Mr Crow’s words on Baroness Thatcher’s death ” ‘I wont shed one single tear over her death……. as far as I’m concerned she can rot in hell.’

We may disagree with somebody’s politics but that should never lead to ‘hatred’ or descend into ‘rejoicing’ at somebody’s death…

…to me, that says more about the morals of those ‘rejoicing’ than the morals of the departed.

And we all recall Mr Crow’s words on her demise!! There has been much spleen displayed on various blogs but not here, for some reason. Mind you there has been a dearth of new threads recently – perhaps everyone’s worn out!!

A self-confessed hard left socialist who cared little for anyone but his members and their well-being. And to fall foul of Ken Livingstone was quite an achievement! Both his bark and his bite speak for themselves, so not a lot more to say, I suppose.

I’d thought exactly the same thing, Moggy. No doubt we can expect a knock on the door from the thought control militia.
