[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7061192, member: 28532"] I wouldn't have voted for Brexit had I a vote in it, and yes in hindsight I think it has been the clusterf**k many predicted. But I think Lynch's reasons for promoting Brexit is he genuinely thought that workers would have been better off in Brexit than in the EU. Very different from the reasons that Farrage or the aforementioned Rees-Mogg were promoting it. I like Mick Lynch because he's a straight talking guy who is erudite and stands up for the working man. Fair enough, as head of the union that's his job, but I happen to like the way he does it. The cutting quickly to the nub of a matter and calling it straight; the having James Connolly as his political hero and showing up the interviewer's lack of knowledge; the debunking of unquestioned (by BBC anchors) Tory lies; the being a Cork City FC fan from afar, and you can tell he was genuine because he knew more about LoI than many based in Ireland do. The overall package of Mick Lynch is I think a good one. Even if I do disagree with his stance on Brexit and how it appears from this remove, but then, unlike some, I wouldn't pretend to be more au fait with the the full gamut of prospective pros and cons of Brexit to the british working man than one of their actual Union leaders.
