Good work!
Bob Crow is such a cock. It was well funny watching him get completely trounced that time he was on Have I Got News For You - it exposed him as the stupid, bitter, chippy little man he is.

Your memory fails you Vagabond. I don't remember any trouncing going on. If anything the show he was on was very thin gruel indeed.
A real low wattage affair owing to the fact that he is ultimately an uncharismatic leader. Even if he had been all those professional, established TV people
addressing their own agenda and editing the show to death would've pwopah telt him. Take that crow!
As if TV or any news media will ever give him proper air time though.
Which yes, probably asks and answers the question as to why he was on there at all, see: Boris Johnson.

It was just watching him try and front up to Ian Hislop and inspiring boos from the audience, and everyone laughing at him for being a pillock, including Paul Merton, who was on his team.

But he came across as an ignorant class obsessed dick on HIGNFY. That's about the only exposure I've had to him. Didn't make a great impression.

It's all the attitude of b3ta towards Bob Crow as it focusses mainly on him being, well, an average Working-Class bloke who outspoken and of course we all know that the lower-classes should be not seen, nor heard, and know full well they should be busy doing "working stuff" behind the scenes and not upsetting the apple-cart, how very dare they! Kinda of sticks in my throat as one of those "working-class" types. I guess everybody would stfu about Bob Crow if he wore a suit and constantly sold his workers out for an easy deal where the management constantly exploit the workers. "Well as long at the Trains run on time!"

surely that's just your interpretation. I don't see him as "Is it 'cos I is working class?" so I suppose you will now be seeing me as a female Ali G doing the same here? The Middle-Classes can be so ignorant and insulting at times! Don;t get me wrong I'm not his biggest fan, I'm not a fan of Arthur Scargill either and I've met him personally and the only thing he said to me was "Hey you don't take a photograph of me whilst I'm eating my fish and chips! You're not my personal photographer!" Ofc my photo would have been a very nice pubilicity shot of him being amongst the workers eating fish and chips, but hey he wanted to be a fucking tart about it!

In Crow's case, it's about being working class, and, as he perceives, therefore by default exploited, and due a better deal - for some reason - than the rest of us.

I'm middle class, and I'm on the bottom rung of the company. My boss is working class. I have a toff friend who's on the dole. Gone completely are the days of buying your colours and position.
I won't deny nepotism still exists, but that's who you know, not what class you are.
If you have to work, you're working class.

It's not so much what you do but how you view yourself. And your empirical example is far from being the 'norm' especially as you say your boss is working-class how do you derive that especially in the context you are saying we live in a "classless" society? It's you who's drawing up the distinctions not me. Maybe this all stems from the fact you resent the idea of having a working-class boss?

Basically I'm working class as I have to work. However, the likes of Mr Crow will have a pop at me because I'm public school educated, and my parents are a doctor and a teacher.
My boss, however, is the son of a plumber.
Having a crack at me because I am a twat is absolutely fine and dandy. Because of what class I am or how much I earn? Not really.

It really doesn't matter if you were Public School educated or even if you were born with a silver spoon up your arse.
What matters is not allowing the disintergration of what is the "Working Class" into a tasteless soup of Classlessness! (is there such a word?) This whole idea we should all aspire to be Middle-Class is nonesense and self-destructing. No economy is based upon the Intelligentsia, it is always grounded very firmly in the Working-Class who provide the Services and Manufactor the Goods that we need to run an economy.
This whole Classless Society thing is merely to blind us to that fact and divide the workers and put them against each other rather than uniting to form strong unions to prevent the exploitation of wages and conditions.
Well that's enough from me, and yes I'm one of those Red Militant sorts if you want to know, or haven't guessed. I'm not dragging this out any further.

In context what you are doing is projecting your own negativity upon what he says and therefore he will always be to you a "chippy twat!"
It's not a case of "I'm working-class and therefore exploited!" it's a case of working-class people without strong union leadership will get exploited very quickly. And by strong union leadership I don;t mean the current crop of knobheads at the top of the Union bureaucracies.

It's opinionslol, innit. I understand the union thing, but Crow is an unnecessarily militant tosser, and the way I see it, always brings class into it as if it's something.

as an individual I don't know enough about him to make a judgement, which is the case for most people - yet they just love to explain how he's a this and a that and how much they hate him and that's just because at the end of the day he's an outspoken union-leader who hasn't had his wings clipped by the bureaucracies.
