Mick Lynch

Mick Lynch has been hitting the headlines from the picket
throughout the summer and makes batting off stereotypical lines of
questioning from the right-wing media commentariat look like a
blood sport. One interviewer accused him of seeing himself as an
evil criminal terrorist mastermind. But ultimately the RMT's
General Secretary describes himself as a working class, good
natured, second generation Irish immigrant leading an industrial
dispute. James speaks to the man wielding the rhetorical scalpel
about his political views and life before his rise to public
prominence.
