Dennis Skinner is one of the few parliamentarians not to engage with "the other side". In fact he is quite the loner. When asked in a Guardian interview who his friends were in Parliament (this was in 2012) he replied "Bob Cryer". Bob Cryer was the former MP for Bradford South and was killed in a car crash in 1994.
Oddly enough he became quite close to Tony Blair.
Anyway back on topic, RIP Bob Crow - good to see that his passion for "his people" is acknowledged across the political spectrum.

Must have been someone else then. But you get my point. And agree with your last paragraph. RIP

I don't know the ins and outs of how he came to get such a salary but If I was going to spout self righteous tosh about being a 'service to civillisation' with a serious face I would hope I would fall in line with the average salary of the people who paid my wages.
People say the same thing about MP's who are supposed to be representing the public and can vote for pay rises themselves.

The Premier League should be having a minutes silence/applause at the weekend games. They did it for a useless parasite like the Queen Mother, someone like this feller has really earned one though.
No chance of that, of course...the horrible crew of profiteering scumbags who run this league would have hated Bob Crow....Millwall might, but then that's another story/league.

Offer that amount as an annual bonus to some people in the City and they would sue you for constructive dismissal. It is also £105,000 less than an amount Boris described as "chicken feed".
As Ken Livingstone said about him - "the only working class people in London who still have well-paid jobs are his members". RIP Bob.

He certainly never bought a house to live in.
But Bob Crow wasn't doing the job of those who paid his wages, so why should he be paid the same ?
Everybody in life is 'in it for themselves' to some degree, but in the process Bob Crow improved the working conditions of millions.
Always has to be somebody to post negative stuff I suppose:

Not just working conditions - if the RMT had been listened to in 1994 and since we would have saved billions of taxpayers pounds spent on the "privatized" railway network, thousands of jobs in train and related manufacturing would not have been lost, and mistakes in the way the network was maintained would not have resulted in several deaths.

Employed and paid to look after the interests of his members and somehow managed that in the UK controlled by narrow business interest greed.

That would set a ridiculous precedent, we'd have about 5 minutes silence before every match if we started picking random people to remember.

I'm not arguing against the job he did infact i'm sure millions of others would have liked to do the same job, I know I would. I just never took to him but As this is a thread about him passing away i'll leave it there mate.
