Fascinating how death transforms him from 'Most Hated Man in Britain' to national treasure.

Who called him the most hated man in Britain? Surely that title belongs to Piers Morgan?

No Bob Crow is one of those people who I can disagree with but still respect because he stood for what he believed in and practiced what he preached. The vast majority of the big trade unions now are run by Marxist dinosaurs marching valiantly towards 1970. I'm talking about Serwotka and ghastly people like that.

I'm sure most RMT members would say their membership fee went to good use because Bob Crow stood up for his members. He did his job well. Unfortunately the Labour Party and the big union bosses have been on the Brussels gravy train for years, which is why they don't stand up for working class people or their own members.

If the Labour Party cared about working class people, they'd disapprove of unrestricted immigration from Eastern European countries, because that oversupply of labour affects the sort of people who used to vote Labour the most.

Bob Crow on the other hand was a patriotic believer in this country who was not on the Brussels gravy train, so he's fine by me.

Well you clearly read much more of the Daily Mail than I do.

Crow was probably the only Union leader I could put up with. If they were all like him, we'd have a much fairer, more productive country run by grown ups instead of what we've got. You're right Bob did his job very well, his turnout organising skills meant he carried a massive pointy stick to the table in negotiations, where as the Government are quite relaxed about teacher strikes because they generally amount to very little.

I've never been a union member because I just don't come from that way of thinking. I've never believed in getting into a profession due to the pension, doing the job for 50 years and expecting nothing to change. I've had five jobs in the last three years, all of them slightly different to each other. I couldn't do the same thing for 50 years and argue the toss over my pension rights, I'm just not built to do it.

Contrary to what you might think I don't dispise everybody from a socialist mindset. Most modern day socialists are more about self interest than socialism, they want all of what other people have so as nobody else can have it. It's all about bitterness, lazyness and phoney class war with these vermin.

On the other hand there's people like Tony Benn who I've always liked. All I really ask for is people who believe in independent British democracy and not being governed by Jose Manual Barroso.
