    Insurrection?

    John McDonnell, at the TUC promoting insurrection by the Trade Unions, with plans for national strikes to get rid of the Tories. "Elections aren't working for us" so strikers should ignore the law on striking asking who's going to lock them all up.
    Such an apparently mild mannered man reveals a vicious inner Marxist core.
    He's been going round saying this for several months. Seems pretty dangerous to me.

    This is part of Jeremy's pledge of gentler kinder politics.

    I've stopped worrying about it now OC, maybe the younger generation will have to experience 'Socialism' for themselves before they learn the error of their ways. They can make their bed and lie in it for me, I'm past the age of caring. In fact, to help their education I might just vote for JC next time, the sooner they find out for themselves the better perhaps.

    Go on BT blow a gasket

    I didn't know he was educated at Burnley Technical College. A levels apparently

    John Martin McDonnell is a British Labour Party politician who was appointed the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer in September 2015. Wikipedia
    Spouse: Cynthia Pinto (m. 1995), Marilyn Cooper (m. ?–1985)
    Education: Birkbeck, University of London, Burnley Technical College, Brunel University London

    Moved about a bit
    McDonnell born Liverpool, attended Great Yarmouth Grammar School. Upon leaving education, he held a series of unskilled jobs. McDonnell began training to be a Catholic priest, though eventually decided against the vocation.
    After marrying his first wife, he studied for A-levels at night school at Burnley Technical College, and at the age of 23, he moved to Hayes in Greater London, attended Brunel University, and took a Bachelor of Science degree in Government and Politics
