Matt is one of the many working class who work against their own interests. The right wing media has taught him well. Do as we say not as we do. It’s horrendous how much influence the media have especially over uneducated citizens

[BrotherNeuro]

Matt's one of those people who uses the term "champagne socialist" as an insult without realising that he's a "pint of bitter tory"

[skipper]

Matt hates Lynch but would quite happily have a pint with Johnson. Don't be as gullable as Matt.

[joec]

This guy has never had a single thought of his own. Just read the daily mail and decided thats his opinion for any matter

[senken]

That caller is exactly the kind of person that the Tories love. Unwilling to think critically and just blindly follow the nearest avenue of hate

[catherinehanner]

Nothing sadder or more puzzling than a working class tory.

[johnrussell]

The workers have waited 13 years for jam tomorrow, and the recent inflation was the final straw.
All they are asking for is the return of the buying power they had in 2010. It was taken away to fuel tax cuts for the rich. Tax cuts which never created growth and never will.
The Tories make ordinary people poorer to make the rich richer.

[paulwalker]

These working class forelock tuggers, who have sat quietly while Tories have decimated healthcare, public transport and schools etc are now outraged, as TalkTV instructed them to be, about working people finally standing up and saying they have had enough.

[elloco]

This Matt character sounds like one of the zillions of Brits not handicapped by any knowledge or ethics, voting Tory against their own best interests.

[nickshale]

‘Working class Tories’ the literal turkeys that look forward to Christmas because the Daily Mail told them to. 🤦‍♂️

[damianleah]

Just because someone maybe on £100k plus doesn’t mean they can’t have empathy or want others to earn a decent pay packet. I find it incredulous that it’s working class people are the ones criticising those that seek better pay and conditions.

[benchode]

Poor little Matt he came second in a IQ test to a flip-flop 😂😂😂😊

[ianbrodie]

How does someone who claims to earn less than 20k a year complain about striking workers?

[cupguin]

The other day I said something about unions and my mum said my great grandfather would have been proud of me. Listening to this idiot I'm suddenly proud of my great grandfather for raising our family to respect the role of unions. Of course they aren't perfect but we're all better off when unions support their members. Not all of my family have been in unions but we still understand more people in jobs that don't provide a living wage doesn't help anyone except the most wealthy.

[NeverQuiteAlex]

"I didn't know we were talking about Boris Johnson." says the man who started the conversation saying he doesn't trust people on above average wages...Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the working class Tory...

[deanlowdon]

Always makes me laugh when people complain that workers have chosen to strike on days that aren’t convenient! 😂

[kevinmallinson]

Poor old mat, happy to keep his own class firmly in there place

[lesparton]

I agree - this man is a Daily Mail reader - it is obvious!!!

[Binsonhope]

Ive been on an NHS waiting list for a stoma reversal for a year now and my mums currently a patient in a complex care demetia ward and I fully support the Nurses and Doctors taking strike action.

[Dellboy]

Why, oh why, do these numpties bother calling James?
