Isn't Bob Crowe, as one of Livingstone's cronies, a member of the
T.F.L. Board? If that is so, how can he possibly negotiate on the
union's behalf in any event? Conflict of interest and duty? Oh, sorry,
for him to understand that concept presupposes he has a brain to start
with. In fact, is there any evidence to suggest Crowe has a brain at
all? And they say prehistoric dinosaurs died out with the Ice Age!

From the BBC's site 'Key players in the union movement' re Bob Crow:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4197262.stm

A former communist, he professes admiration for Arthur Scargill and for
Chairman Mao, and he began his own climb up the ranks of the RMT in 1983,
succeeding the late Jimmy Knapp as boss in 2002.
He has said:

"I'm not one of those union officials who continually say they regret the
inconvenience caused by industrial action.

You cannot have a dispute without inconvenience to the travelling public."

Sums him up quite well really..
