Is this the working people's Labour Party that refused to let their MPs join the picket lines? That Labour Party? You must have missed the Blair years my friend. All the time in the world to revoke some of the draconian anti Union laws brought in by Thatcher and her minions. Did fùck all! Fact is they were too busy deregulising the banks and subsidising multi national companies with their mental working tax credits and laughable "minimum wage" stupidity the ultimately led to the worst stagnation of workers wages since Napoleon was taking out his wee man syndrome on all of Europe. This current bunch have pledged to do just what the Tories have done. Eternal austerity. 18 billion quid worth of public spending cuts. Red Tories and nothing more. Not a socialist bone to be found anywhere near the shadow soon to be real cabinet. It's a fùcking farce that you seem to think that this mob are actually anything like what Labour were before Blair. Working people get shafted what ever shade of Tory holds the keys to number 10 mate. And thems the facts.
One of the only things that Thatcher did that was any good was to clamp down on the scumbag ****er Union Leaders. Kinnock thught the same and Kinnock was the last actual proper Labour Leader that Labour actually had.
Agree. I had a lot of time for John Smith, who sadly passed away too soon. Intelligent, caring and more integrity than any of the twat politicians around these days.
I was on an RMT protest outside Parliament, the day after P&O sacked their staff online. Angela Rayner was there with us. Labour can’t win elections without appealing to the middle ground, because most electors are a bit ******ed, but most Labour activists are sound.
True, I think to be a politician you basically have to be a **** with tunnel vision, female or male Another politician that I admired enormously was Charles Kennedy. Spoke so much sense and was a thoroughly decent bloke, yeah I know he was sadly an alcoholic but he was a politician filled with integrity.
Yup, had a lot of time for him until he was found out to be knobbing his secretary. "It's Paddy Pantsdown" as one of the tabloids had on their front page
