    UK Labour almost bankrupt

    Labour is now officially heading towards bankruptcy, according to General Secretary David Evans. At a meeting of Labour staff this morning, Evans said the party’s poor financial state is due to “lost members and dealing with antisemitism cases.” It’s always someone else’s fault, eh Keir…

    According to Labour List’s Sienna Rodgers, Labour’s financial reserves are now down to just one month’s payroll, with voluntary severance being offered to all NEC-funded staff. For a Labour-party announcement about potential redundancies, sources claim there was “no mention of staff welfare”…

    The left is furious about this financial state: Bywire News claims “Labour were the richest party in Britain under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.”; self-proclaimed “Marxist” Labour councillor James McAsh says the fall from being “the richest political party in Britain” is “so sad and so scary”. Surely for a Marxist, wealth reduction is exactly what McAsh would want to see…

    I’m a Union member, I’m not interested in “The New Labour Party” I’m a union member for myself. My union UNITE
    negotiate with the industry Employers for wage and working conditions.

    Without a union as I know from first hand the employers would rip me off and I’d never get a pay rise, the unions legal experts are there for me at any time I feel I need them.

    There is a postal vote at the moment for a new General secretary of

    I used to be a Union member for the same reason as Neo,above.
    During one dispute with my boss I told him i would be taking Union advice;he told me that the company doesn't recognise Unions.I told him that the Union was representing me not the company.
    I am a typical Labour Party supporter but not the current corbynite version.Currently I vote for nobody.I should be ashamed but what can I do in our current situation.

    All the main Unions, were taken over by Marxists a long time ago. The Unions did a great job of improving the conditions of the working man and lifting the poorest out of poverty, up top the 1970's


    In the 1970's the Marxists took over, and then you had Marxist saboteurs like Red Robbo, the man who engineered 532 strikes and brought British Leyland to its knees. That was hardly in the interests of the workers. Another Union wrecker was Arthur Scargill, who decided he had the right to ignore a democratic General Election and try and depose Margaret Thatcher. This was based on the premise that the Tories closed pits, but in fact the Tories closed 191 pits and the previous Labour government closed 426. His badly planned , disastrous, amateur strike finished off the Union of Mineworkers. Another Marxist out to destroy capitalism is Mick Lynch, Gen Sec of the RMT. The unions are now riddled with World Marxists

    The Unions stopped being useful when people like Ken McClusky stuck his haw in. A man that earns more than £100,000 a year, who selfishly lives alone with his wife in a 3 bedroom council house badly needed by a young family with kids, when he could vacate it and buy a house of his own.

    McClusky does not act primarily in the interests of the workers, he acts primarily in the interests of World Marxism. Good riddance to him.

    I guess they are probably all the same. This is what can be easily found for Canadas Postal Union.

    The union is also noted for supporting political causes. It spends funds in participating on issues such as child care, Cuba, abortion, Colombia, anti-Racism, anti-North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), anti-global capitalism, marijuana decriminalization, campaigns for women's equality and human rights.[21] CUPW has also protested the Vietnam War, supported the disarmament movement, opposed South Africa's apartheid regime and opposed the bombing of Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan.[22] The CUPW also supports the international campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)[23] against the state of Israel "...until such time that it respects international law and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people."[24]
    Rule 24) Youtubes (political videos) are not allowed as political OP's or any OP's unless there is significant comment or explanation abutting them so they're obviously an adjunct to the discussion - not the topic of the discussion. A political OP cannot lead w a youtube. No exceptions. This WILL be enforced.

    McClusky does not act primarily in the interests of the workers, he acts primarily in the interests of World Marxism. Good riddance to him.
    Actually I emailed a couple of years ago Len McClusky when I read an article he had made in the media, he was announcing unite members should welcome non union immigrants into our workplace.

    Of course I was incensed, these buggers jeopardise my working pay structure and seriously undermine the British worker in the job market.

    Sure enough one of his lackeys replied to my rant of an email.

    Of course Lens McCluskys personal views in no way represent “Unite the Uniona. to which I replied “tell Len McClusky to keep his personal views out of the media.

    Len McClusky is Trotsky scum.

    Back in the 1970's we saw inflation peak at 26.9 per cent (August 1975) as measured by the retail price index. The abuse of Trade union bargaining power was a crucial driving force behind the wage-price spiral, and did the working man no good because working people suffered more by the effects of inflation than rich people., This spiral was eventually broken by Margaret Thatcher’s government in the 1980s.


    Labour, under Blair, and the Trades Unions betrayed the English working class in the single biggest act of political backstabbing in British political history in 1997


    Labour, the party created to protect the interests of the english working class, threw open the borders and flooded the country with millions of cheap foreign workers, undermining wages and conditions and undoing 150 years of work by the unions . And the Unions, especially those led by the Trotskyites and Marxists like McClusky, did nothing, because it served their personal political ambitions more than their job of protecting working men. They used the working class as a weapon against capitalism and the wealth of the country, irrespective of the cost to ordinary people.

    From 1990 to 1997 we had to endure the grey man John Major, a ditherer, a man not fit to be a prime minister.
    Along came Tony Blair, he promised us a change in government after the Conservatives long reign of power.
    yes we got change, tax increased and National insurance contributions nearly doubled. Foreign scum was allowed to come and work far cheaper than the Brit worker, foreigners in London were like rats, 10 to a bedroom, one report 30 people living in a rented 3 bedroom house.
