As we noted in the last post Jeremy Corbyn has edged ahead in the Labour leadership polls at present. He’s a lucky man having just got the endorsement of the Unite Union and Len McCluskey…and we know just how good they are at picking winners…the last one sank like a stone, an Ed stone….this time McCluskey backs Corbyn because he’s not boring..the ‘interesting’ Jeremy Corbyn….that’ll get ’em voting.
Unite has announced that it will also be ripping up the rule book and backing illegal strike action which the BBC seems in ignorance of as its political editor, Norman Smith, tells us that there is no excuse for the government’s anti-strike laws…
What is notable is that when Margaret Thatcher introduced her reforms, it was on back of a wave of industrial discontent. Today, unions are much diminished and tamed beasts which has promoted accusations from the unions and the Labour Party that this is all partisan politics designed to nobble them.
So despite already having several strikes and the prospect of many more illegal ones Norman Smith thinks there is no industrial discontent swilling around…the Unions being tamed and diminished?
We can’t say we weren’t warned as way back in 2013 McCluskey, in the Ralph Miliband Lecture, suitably, told us he would be using non-democratic means to smash democracy…
Let me start on my subject, working-class politics in the contemporary world, with a quote from Ralph Miliband:
“All concepts of politics, of whatever kind, are about conflict──how to contain it, or abolish it.”
Let’s not pretend that we are “one nation”, or that we will become one without the conflict that Ralph Miliband placed at the heart of politics.
So if we are on a march towards “one nation” and ultimately “one world”, it is a road that leads through struggle and conflict.
We are taught to believe that democracy is the cornerstone of a modern civilised society; but our Lords and Masters want to define democracy, limiting us to an ‘X’ on a Ballot Paper every 5 years.
This is not my definition of democracy.
They tell us strike action, civil disobedience, direct action and protest are all somehow unpatriotic.
Our history tells us they are not.
That is because our rulers are deeply afraid of Ralph Miliband’s assertion that politics is about conflict.
There will be those here tonight waiting to hear my message to the Labour Party.
Well I won’t disappoint. Here it is:
Put simply, workers need a voice, and they should not be taken for granted.
Whatever the upshot of electoral politics, working-class politics must grow and develop, based on the socialist education Ralph Miliband called for.
So we can expect a campaign of ‘strike action, civil disobedience, direct action and protest’ in order to impose the utopia envisioned by the man who hated Britain and all it stood for…Ralph Miliband.
Oddly during the election the BBC interviewed McCluskey but never once mentioned this speech or later remarks in which he stated that if the Tories won the election he would be launching a politically violent campaign of intimidation and bullying to force his wishes upon the electorate…his vision of what democracy means….do what Len McCluskey tells you to do.
Fascinating to see this from 1992 after Labour’s election defeat…..check out the reasons they think they lost….sound familiar? Never learn….of course nor does the BBC…Poll wise in 1992….
Even Labour MPS have seen this leftwing racist bigot for what he is.
A f-ing walking disaster
Great isn’t it. I’m getting oodles of pleasure watching Labour slowly implode.
‘Socialism works until you run out of other people’s money.’
May her soul rest in peace.
Greece?
I think it’s fantastic. It’s Michael Foot all over again. At this rate, given that they have lost Jockland to the vile SNP, they are staring into the political abyss. Brilliant!
They f%cked over the English and bent over for the Scots. The Scots went off with the SNP. Now disgusting Labour are all smiles for the English.
Anyone in any doubt about their attitude to the English should remember Rotherham and Labour’s calculated third world immigration (colonization) of London. They would never would have tried that in Edinburgh. Can you imagine?
I despise them with all my fibre. Their slow death is deserved. Next their flag wavers the BBC.
They tell us strike action, civil disobedience, direct action and protest are all somehow unpatriotic.
Our history tells us they are not.
Muslims will second that, but with bombs, bullets, beheadings, Taqiyya, and demography.
What plans does Labour have for the Islamic element in the UK, which they invited in, or will they join forces with Islam?
Rotherham is still there and the same is still happening as we all type here and now on our keyboards ( please think about it and get angry all ). When was Rotherham last mentioned on the news? The girls we have to apparently feel sorry for now are the ( new ) ‘British’ girls from the east end ( traditionally white English ) and ( new ) ‘British’ girls from many large inner cities who choose to be ‘ bu**ered’ in more ways than one abroad, and actually revel in it, Media ‘smoke and mirrors ‘ at it’s most sickening.
when you do a bit of prodding, the masks unveils as proved on channel 4 news,my corbyn i am almighty angry violent attitude on channel 4 news and dont you dare question me about my support for radical islam and other terrorists groups like the ira etc is just proof that the labour party will never ever change there ways no matter how sugar coated they pretend they are now,mr corbyn is labour through and through and they deserve him as there new leader because he reflects what the majority in the labour party really thinks but pretend they dont,ed millband, mr corbyn, just 2 cheeks of the same marxist backside who thank god will never get to run this country.
Please, please, please, please, please let them elect this w@nker as leader.
Pay your 3 quid, sign up as a labour supporter and vote for him to be leader then.
The good news is that with Corbyn at the helm all the loony breakaways like Loach’s Left Loony Unity, and Boy Owen’s People’s Assembly and all the Trots who failed to build Syziria in England’s green and pleasant land will flood Labour making them permanently unelectable. Just when the BBC needs a Labour government.
If it actually happens, this will be FUN on a grand scale!
I too hope that Corbyn wins.
To see Labour out of power for the rest of our livers would be grand-and Corbyn represents all that we rejected on May 7th.
Will say a prayer to his Allah-God that he gets Hells Kitchen for a reward-a flatulent Prescott and McCluskys smelly socks, a closed room and Jew baiting the only game for them to do.
The Bob Crow Tax as well please , Mr Osborne-it`s what he world have wanted, to be named after such a redistributive concept.
Just a minor quibble
Allah is a totally different character to the Judeao- Christian God. Muslims get very angry ( I know, they are angry most of the time) ,and will riot and kill, if Chrsitians in Muslm countries equate their Allah with God.
It is every decent person’s dutiy to join the Labour Party and vote for Jeremy Corbyn. He is the real deal when it comes to genuine left-wing politics, not the fauxcialist ZanuLabour brand. The Labour mask has slipped and what a frightening sight has been revealed.
Just unbelievable, 1992 and it was almost word for word the same excuses as earlier this year! Red Ken even harked back to 1931..what is it with liebour’s obsession with the 1930s? They just can’t get past the 30s!
Red Ken’s first statement on liebour’s fiscal policies should be played to all schools and Universities to educate kids as to what a disaster liebour are…this was in 1992 when mass immigration and the disastrous EU experiment were yet to hit the UK like the tornado they are. If their policies were unaffordable then what chance is there now?
There is one difference, corbyn, like every lefty scumbag has become more sneering, more angry, more cynical and more desperate by the day, gone is the calm demeamour. I would be ecstatic if he became liebour leader, wee Jimmy Crankie and corbyn would be the dream team to see the left out of power for the forseeable.
The 1930’s was the rise of their hero in Germany.
Not to mention the height of the terror in the USSR. Truly, a golden age for socialism!
The Labour Party is a socialist party, so why not have socialist Corbyn as its leader? Maybe that would encourage the Conservative Party to elect a Conservative as its leader.
Now you are drifting into the realms of fantasy. The Conservatives made that mistake once, they will never do it again.
You mean so that we could actually have a choice in a general election for a change instead of just sifting through seven identikit talking heads in search of anyone with an actual principle to their name?
Labour and the unions haven’t got a clue what genuine working people actually think about them. Unions seem to have no idea that strikes in the public sector hurt working people most!
They are on the road to self-destruction. Or is that just wishful thinking?
Corbyn is a man who is barely in control of himself. He does nothing but get angry when his ideas are criticised. He is a danger and so is his Marxist ideology.
“So despite already having several strikes and the prospect of many more illegal ones Norman Smith thinks there is no industrial discontent swilling around…the Unions being tamed and diminished?”
These changes in law are to safeguard services for the public in order to stop a small minority of disgruntled employees from causing major disruption.
Clearly, in one sense, Norman Smith is correct. There is very little industrial discontent. Most employees are happy with their pay and conditions, for if they were not, then the proposed 40% limit would easily be reached and strike action could proceed. It is the fact that there is now such a very low level of industrial disatisfaction, that creates a need for this new law.
This new law will make strike action far more effective in future. If a workforce manages to legally achieve a strike, then it will show genuine, widespread and legitimate grievence. Strikes would win more public support. The unions should be welcoming the new law. The fact that they are protesting shows that they want the right to be able to strike on any old whim of a small minority.
I see trouble ahead – Jeremy Corbyn is a fully paid up global warming alarmist. His older brother Piers Corbyn runs the weather forcasting service called Weather Action. I am pretty sure form memory of hearing Piers Corbyn some time ago interviewed on the Alex Jones Radio program (infowars.com) that Weather Action largely relies on studying what the sun is doing and that there is no global warming / climate change based on human activity.
Just found this on youtube which confirms my reccolections.

‘ The labour party is dead, long live Jeremy Corbyn ‘.
On a positive note, Dian Fat Bot is supporting him as leader. (Al Beeb This Week). Labour are committing suicide.
Roll on UKIP !
Remember Labour wrote a suicide note before but came back .
Makes me laugh anyway ! Stalinist politicians, trade union reps, and media retards comparing the new strike action voting proposals to the percentage of votes the Government received and stating that the Conservatives therefore have no mandate. On not one occasion that this has been raised in TV interviews have I seen anyone bring up the percentage of votes the Union Leaders received. Len McCluskey received just under 145,000 votes from a membership of around 1.5 million. So I guess he has no mandate either then. No doubt that applies to all the other Union leaders too. So that’s ok then.
