What a week

What a brilliant week. Unison, that massive undemocratic machine has finally managed to get off its arse and agree to take some action we've actually won a vote to strike. On the other hand it's quite sad as only 30% of the membership bothered to vote yet it's there pension we are stiking to protect. One day Unison might elect someone who an element of fight in them instead of the week labour lettuce that we have now. Most of the unison full timers are unelected, thats a democratic union for you.We activists will fight what ever the Union says (do it yourself) better to die fighting than give up Who says the British aren't apathetic.

On a brighter note it looks like greece is going down the pan and italy isn't that far behind it. It just goes to show how undemocratic these countries are. Greece was going to have a referendum on whether or not to stay in the euro, it was quite clear that the majority of the greek people wanted this and were gonig to vote to leave however the other member states decided that this isn't in the best interests of the country and put pressure on the country to drop the referendum. Germany had said a referendum would essentially be a vote on whether Greece wanted to be part of the EU and that the stability of the eurozone was more important than Greek membership. So basically up yours Greece! what a sad state of affairs.It's clear that all these bail out packages don't work and won't work capitalism is in state of free fall. As some of the people in Greece have said pull out of the euro now, let the country collapse and then rebuild rather than waiting for an agonisgly slow death with bail outs they have no possibilty of paying back. The country needs to take a leaf out of spains book and become an anarchist republic, fuck the euro and the euro zone!
