You will be aware of my previous rants against el presidenti dave prentis. well bugger me he's gone and done it again, his speech today could have been the one he did last year or the year before that. Same old rhetoric, last year it was the smashing of the ice, "we will smash this pay freeze" says dave, the year before "we will fight for our pensions"and now hes saying "the time for solidarity has come" .Run that past me again dave, the time for solidarity has come. Snap my vitals, the activists have been yelling that for years and now dave has woke up, pull the other one. What shall we do dave have another rally at the tory party conference by any chance? Absolute bull shit, a rally? that will really make the employers and the government shake in their boots. If the TUC don't organise one the we will, says dave. Thats fighting talk eh mates. Is it just me or is there something fundamentally wrong with the leadership of this union. If you watched the conference you
will be aware there was no descent from the floor or the NEC, in fact they clapped him.
I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! Is this what trade unionism has come to protests.? Where is the fight, the wildcat action, the mass strikes its because our so called unions are scared of a real fight. Thats why you get all this hot air from prentis because he is afraid to stand up to the government and the Labour party. We see them move fast to recruit people and put more money in the coffers so we can protect Unison towers but get rid of the towers and use the money for fighting and saving peoples jobs.
We now see jackie smith being appointed without any democratic process. Come the revolution these money grabing, self appointed bureaucrats will be first againt the wall for selling out the working classes they claim to represent.
