The BBC put the Ian Lavery farrago in Newsnight's graveyard slot, on a Thursday against Question Time. It was hilarious watching toffs talk about trade unions. They had no idea how such organisations worked. No past or present member of Lavery's union has complained, and past members of it run into many thousands, by no means all of whom, let me assure you, are any friends of his. Dear old Auntie is simply out of her depth here.
The Beeb is aghast that this person can be a national politician, with his accent, his no degree, his Irish surname, his record in the Miners' Strike, and so on. Well, tough. Someone has already looked into this. The regulator created by the Thatcher anti-union laws found nothing amiss, and even the BBC, the NUM's very worst enemy since the Dawn of Time, has decided to get this "report" out of the way by broadcasting it on the night that no one watches Newsnight. Anyone who thinks that this is a story knows nothing about trade unions except that they hate the uppity little oiks.
Shame on you for supporting such corruption on your doorstep.
ReplyDeleteIf you have evidence of corruption, then you should take it to the Police.
DeleteYou, David, have no evidence of how public schools or the Tory Party work yet you continue to spout about them with youthful abandon

DeleteLooks like the police are interested now David.
ReplyDeleteThe miners know them of old.
