You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chains

Many thanks to all the usual suspects, trying to post comments on the earlier post about the GMB. All the usual lies, of course. But, my, how they have come down since the days when they could lie this country into war. And thanks to that, nobody will ever listen to them again.

Nor, of course, should anyone listen to those with the blood of a million people on their hands. And, I am sometimes tempted to say, the hands of their descendants for ever. But I never would. Not their biological descendants, anyway. But their (in the loosest sense) intellectual ones, certainly.

They themselves despise the unions, and have always wanted to banish them from political participation. I don't think that it ever occurred to them that the brothers and sisters might turn round and tell them where to go, before they had had time to put in place their deplorable scheme for state funding.

Whereas we respect and admire the unions, and would be genuinely grateful for their financial support.

Indeed, so long as the candidate signed up to our whole programme, a given union would be welcome, at least at the initial 2010 General Election, to name that candidate in any seat where it stumped up the entire deposit and election expenses.
