Paxman and top BBC journalists warn against strike during Tory conference | Media | guardian.co.uk

And so it begins….

As I pointed out yesterday the left wing, Marxist unions appear to be hell bent on damaging our democratically elected government and ultimately bringing it down.

Amazingly they expect us to naively believe that the targeting of the Conservative Party Conference and the Prime Minister’s and Chancellor’s speeches are merely coincidence and indeed it’s the Conservative own fault because of their so called “Anti-strike” legislation.

My own view is that this is a blatant attempt to extend the abhorrent media manipulation of the likes of Alistair Campbell or Peter Mandelson  by an act which is purely politically motivated. Well done the voice of reason and well done responsible journalists who are not against strike action but who appear to be against having a strike used as a crude political, propaganda bludgeon.

Watch out, there’s more to come, mark my words…..

BBC News - 'We've got our party back,' says Lord Kinnock

BBC News - 'We've got our party back,' says Lord Kinnock

The interesting thing about this quote is that it is not from Neil Kinnock but from an un-named union delegate who Lord Kinnock reported “leaned over and said 'Neil, we've got our party back'”. Lord Kinnock said that he “thought that was so accurate as an instantaneous response to the leader's speech”.

Is it only me who sees this as truly ominous? It seems obvious to me that the “we” the delegate was referring to was not the rank and file Labour party members but the unions. These unions now feel that they are back in charge and they will, in short order, be calling in their markers to dictate Ed Miliband’s policy.

The trade unions, led by Charlie Whelan who proudly boasted that he had persuaded six MPs to switch second preference to Ed Miliband, appear determined to reproduce a “Winter of Discontent” over impending government cuts to public spending. I would argue that the unions are not fighting for people’s jobs or the maintenance of public services, their aim is to usurp the democratic process as they challenge the election result. In my view their aim is to return us to a centralist Marxist state where they, along with the Labour party will urge us to “Stay In Doors”, “Listen to The Government Broadcasts” and “Continue To Obey All The Rules”.

Under the last Labour government the unions were content to grow fat sucking off the body politic and public like bloated parasites. Now their endless free food supply is in danger of drying up they want us all to keep paying for them by preserving unnecessary public sector jobs with money we don’t have and have to borrow. I think these bloated union bosses are as bad as bankers.
