TUC give Tony a piece of their mind

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Propaganda, 1997-2007

I'm very agreeable to that

I heard that Bob Crow on the radio tonight. He's an idiot. One of the things he said was that the national minimum wage should be the same as what he's earning. Sound economics, Bob!

In fact all union members should be earning the national minimum wage. Perhaps then they wouldn't be able to finance the theiving socialist gets, excuse me, the Labour Party.

"In his speech, he argued that the UK must respond to people's anxieties on mass immigration and terrorism while keeping the values of tolerance and respect for others."
Problems he has created either by design or negligence.


"He pressed the case for ID cards, saying that they were necessary to deal with mass immigration and the growth of identity fraud."

Again. problems he has created either by design or negligence.


"And he said claims that the government was privatising the health service were wrong because there were now quarter of a million more public sector workers in the NHS than there were when Labour came to power."

Compare and contract with nurses worried about redundancy.


"On Monday, the TUC attacked Mr Blair's reform agenda on public services, in particular moves to hive off services to private firms, and voiced concerns about the government's pensions policy.

Union members make-up 33% of the votes in choosing the next Labour leader."

Blair heckled at TUC conference

He spoke after some RMT union members walked out shouting for him to go.

Other people waved banners in protest at the involvement of British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, while comments about schools prompted shouts of "rubbish".

As RMT leader Bob Crow led the delegation out of the Brighton Centre in protest, he said: "What is the point of listening to someone when you cannot believe a word they say?"

Well, I never expected to agree with Bob Crow during my lifetime!
