Tory Bastards Strike Again
Those bastard unions, eh? Bringing the country to its knees, destroying the economy and people's jobs. Oh no, that's the bankers and their pals in the financial sector, isn't it? Never mind, we'll just start an anti-union campaign anyway. At least that seems to be the logic of our fascist government. (That's right, I called them fascists. That's how right-wing they are - they've forced me back to my teenage Marxist days of labelling anything or anyone to the right of Tony Benn fascist). Apparently, during the recent Grangemouth dispute, that naughty Unite union had the audacity to organise protests outside the homes of some of the filthy rich executives of Ineos, the company which owns the Grangemouth refinery and petrochemical plant in Scotland, during their recent dispute with the company. According to the likes of posh boy Cameron and Grant 'Michael Green' Shapps, these were outrageous tactics which were nothing more than intimidation. Not only do they want Ed Miliband (who, curiously, despite being a Unite-funded union stooge. according to the Daily Mail, is currently off of Unite leader Len McClusky's Christmas card list), to condemn such tactics, but they're going to have an enquiry into them too.
Frankly, I'd be more impressed if goose-stepping Tory twats like Francis Maude (who was spouting off on the subject on TV yesterday), were to condemn the outrageous tactics of multinationals like Ineos, which, rather than negotiate with their workforce, threaten to close down the whole Grangemouth petrochemical plant unless workers accept cuts in pay and pensions, (which weren't the source of the dispute). If effectively holding the whole of Scotland to ransom, (the plant closure could have put up petrol prices and disrupted North Sea oil production), in order to bully your workforce isn't intimidation, then I don't know what is. Compared to this, Unite's alleged intimidation - actually nothing more than perfectly legal peaceful protest - pales into insignificance. Oh, and while we're on the subject of intimidation, are Cameron and cronies going to condemn dodgy ex-internet 'gurus' whose companies peddled software designed to steal other people's copyrighted material, who try to intimidate public-funded broadcaster's into reporting government policies in a more favourable light? I mean, that's certainly what Grant 'Michael green' Shapps seemed to be doing the other week/ But what do I know? I'm just one of those evil trade unionists outrageously trying to preserve basic rights to things like fair pay, pensions and conditions, not to mention the right to protest. What a bastard I am, eh?
