The labour party that we know some 20 years ago is not thesame and its not what you think it is. This organisation is so bold that it has enshrined corruption in its rule book. For example, you are not allowed to critice a fellow party member in the public. So if a labour party member is found wanting, all that he gets is a slap on the wrist. So out goes opennes and transparency and welcome corruption and cover up etc.
The huge deficits that faces us was the making of the labour party and its corrupt members. Some of these labour Cllrs had become secret millionaires but the public now would have to pay for this….. this is an unfair situation.

The Labour reaction to this has been surprising and way over the top. The SLP reports that one Labour councillor ecribed Evans-Jacas as a “scab”.

Very 1970s!!!!!!

Dear Betty,

Well done and welcome. I do not know whether you are a Trade Union Member but if so you are joining a growing group of people fed up with the way Labour exploits Trade Union loyalty to the detriment of ordinary TU members.
Best wishes,
