Trade unions seek double standards in fight against BNP
Looks like the labour cartels trade unionists aren’t content with getting all the special favours Labour have already thrown at them - but they want even more! Now, they want to be able to exclude BNP members from joining:
Trade unions want the right under UK law to expel British National Party activists - and deny them membership - as part of Labour plans to check the electoral advance of the far right.
“To check the electoral advance of the far right”? Wtf?! So it’s just a bare-faced, un-sugar-coated attempt to distort democracy and prevent a rival party from taking their votes? I really wouldn’t have expected any more from this government. These rules were introduced to stop unionists from excluding Conservative Party members; by breaching them for one party, one makes it easy for the unionists to use the same principle to extend it to all parties, and turn our workplaces into places where the only political disagreements are between Trotskyites and Stalinists.
We are as opposed to the BNP as we could possibly be. The BNP’s social policies are fascistic, their economic policies are neo-communist, and their outlook is bigoted beyond the pale. They seek state involvement in every facet of a citizen’s life. They are exactly what we oppose - and, of course, they are exactly what the left-wing supports. The only difference is that the ‘far-left’ supports discrimination by class, whilst the ‘far-right’ supports discrimination by race. You say tomayto, they say tomahto.
However, the best way to deal with them is to beat them: something that Labour seem wholly unable to do. The similarities between the ‘far-left’ and the ‘far-right’ is the reason that the BNP gets most of its votes from the same ‘working class’ constituency as traditional left-wing parties. That’s why, standing only two candidates in Three Rivers this May, the district I grew up in, one BNP candidate won a former Labour safe seat, and the other narrowly lost to Kerron Cross: Labour’s then-group leader, former PPC, and the blogger who calls himself ‘The Voice of the Delectable Left’. That’s why there’s now a BNP member of the GLA. That’s why the BNP beat Labour in Henley.
The fact that they can’t beat them is alarming, but says more about the unpopularity of this government than the popularity of the BNP. The fact that Labour, and the far-left trade unionist movement, want to use government powers to discriminate against them and to ensure Labour victories in the poor communities let down by class warriors, says more about the undemocratic nature of this government.
It also says a lot about the principles of the trade unions that they’re willing to sacrifice democracy to prop up such an abysmally abusive and totalitarian government. For shame…
