New Labour don't seem too keen on unions either

Tories have been quoted on the grangemouth malarkey that they will stop the sort of strikes they have been having.
Seems to me if they get in we are more f****d than what we are now and we're seriously f****d now!

That might just mean sorting out their pensions. Pity we dont need the Tories to **** our pensions, we have Royal Mail and the CWU to do it for them

Personally I think it's quite deliberate , they kept Two Shags on well past his sell by date to try and keep The Parlimentary New Labour Party together .

I also think some of these Arch Blairites are cutting off their noses to spite their faces , people like ex Tanky Reid , for the first time the Tories have a superficially electable leader in Cameron , Brown simply doesn't have it , apparently he can be quite charming in private but publically he comes over like some Russian leader and his cabinet ministers have a politburo style to them .

I have it from good Westminster sources that Brown doesn't know which way to turn with his "Age of Change " and has no control over his Ministers .

Don't get me wrong, Postman & Mailman are right , there's a nasty right wing Union Bashing Element with the likes of Osbourne in "Team Cameron " , also they've a new breed of younger Councillor Candidates .

I keep hearing that someone told Brown he had to smile more to become more electable or more human. However, I wish he didn't do it, it looks silly on him, have you seen all the news articles in the last week, he is grinning like a cheshire cat and shaking anyones hands, even a guy a sky news that was just holding the door open for him. He smiles all the time now, which after the kicking at the local elections just makes him seem even more out of touch.

BTW Bravo Crudas

he says how it is and he wants more left leaning policies, I hope they listen to him.
