From an article in the Daily Mail yesterday -

Far too much for my liking! Why should we pay towards financing a government that has gone against everything it is supposed to stand for? Time for the CWU to pull funding.....except there's one fat barstard standing in the way!!!

Hey Saru don't talk about Billy like that, he's our saviour he has (along with saint Dave) agreed a deal with the slave labourers that is almost exactley the same as the offer he told us to strike over. It has nothing to do with his political ambitions, why oh why do people keep thinking he wants to become a LIE-BOUR politician?
He works for us, the paying union members.

LIKE FECK HE DOES

VOTE A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE NOW
WITHDRAW ALL POLITICAL FUNDS NOW.
VOTE NO NO NO NO.

Yeah, great idea.
And of course, all the top twenty companies happily donating Â£millions to the Tory party will do the same too, won't they?
That would improve the quality of our lives, I'm sure.
Do you remember the Thatcher years?

The last accounts showed we have given the Labour party Â£406,000 over last year. DISGRACE

There should be a law making every company which donates to the Tory party place a warning on their products in similar fashion to the health warning on cigarettes. 'This Product Will Seriously Damage Your Wealth'.
As for funding Labour, the idea that doing so gives us any influence with that shower surely went out when Brown stated in Parliament that the deal was a good one and we should return to work.

WE were all given a vote on keeping the levy or not the vote was to keep it. I didn't understand how any one could vote to keep giving this shower of s**t money but that indeed was the result.

It beats me mate. I can't understand anyone voting for them, but this 'at least they're not the Tories' excuse will last only so long. Then they will have to fake a left turn again and hope the con gets people to vote for them.

Yep it's amazing how quickley he changed his mind. One of the quotes i have on a cwu letter sent out some time ago states "flexable working is unaccceptable at any price". well he was right there. Far from getting a price for it we are going to do it for f**k all!!!!

They shouldnt get 8p from us or any union....

Stop the anti union laws and then MAYBE the people who you say you work for and speak for can vote for you with a clear mind that you mean it...

Until then feck off and leach off the fat cats you put in power....

out
