THE SNUBBING OF THE KING

Congratulations to the RMT union for doing what every self-respecting trade unionist should haveone when the Big Banker got up to make his speech in favour of Con-Dem cuts.

We don't need bankers sorting us out. We don't need American financiers selling mortgages irresponsibly and thereby starting an economic crisis for which we're expected to pay. And, at a time of supposed economic austerity, we don't need Tony Blair fixing up a visit on the part of the Pope (now THERE'S a poor Christian despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief!) to the tune of £12 million. Feted by the Queen (head of a rival Church - and here's me thinking that the Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ Our LORD, of course I could be wrong!), greeted by crowds in Edinburgh and Glasgow to the general discomfiture of the local populace - I don't know.

We don't need bankers or wizards from Germany. But we do need workers working in jobs with decent wages. FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO WORK!
