Lindsey Oil Refinery on strike again

Most readers will remember the big strikes in the construction industry beginning at the Lindsey Oil Refinery earlier this year. After the victories won by those actions it’s no surprise that employers are now fighting back.
Following the sacking of 51 workers at the Lindey site by one sub-contractor, Shaws, there was an unofficial strike by around 1,200 workers [...]

Compulsory reading

The wave of hysteria in response to the election of two BNP MEP’s I predicted is already well underway. It may be too late to stop the immediate headless chicken style political response to OH NO THE RACIST NAZI BNP GOT ELECTED LET’S PANIC (yesterday Unite Against Fascism called for a protest in Oxford, a city which [...]

‘British lion’ encounters egg

You’d think he’d never seen anything so terrifying in all his life:

Greedy liars

I realise the polls are closed now and anyone that’s voted BNP has already done so but it’s worth pointing at, yet another, bit of evidence the BNP are much a money-grabbing bunch of liars as any mainstream party.

NO2EU – Yes to Democracy

Better late than never.
 NO2EU -  Yes to Democracy:

Dave Nellist Socialist Party councillor in Coventry says who they are and why you should vote for them:
The coalition that we’ve assembled in the last few weeks for this election is campaigning against privatisation, against low pay, against MPs’ ‘expenses’ and the gravy train. We’re [...]
