sorry, should of said. got the blog from a direct link from their website, and those are their posters.
Aye, the posters are linked to from the BNP homepage.
Am not up on current state of play, but that must surely require an imprint "eg Printed and Published by...." or as its download probably just "published by Name and Address" and like I said they can have them for sedition.
I say that not because I have lack of empathy with the strikers, quite the contrary, the underlying issues are exactly what Unions are for. But oil and gas has had a shaky 6 months,with prices plummeting; and thinking about whats been going on with the banks especially given the involvement of private equity in UK refining; the last thing they need is opportunists blundering about around them as they try to catch their falling colleagues while themselves on a perilous tightrope.
I linked to the Viking & Lavel thread (64 views 3 posts as of today) not out of opportunism, but because it is a genuine obstacle in their way or rather sticking to the tightrope analogy: like replacing a safety net with spikes, all in the name of justice and ever closer union
. For once though it is good to see the political classes mobilising quickly to address this, though how successfully time will tell(won't be case specific).
Watching this, the other bit that really does alarm me has been the paralysis nay almost horror of the left. I've mainly be getting my news off Radio 4 where its been quite clear that this isn't about malice towards the cheaper replacement workers themselves, so I've been a bit perplexed about the "racism" notion that seemed to have caught the left like a rabbit in the headlights. Obviously through wider/ different coverage it could be down to a number of things, but I suspect it may be the use of the slogan British Jobs/British workers and if so I think the left is headed into dangerous doldrums.
All politics has to ground itself, I mean litrerally there is always a geo level to politics, be it the ward or constituency that will be represented, the area where tax and laws are applied ....an aloof I'm internationalist standpoint looking down won't work,can't work. Has to be me, here working onwards and outwards gradually (or rapidly with modern comms) working with likeminded further afield to affect change. You don't have to be, in fact preferably without being, rampantly tribal, but you do have to build up from roots; or you can wait for the Internationalist Elections.
Secondly let's assume "British Jobs for British Workers" is racist, there is a case, after all before Brown it was a slogan in the early 70's by the NF apparently, I was born 72 so I never came across it in that context. But then I grew up very happily in a nation that isn't all one race. Start pinning race and nationality together and the last 60 years have been for nought, and you let the likes of the BNP call the terrain.
Last post for me this thread.
your a cockroach
we agreed it was good the SW types stuck to studentish demos like that rather than intervene ( interfer) with stuff on the ground here!
