So all the BJ4BW/'Put UK workers first' placards didn't exist? The demand that employment go to 'locally skilled' labour did not exist? The video interview of strikers demanding that European labour be used as a last resort did not exist?Which is pretty much what the strike is over. Sub-contracting is the enemy, not italians
I think that the bosses should be made to pay for jobs for all that need themyou dont think redundant workers should get any priority over anyone else?
Thats decades of TUism down the drain
Anyway, looks like it's over now.
Racist..... Just look at the racism and xenophobia dripping from that quote!!
Absolute dishonest crap. I've not called anyone a racist on this thread. I have said that there are nationalist demands at the heart of the strike's aims, and that's quite a different thingyou just want to shout RACIST, even tho their is sweet fa evidence of racism.
You pair are some double act. Neither could speak a straight word if you triedIf only those thick working class types understood every nuance, dot, comma and underline of socialist internationalism
*sighs* - *goes to weep in corner*

Totally dishonet. I have never said they were racist. Find me a single example of where I did. I have patiently explained why key demands of the strikers aim at favouring British workers over others and I have clearly said I support them fighting against job losses and for more jobs to be created - but not to exclude other nationalities from work.You have said you would not support those strikers because of their racist slogans. You have repeatedlty tried to present them as racists (along with the entire news media in the uk and apparently across europe) - that's a definate thing that puts you on a definate side.
Am I being dishonest with this statement?
Yet another snidey comment. You really do have a problem with honestyanother 'voice of truth' cutting through the crap and lies of the entire boss media set-up
oh, hold on...
said barely anyting you lying fuckwit.another 'voice of truth' cutting through the crap and lies of the entire boss media set-up
oh, hold on...
Socialists should tell the truth. I'm appalled at the self delusion that's gone on here
said barely anyting you lying fuckwit.

Sorry, but Spion hasn't shouted 'racist' at all. I don't understand why you and dennisr keep saying he did.It's not a very honest way of debating your point. You're not prepared to listen to anyone else, you just want to shout RACIST, even tho their is sweet fa evidence of racism.

Today MEPs from UK, Germany and Italy, representing Socialists, Greens and European Left Groups threatened to veto this year's incoming European Commission.
Glyn Ford (Labour, SW England) said: "The situation is clear, if we are to end 'social dumping' within Europe we must change the law. British and other European workers should not have to compete within factories and companies with those forced to work for lower wages and in poorer conditions".
He added: "Talking is not enough. Here MEPs say we will veto the incoming Commission unless they commit to the necessary changes".
Caroline Lucas (Green, SE England) said: "It's vital that we resist the attempts of those on the far right who are using these disputes to stir up racism and xenophobia. Instead of blaming "foreign workers", we should be challenging the rights of multinationals to undercut local pay rates and exploit workers. It's clear that the Posted Workers Directive needs to be revised, so that its original intention, to provide equal treatment for all workers, is upheld."
Stephen Hughes (Labour, NE England) added: "We believe it's important that British, Italian, Portuguese or any other EU workers should have the freedom to move, live and work in any EU country. But we do not accept that any worker should be open to exploitation as a consequence of exercising the right to free movement. Such workers should be guaranteed the same pay, terms and conditions as indigenous workers."
The MEPs have produced a Written Declaration to express their position, co-signed also by Italian Socialist MEP Luisa Morgantini and Green Germany MEP Elizabeth Schroedter.
Sorry, but Spion hasn't shouted 'racist' at all. I don't understand why you and dennisr keep saying he did.

mutleys desperate digging for evidence of racism
whatever vetoing the European Commission would mean in practice
And there was was me thinking you said:
must have been some other "Resistance" (sic) MP3
although full credit for saying nothing when it mattered
tithead
another 'voice of truth' cutting through the crap and lies of the entire boss media set-up
oh, hold on...
You forgot to mention the demand for 'locally skilled' labour to be employed that formed part of the strikers demands. You try to smear as useless the actual words of the striker who said that Euopean labour should be used as a last resort because they were on the BBC, tho clearly unedited.substitute nationalism if you like, makes little odds. Spion has decided his position on the basis of some placards that are no longer used, and one news clip - despite the explicit and obvious bias of the beeb. Either way, he isn't prepared to listen to any counter-argument
so completely unlike you're squirming and wriggling, mutleys desperate digging for evidence of racism even when its unconnected to the strike, and MC2.5's posting up glove puppets!
You total hypocrite.
