It's a ludicrous basis on which to criticise the Occupards. You can't just live your life in an alternate universe just because the actual and existing one isn't to your political taste. I have Hannan+ views on socialised medicine but I didn't object every time they scraped me up and loaded me into an NHS ambulance after my many motorcycle accidents.

@rutita,

ask them are they going to support the Sparks, a key moment imo...

yes, this.

If the big construction firms manage to destroy the JIB agreement it will have a huge negative impact on all electricians across the country, and would give the green light for all other trades to be further attacked as the JIB system's about the best example of all trades that I'm aware of.

We're not formally part of the JIB system, but still use it to know what the going rate should be as I'm sure do loads of smaller companies who employ sparks but are not formally part of the JIB system, so having the JIB system so badly undermined as to make it an irrelevance will have a massive impact across the board. It would also mean the big companies could then undercut any other companies attempting to stick to current JIB wage rates for their sparks, creating pressure for a downward wage spiral in the industry.

If the occupy lot are to be seen to actually stand for anything concrete, then they really need to get some significant support down to the sparks demo tomorrow (IIRC). If they do this, then there might actually be a chance of gaining some respect and solidarity from the union grassroots. Got to be more effective a use of their time than just camping on the steps of st pauls IMO.

eta - and it looks like it's 2-3 blocks away from st pauls...http://www.urban75.net/forums/threa...ainst-35-pay-cut-de-skilling-ec4v-4dy.282700/

what the fuck are you on about? :confused:
how the fuck can you compare choosing other coffee/tea places over cunty starbucks to having to use the NHS???
are you fucking serious? :hmm:
it is very easy to avoid starbucks, m&s and such like
it is obviously not easy to avoid being picked up off the road by the nhs
now is it?

It's former RCPer Brendan O'Neill with his thought-provoking take on #Occupy. (I'm being sarcastic btw).
I wonder what he has to say about the RCP's "Preparing for power" thing back in the 80's? What a pillock.

Haha. Found it. Radical Revolutionaries do not end up taking corporate cash to write about GMO favourably? Radical Revolutionaries do not end up writing blogs in the Daily Telegraph?

RCP's Preparing for Power c.1984: http://scr.bi/r0O6W9

Occupy Movement - More relevant than the Revolutionary Communist Party ever was :)
Occupy Movement - on the steps of St. Pauls part of a global movement
RCP - never really made it out of Hornsey Road, where a bunch of male-dominant gobby chauvinists authoritarianised their transient audience into submission and tried to sell them the scribblings of their dear leaders.

Is it for free, or do you have to pay?

:hmm:

I don't trust these types. They proclaim liberty from financial constraints, the when you take what they offer for free they slam you down.

What I meant is that if you want to donate any food for the camp u can take it down there. They were giving out food for free. It was busy this morning when I went down there. They now have a tent set up for the food area.They were not asking people if they were in the camp or anything like that either.

As an aside, a welfare tent should be showing up tomorrow afternoon. Unpaid, of course, so will be short of supplies... if you're going down with a mind to... tea, milk, sugar etc would be great. :)

Sugar yes they told me that they need that.Took down a bag today. Seems the campers use a lot of sugar.:eek:
