The
Daily Telegraph, doing what the Daily Telegraph does best. Creating a
scaremongering headline to suit its own political agenda, and to divert
attention away from the real (and embarrassing) issues. The question is
not whether anyone is for or against a fuel crisis. No one in their
right mind (except maybe Francis Maude) wishes to see un necessary panic
buying, the prospect of empty petrol stations,
rationing of scarce petrol, essential services starved of fuel and non
deliveries of supplies to shops and supermarkets. The question is of
course, an industrial dispute between workers and employers which in the
end must be resolved between the parties concerned with or without the
assistance of ACAS. Certainly the mischievous "assistance" of The Daily
Telegraph, Francis Maude, David Cameron and George Osborne is neither
helpful nor warranted. The fact that Unite is a contributor to the
Labour Party is neither here nor there. The vast majority of unions
affiliated to the TUC are contributors. The TUC created the Labour Party
to represent working people in the political processes of this country.
Why should the Leader of the Labour Party be expected to condem working
people taking part in an industrial dispute, simply because The Daily
Telegraph and the leaders of political parties representing the
employers and the vested interests of industry, wish to score cheap
political points and create discord and division amongst working people?
Cameron and the rest have not condemned the greed and corrupt
practices of business, the speculators and the Banks and there by the
question could equally be asked, "Are David Cameron, David Clegg and
the Daily Telegraph for or against a city generated economic crisis?"
