It was a dead pig Doggy.

I think my whole post could be taken as a little tongue in cheek?

I don't hate anybody on here, but I'm not above having a cheeky dig either.

What the far left think of curbing migrant workers. It pains me to read that British socialists wish to undermine the chance of a better minimum wage for the unskilled worker. Of course bosses will pay less if they can, and flooding this job market sector with cheap EU labour is playing right into their hands. I'm not reading about workers from western member states coming to work in warehouses and factories.

"Workers can fight back. But to be effective we need unity with migrant workers—and playing into right wing myths weakens that".



Here in Norway we went on strike to get our trades minimum wage higher because agencies were leasing Eastern European plumbers to companies for the old minimum wage. Polish plumbers were quite happy to work for £15 per hour. Fuck that. Unity? They were undercutting the rest of us. You Brits have got this migrant lark all wrong.





More propaganda than the Daily Mail...

For those who foam at the mouth about South America

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Maybe UK would be better as a banana republic, under the control of the United Fruit Company?

We can trade horror stories about a different continent but I do not think it is particularly helpful in examining domestic politics.

This is quite pertinent, look at the gobshite's shoes......

Spouting the same dribble back in 1984 about disgusting fat Tory toffs in dinner jackets struggling to get out of limousines, but of course Corbyn’s not jealous as he gets invited to dinner parties all the time…..yeah right, you scruffy git! See his eyebrows slightly raise in jealousy?

Good to see a smart and immeasurably superior, Michael Foot at the end of the clip, an interesting contrast: a Labour leader, much maligned, with a vast intellectual capacity, a proud career of worth and positions of responsibility, reinforced with real anti-fascist credentials from before WWII onwards to the Falklands War.

^As King has noted, the subject of "South American" (except for Cuba, and Nicaragua, and Honduras which are in the Caribbean and Central America- but I forgive King of his geographical knowledge lacunae, since his primary concerns are of the domestic English island) worker paradises is totally different than the proposed Corbyn English worker paradise, just because.

"Vibrant oil economy" are key words. Venezuela looked to take a bigger slice of the action and also keep prices high.

So that put it in the firing line.

Some interesting figures from the Independent today..

Havent had time other than to glance at it..so not sure about the nitty gritty of it all..
