The Labour Party the party of the working man?

Stalin certainly wasn't up for speaking out or speaking against him. Nor was Mao Ze-Dong. His figures make Hitler look like a part time genocidal maniac. Which he obviously wasn't of course. Depending on which sources to look into he killed almost 80 million people
And they aren't what you'd call capitalists.

They are state capitalists.

I've yet to find any party that I agree with. A cross between the BNP and Greenpeace would be close. Odd I know, but I never said I was normal.

I think this industrial action would be dealt with a bit differently if the BNP were in power kinmad. Fascists have never been too keen on workers standing up for themselves

That's why they're trying to set up their own scab union. I doubt there will be much of a spirit of international brotherhood in that lot.

I hear they have 3 members now Their founder said the rich were genetically superior to the rest of us

The rich , genetically superior to the rest of us ? ................... A comedian, this bloke , is he ?

He's certainly a clown.

The unions should break from Labour - if there was a referendum tomorrow in most unions many would have left the party by sunset. the bureaucracy runs the conferences in such a way that they are rigged against any resolutions that propose disaffiliation, democratising the fund etc. just like happened at the 2007 CWU conference.

But the unions should'nt just go it alone like the RMT and FBU have done - they still end up supporting candidates in elections but some are the middle class greens or even Lib Dems. It chops up the working class vote instead of uniting it. We don't need a pick and mix policy at elections we need a party accountable to and controlled by its membership that fights for the working class (Labour never did either).

The Labour left stil say "stay in labour, vote labour or tories will get in" and they will say it louder the worse the Labour government gets and the more popularity it loses, and as we get closer to elections.

But this is just self-defeating. Brown isn't qualitatively any better than the tories now, and the longer we don't have a new workers party to unite struggles inside and outside the unions and workplaces, the more remit Labour has to attack us, and the closer the day the Tories take over from a totaly discredited Brown.
