How apt that the snow should be falling as Labour continue their re-enactment of winter of discontent in the late 70s.
The term 'wildcat strikes' is back in fashion, and there are murmurs of dissent from the backbenchers. Gorgon's insistence that 3m jobs have been created under Labour has been somewhat compromised by Frank Field revealing that 90% of them are not being taken up by British workers.
I thought the Prime Minister's pledge of British jobs for British workers was meant as a joke.
Surely someone who had presided over a country that had been recruiting record numbers of workers from abroad was sending up his audience? What other meaning could be given to the punchline of Gordon Brown's first speech as Premier to a Labour Party annual conference?
The facts speak for themselves. The Government quite rightly boasts that more than three million new jobs have been created since Labour was elected in 1997. It has contemptuously brushed aside worries expressed by a tiny handful of its MPs that nine out of ten of these jobs have gone to foreign workers.
As if that's not bad enough, Mandy & poisonous ex-health bully Caroline Flint are trying to put a positive spin on it by hinting that British workers should bugger off abroad.
Yesterday this unelected peer (Mandy) surpassed even himself by coming forward with the strong hint that British workers protesting outside the Total oil refinery on Humberside ought to look for jobs abroad. 'UK companies can operate in Europe', intoned His Lordship, 'and European companies can operate here.'
Caroline Flint, Minister for Europe, was even less subtle. 'It is important to remember', she declared, 'that open European Labour markets also allow British firms and workers to take advantage of contracts and opportunities elsewhere in the EU.'
Surely this is the most dim-witted, incompetent, dictatorial, lying, arrogant, tedious, immoral and unpatriotic collection of cockmongers ever to have formed a British Government.
It's time to go to the country, Labour, before you complete the destruction of the very little we have left. Either that, or just do the decent thing and play russian roulette with all chambers filled. Please?
