TUC officials are ripping off their members by paying themselves massive salarys

16.08.2012 18:11

How about organising a protest aagainst the TUC whose officials get paid massive salaries! High paid TUC officials are just as bad the MPs involved in the expenses scandal. Remember these are also the same sell out scum who refused to organise a general strike during the 1984 miners strike leading to the defeat of the miners and the loss of tens of thousands of mining jobs. The TUC are as bad as the government!

Yes TUC bosses get huge salaries, but Indymedia is financed by multi-billionaire George Soros. That doesn't mean you passed over the chance to use Indymedia to make your point, and, by your example, that doesn't mean people who oppose the cuts should pass over the TUC protest as an opportunity to make our point

They're NOT "the same sell-out scum".... unless you're suggesting the same senior officials who ran the TUC nearly 30 years ago are still in-post working at the same jobs now?

Either way, what's your alternative?

Like how is you trolling thick-as-pigshit comments on Indymedia going to stop the cuts?

Spending cuts need to be made

16.08.2012 19:36

Spending cuts need to be made because this country is in debt! And the only way to clear that debt is to reduce government spending so that the debt can be paid off. What is your solution carrying on spending and bankrupt the country so it ends up like Greece or even worse?

Indymedia UK is currently being financed mainly by the people who run the site. George Soros is most emphatically not financing Indy UK! (Please!!!)

Head in the sand "conservative" believes the tory spin of course because it suits their corporate welfare policies of privatisation of human services and forced labour. Its private debt that's created this so called recession not the public debt created by the too big to jail banker fraudsters and their neo-liberal prophets and preachers in the failed neo-classical economics

The Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model is dead you idiot.

It's not about union bosses, it's about ordinary people - the half million working people who will hopefully be attending this march, it's for them that we need to support Oct 20

You lost the working class?

You lost the working class? Who lost the working class? The last time the Anarchist movement mobilised significant numbers of working class people was in the 1930s, and even then never in Britain
