Three Words Cameron Must Say to the Unions
TB tends to let PT's
cartoons
speak for themselves, but this one hit a nerve. It has become clear that the TUC have met
with Cameron twice in as many months. At their conference this weekend they have been spreading lies and fear in order to try get Brown to dance to their tune. Not only have these anti-democratic bully boys issued veiled threats to Labour about cutting funding, they have also, rather desperately, threatened
a future Conservative government with the prospect of riots and organised civil disobedience. They can destroy Labour at the purse strings but they have nothing on the blues.Britain has moved on from the days when it was strangled by the tyranny of the minority. The unions no longer have power over the government. If they want to resort to violence, let them. Retribution must be swift and quick. Zero tolerance.
The Conservatives have fought and won against the unions before over government spending and we will win again. They cannot be allowed to once again gain credibility and power over government decisions on the back of threats. Cameron must have three simple words for them...
Bring it on.

Thankfully it looks like Cammy et al are appealing to the memmbership more directly than to the leadership, which helps, as the rank-and-file unionist is far more rational and reasonable than Crow et al.
Suppose this is the dilemna facing Cameron WCT.
He can't idealogically agree with the unions on a huge amount of policy but he could still do with a few union members votes. I think he's doing the right thing by seeming to be closer to the unions whilst at the same time not really offering them anything concrete from a future Tory government. It's very clever.

Alex Salmond has 1 word and 3 letters to say..
" VOTE SNP "
I think that if there are genuine grievances then the unions are justified to have their voices heard. But to cause problems and bully workers to strike simply to promote a political agenda is completely inappropriate - promoters of such actions should never be tolerated.
I agree with WCT. In a lot of organisations its the vocal minority, often with slightly more extreme views, that take control and ruin it for everyone else.
