Yes, but since "anti-bnp stuff" from the unions is largely de facto electoral campaigning for Labour, that's not much of an argument in favour of the political fund.

yes, it is. as long as you think unions should opppose the bnp.

You're a fucking dimwit.

So you don't think it matters how the BNP are opposed and whether or not this "opposition" actually has the desired effect?

 

[belboid]

no, that is not the point at all. its about principle. if you dont like the practise of the principle, argue for something better, dont side with right wing shits who opposeit entirely

This really deserves a thread of it's own, since it's entirely irrelevant to the topic of this one.

But that isn't how they work, is it? There is A political fund, and its members decide who the money goes to. Not all of it goes to labour anyway 9anti-bnp stuff has to come from the pf). You could argue for two political funds, as in Unison, but then there is absolutely nothing tht can be done about the labour party part of it. I'd rather have one, and campaign for disaffiliation.

Well, if I'd known that disaffiliation was under consideration, I'd opt for that.

its not hatred it realism.

ill resist the (especially as i slated it myself not so long back) temptation to cite godwins law

i am a worker, i am a union member, i am a life long "labour" voter (god help me) i used to be a union steward.

i believe strongly in defending our rights as worker

i dont believe in free lunches

you seem to have completely changed your mind since the first few posts!!
