Progressives - Totalitarians In All But Name.

Socialists, communist and all other leftist regimes are totalitarian by nature. Like the 'Man Made Global Warming' fanatics their vision is so impaired by the religious nature of their ideologies they are beyond reasonable discourse.

They also mistakenly believe that their version of the perfect state is inevitable.

They are incapable of understanding that others may take a different view or have an alternative philosophy. In a mature democracy with an educated populace the issues should be debated rationally then decisions made or voted on based on the outcome of the debate.

Leftists hate this discourse, they think it a waste of time that it only serves to delay the inevitable. They believe that any alternative view to theirs should not be heard. Censorship, book burning and intolerance are the hallmarks of socialist/communist/leftist regimes.

Although we are almost there, the socialist state has not been fully established in Great Britain. There are still pockets of resistance and free thought like the blogosphere and the Internet in general which governments are desperately trying to regulate.

As far as leftists are concerned they absolutely must control the message.

In the absence of controlling the message and with nothing to contribute to any debate, leftists shoot any messengers with whom they disagree. Hence we see spin, sophistry and outright propaganda to promote the socialist/communist/leftist cause, while employing smear and abuse for anyone promoting a different viewpoint.

This is best illustrated by the leftist controlled climate change lobby. In an attempt to silence any alternative views they claim the science is settled, the debate is over and anyone who disagrees is a labelled a 'denier', a word associated with those who deny the Holocaust.

This is the ultimate smear and illustrates the depths to which socialists/communists and leftist will sink to abuse anyone who disagrees.

A second alternative is the abuse of language. This is an Orwellian concept  that by twisting the meaning of words one can eventually rewrite history to portray it in a light favourable to their ideology.


The word 'gay' is a classic example.

Men attracted to other men have always been known as homosexuals, there's nothing wrong with that. Like heterosexual its a perfectly functional word which doesn't imply inferior status. The word 'gay' has been hijacked with the intention of changing the widely held perception of homosexuals as sexual deviants to a more benign lighthearted and carefree group.

It has also had the effect of giving homosexuals special status as opposed to equal status with heterosexuals.

In the methodology of leftists special status metamorphosis's into victim status and hence votes.

'Progressive' is another word that has been hijacked by the left with the intention of changing its meaning to promote a softer image for their ideology.

The following is a run down of some of the worse socialist/communist/leftist regimes and their leaders comprising of the darkest, most murderous enemies of the human race.

Nazi Germany - Hitler
USSR - Lenin, Stalin thro to Putin today
China - Mao Tse Tung Thro to Wen Jabao today
Cambodia - Pol Pot
North Korea - the Kim family
Cuba - Castro
Ethiopia - Mengistu Haile Mariam
Serbia - Slobodan Milosovic
Libya - Colonel Ghadaffi
Syria - the Assad family
Zimbabwe - Butcher Bob Mugabe
The entire post war East European Bloc with its secret police forces, political
prisoners, poverty for the masses but riches for the political elite.

Its no wonder with a reputation for bloodsoaked oppression that leftists need a word to replace socialism/communism.

Now calling themselves 'Progressives' they claim their mission is fairness, social justice and a more equal society engineered by a benign state.

In the perverted world of socialist doublethink, the closer we move toward the totalitarian regimes mentioned above the more progress society has made.

Beware! 'Progressives' may have changed their name but they are still socialists/communists, Marxists and there's nothing progressive about Marxism.

Progress would be bettered measured by the amount of distance countries move away from the oppressive socialist/communist regimes toward the light of freedom.

Ed Miliband - The Red Prince of Wales

If we are honest with ourselves we, the people of Wales, have no control over our own destiny. We are powerless. By continuing to re-elect the same servile Labour politicians over and over again, we have disenfranchised ourselves. We are predictable and therefore we are taken for granted.

The Welsh Assembly can be discounted, it's nothing more than a toothless quango. An expensive talking shop whose only purpose appears to be the distribution of other peoples money and lining the pockets of its Members.

Any powers that have not been transferred to Brussels by our traitorous politicians resides in Westminster. This residual power is currently wielded by a wealthy North London Tory career politician aided and abetted by a wealthy North London  Lib Dem career politician.

Wales, predictably, has invested all its political capital in a wealthy North London Labour career politician.

Welsh political power is divided between:

Plaid Cymru who are hanging on in there but are ineffectual outside their specific locations.

The Lib Deb power can be discounted and considered a wasted vote. Their day has been and gone. They should join that national embarrassment Lembit Opik in the annals of history.

Tory power in Wales is tenuous to say the least but being part the ruling party in the Westminster coalition they do have some minor influence and like governments before them they will be judged, by me at least, by results not spin.

The awful truth is that Ed Miliband wields political power in Wales, not Carwyn Jones or any other Labour politician. They tug a forelock on bended knee to Ed Miliband, they are his poodles.

Who is Ed Miliband, the other Prince of Wales? A look at his various biographies is very enlightening.

One cannot begin to understand Ed Miliband without reference to his father, a Marxist 'intellectual' who was a huge influence in his young life.

How Adolph, renamed Ralph, could even think about being a Marxist is beyond belief. The alter ego to Nazism, Marxism is an evil, blood soaked creed, responsible for deaths of some 100 million people worldwide.

It is said that once Karl Marx gets under the skin he takes over the brain and renders his victim incapable of rational thought.

The Miliband household was the epicentre for the North London radical socialist/communist circles and the young Milibands were involved in the proceedings from an early age. The Communist Manifesto appeared to be the guiding document of their lives.

Ralph Miliband was not just a radical communist, he was an absolute fanatic.

He recalls being in Highgate cemetery  "standing in front of Karl Marxs' grave, fists clenched swearing my own private oath that I would be faithful to the workers cause". "I thought of myself as a revolutionary socialist or communist" he continues.

Later, he goes on to say  "I don't know how faithful I was to that oath in terms of action. I am sure I could have done more, immeasurably more. But I have not from that day to this departed from the view that this was the right cause and that I belong to it".

Ralph is buried about 12 yards from his bloodsoaked idol.

Imagine the furore if a conservative 'intellectual' swore a similar oath at the grave of Mussolini. The BBC and the Guardian would be apoplectic.

In his book Socialism For A Sceptical Age, Ralph Miliband states that the construction of a socialist state is a generational journey. Moving toward the goal rather than the goal itself.

I have not seen any evidence that Ed Miliband is not a chip off the old block. He is still influenced by Marx's Communist Manifesto and believes that the wealth of the nation should be confiscated by the government and redistributed as they see fit.

He is an admitted egalitarian believing that everyone is equal, except that is, the ruling elite. Miliband himself is worth some 4 million. He could practice what he preaches and redistribute that first.

It is my belief that Ed Miliband is finishing the generational journey his father started. By his words and actions it is obvious to the astute that he is in the process of constructing that beloved socialist state.

This period out of office is a blip on the generational journey. A fourth term was unlikely so Labour left behind enough booby traps while in office to ensure that the coalition will be a single term government.

This is the man that wields political power in Wales. The Welsh Labour leaders are appointed vassals charged with keeping the Welsh people where they are in exchange for a bone off the table in the form of an annual grant.

We need new thinking in Wales together with a new direction and new leaders if we are going to save future generations from the drab, hopeless state of serfdom envisioned by Ralph and Ed Miliband.

Ann Clwyd -The Last Aberdare Snake

The legend of Aberdare snakes persist to this day. The lines of torches seen snaking over the mountain at night as blackleg Aberdare miners replaced the striking miners of Merthyr Tydfil.

Legend perhaps but history should be put to one side if Aberdare and the Cynon valley is to be rescued from its current politician induced state of stagnation and deliberately engineered welfare dependency.

 The electors of Aberdare together with Mountain Ash, Abercynon and the other villages that make up the Cynon valley constituency have fallen for the spin and sophistry of their Labour masters time and again.

Despite her record of abysmal failure they keep re-electing Ann Clwyd as their representative in Parliament as if they are in a trance or perhaps its through some misguided sense of loyalty.

Ann Clwyd ticks all the boxes for the remote champagne quaffing Labour elite that determines who gets to be an MP and what agenda they want her to follow.

A tertiary glance at her biography tells all. An elite education which she fights to deny her constituents; that's the hypocrite box ticked.

The Trade Union/BBC/Guardian/Observer revolving door into the Labour Party and she's ready for Parliament.

Rejected by the astute people of Denbigh and Gloucester Ann Cwyd is fixed up for the taxpayer funded gravy train and gets elected as an Member of the European Parliament.

Unfortunately this toothless talking shop is not the platform she wants so once she's qualified for her Euro pension she's out of there as fast as the Eurostar can carry her.

The electors of Cynon Valley obliged where the sensible electors Denbigh and Gloucester refused and returned her as their MP.

With her pockets stuffed with taxpayer cash from European gravy train she is now free to follow her own agenda and the fate of the Cynon Valley people is sealed for generations.

Ann Clwyd gets involved with Overseas Development while Cynon Valley decays into deprivation. She campaigns for Human Rights, Female Genital Mutilation - it must be rife in Ynysybwl - and Nuclear Disarmament.

Ann Clwyd lists Human Rights, International Development and Animal Welfare as her special interests. She can forget the children in the deprived areas in her constituency, their votes are in the bag when their time comes for them to vote, so lets concentrate on that little doggy in the window.

She list her countries of Interest as Cambodia, Iran, Iraq, Russia, East Timor, Turkey and Vietnam. 

East Timor for goodness sake! Where are the underdeveloped parts of Wales on her list?

True to form for a modern unprincipled Labour Party socialist Ann Clwyd likes money, lots of it, other peoples off course. It can be noted that wealth creation of any shape or form is missing from her Curriculum Vitae.

I would advise her constituents, especially those from her deprived areas, to take a look at her expenses. Its no wonder she whinged and whined about them being made public.

Flat screen TV and its delivery charge, Duck egg wallpaper, silk duck egg fabric, very nice Ann.

400 quid a month on food, 200 a month for cleaning, 2,300 for carpets, table and chair.

Adding insult to injury she charged her constituents for the items that, if they could be afforded, would help them improve their lives namely, home buying fees, mortgage and council tax. She even charged them for her TV licence fee.

Total it up, she rents out an apartment in North Wales, she has a pension from the European Parliament with tax concessions, her parliamentary salary and expenses, she qualifies for a copper bottomed pension when she retires. This is one rich lady and apart from her rental income, it is all paid for by the hard pressed taxpayers of the Cynon Valley. There may be other income from other sources but I gave up looking.

I believe the legend of the Aberdare Snakes will end when the last one is gone. Ann Clwyd is the last snake. People of Cynon Valley put right what you have done wrong, deselect this charlatan who has blighted the lives of yourselves and your children and condemned future generations to poverty and dependency.

Cynon Valley - Labour Epic Fail.

The last time I visited this constituency I stopped at the distillery in Penderyn to top up supplies en route to a day out in Brecon. Its was a beautiful day and everything looked rosy in Hirwaun and Penderyn.

All is not well though, in fact by any measurable criteria its a shameful story of wilful neglect and abuse by politicians, coupled with the utter gullibility of the voters.

Its the typical South Wales story of rapid expansion during the Industrial Revolution followed by an even more rapid decline. Like the neighbouring constituencies of Neath and Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taf it is also its a typical story of Labour Party hegemony and managed stagnation which is designed to achieve wider political goals.

Looking at the political history, Labour has been in control of all the positions of power since its beginning and has just enjoyed thirteen years of unrestrained political power and yet conditions are no better than a generation ago.

According to the Welsh Governments Index of Deprivation 22% of all areas in this constituency fall in the top 10% of Most Deprived Areas in Wales. The majority of its areas are more deprived than the Wales average.

Job Seekers Allowance, Incapacity Benefits and Income Support are all higher than the Wales average. The Education statistics are worse than the Wales average.

This is a disgraceful record and the sole responsibility of the Labour Party and its perverted ideology. The politicians and civic leaders should hang their in shame at this abysmal performance.

They won't off course because they are doing their part as directed by the remote London based Labour elite who have grander plans.

These politicians claim that being champions of the poor, looking out for the underdog and standing up for the vulnerable is what they are about.

Deceivers all. They work to keep their constituents dependent on government, its their mission, its what keeps them in power.

They need the people exactly where they are. It would be a disaster for Labour if the people of Cynon Valley and rest of Wales were prosperous and financially independent of the government.

People of Cynon Valley you, your children and grandchildren are on the scrapheap and that's where you all are destined to stay if Ann Clwyd and the rest of the Labour hypocrites have their way.

Don't despair, there is a way out and its called dissent. Look around you and see the state your politicians have locked you into, ignore the London elite, fight back, kick them out, spare your children and future generations the indignity of welfare dependency.

Deselect Ann Clwyd, send her off into retirement to enjoy her taxpayer funded wealth.

Chris Bryant - A Dumbed Down Electorate And The Demise Of Great Britain

It is becoming clearer by the day that one of the reasons for the rapid demise of one of history's greatest superpowers into a mediocre, welfare infested wasteland, which incidentally is being overtaken by the third world countries it was instrumental in developing, is the appalling standard of their representatives and the rank stupidity of the people who continually re-elect them to office.

For students of history, politics or human behavior, Chris Bryant and his constituents of Rhondda Cynon Taf are an excellent case study for degree dissertations.

One man one vote is the basis of elections in Great Britain. Electors choose their preferred candidate and the one with the most votes gets elected. Tactical voting degrades the purity of the system somewhat when electors ignore their preferred choice and vote for a different one just to keep 'the other guy out'.

The electoral system and democracy itself is further degraded by mindless tribal voting. The remote party hierarchy dump unsuitable candidates of their own choice on a constituency knowing the electors will comply out of a perverted sense of loyalty or because they have been misled with false promises, spin and deception.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in Rhondda Cynon Taf. This used to be a noble place in times past, notorious for its hardworking and rebellious coal mining communities where people worked hard and played harder. In Labour Party parlance this was categorised as a 'masculine' constituency with attitudes that were unacceptable to their 'progressive' vision of a fair and equal, gender neutral country.

The Rhondda people used to be discerning in their choice of representative. From William Abraham their first MP through Bill Mainwaring the coal miner activist. There was war hero David Watts-Morgan, George 'order order' Thomas, the local boy Alec Jones through to the rebellious Allan Rogers.

It is surprising that from a population of some 60,000 souls not one could be found that was capable enough to represent them in Parliament.

Instead the metropolitan London based elite dumped their choice of candidate and the people meekly accepted him without so much as a squeak of protest.

Chris Bryant is an odious, publicity seeking narcissist totally unrepresentative of the people of Rhondda Cynon Taf.  He was selected by the London elite to pursue the homosexual agenda, not to deal with the dire problems facing the local people. He was born in Cardiff and raised in Cheltenham, which is about as far as one can get culturally and socially from Rhondda. He possessed no experience whatsoever of valley life and yet the dumbed down electorate continue to re-elect him, time and again.

Chris Bryant is an egalitarian, wealth redistributer with no experience in the wealth creating sector but he ticked all the right boxes for the trendy, London based 'progressive' elite. A homosexual, a priesthood dropout and an ex conservative who had discovered socialism and joined the Labour Party.

Socialism and authoritarianism go hand in hand so a spell at the sinister Common Purpose fake charity did not go amiss for Bryant.

For the uninitiated, the objective of this shadowy outfit is to train selected students for leadership outside authority in a post democratic age. That should wake up any Rhondda native who cherishes individual freedom and democracy.

After a spell working in the BBC/Labour Party axis and a stint as a local councilor, he's ready for Parliament.

Chris Bryant was dumped on the voters of Wycome who were obviously more discerning than the tribal voters of Rhondda and rejected him.

The voters of Rhondda Cynon Taf duly obliged the London elite in 2001 and Chris Bryant has been an embarrassment ever since.

A confirmed expenses cheat, he has no respect for the taxpayer or their hard earned money by treating it as his own. In typical socialist hypocrite style, he bleats about tax avoidance by the 'rich' but indulges in the same practices himself by changing the designation of his residences several times to avoid paying tax.

Most embarrassing was the incident of Chris Bryant trolling for sex on the Internet dressed only in his underwear. This disgusting and vulgar behaviour should have resulted in his resignation or deselection at least, but this is the new age of 'progressive' morality so this is now acceptable.

The people of Rhondda Cynon Taf  have disgraced themselves and embarrassed the whole of Great Britain by continually re-electing this shameless publicity seeking hypocrite who has abused their loyalty and trust to enrich himself and pursue his own agenda and that of the Labour Party elite.

His latest gaffs on immigration demonstrate once more to the people of his constituency not only his incompetence but his hypocrisy when talking about measures to deal with the disastrous consequences of open border mass immigration that he was instrumental in implementing.

When it is taken into account that this mindless tribal voting behavior is repeated hundreds of times across the country then it becomes easier to understand how the demise of Great Britain came about.

Candidates are chosen not by the people but the political elites of all the legacy parties. They are chosen not for their experience, skills or commitment to public service but for their loyalty to the party leaders and their ideology.

Some of the current high ranking members of the government including the Prime Minister and his Chancellor have no experience outside of party politics. A multitude of MP's have moved seamlessly from education to party politics bypassing the real world where the real people live.

Many of the current members of Parliament, Chris Bryant included, had no connection with their constituencies prior to selection as a candidate.

This has resulted in a government stuffed with political zealots who believe that only their opinions or their visions are valid and that they have a divine right to govern. Any dissent from their 'progressive' orthodoxy is treated as heresy and not tolerated. This applies to all the legacy parties; they really are all the same.

By indulging in tribal voting behavior and allowing the party elites to impose their choice of candidate, the people have disenfranchised themselves and the demise of their country is the result.

If Great Britain is going to be rescued from the dung heap it has become then a change in candidate selection and voting behavior must be the first step.

Peter Hain - Bastard Son of Neath Tribal Voters

No politician in Westminster has divided public opinion more than Peter Hain and no constituency in Wales has demonstrated the futility of mindless tribal voting than Neath and Port Talbot. They obviously didn't understand or maybe didn't care that they were being taken for granted and used.

Peter Hain was twice rejected by the discerning voters of Putney where he failed to unseat David Mellor, a shallow Tory buffoon and philanderer.

Neath had a fine tradition of selecting a local people as their parliamentary representative such as Sir William Jenkins, David Williams together with Donald Coleman from nearby Barry. It will remain a mystery why the noble people of Neath allowed themselves to be patronised by the champagne socialist London elite who control the Labour Party.

The undiscerning voters of Neath swallowed the carefully constructed public image of Peter Hain lock, stock and heating oil allowance. The supposedly fearless warrior against apartheid was harassed and forced from his native land to carry on the fight in Great Britain.

Unlike their Welsh counterparts the discerning voters of Putney obviously had the ability to look at the facts, ignore the image makers and form their own opinion.

The story goes that Hain ran messages for the African National Congress and at the age of 10 his bedroom was searched by the South African police looking for incriminating evidence. At age 15 he spoke at the funeral of a terrorist hanged for murdering a 77 year old woman and mutilating 23 innocent civilians when he placed a bomb at a railway station.

His parents were banned for putting up anti-apartheid posters so they decided to abandon the cause and their people and head for the safety Britain.

Its worth noting that anyone opposing apartheid in South Africa at that time were harassed and banned by the government, this treatment was not exclusive to the Hain family.

At great personal risk most of his anti-apartheid comrades chose to stay and carry on the fight.

Unlike his future constituents Peter Hain went on to have an elitist education then joined the Liberals and became a Trade Union researcher.

His 'fearless' fight against apartheid consisted of the 'Stop the Tour' campaigns against the South African rugby and cricket matches. At great personal risk our hero was involved with digging up cricket wickets and scattering nails on rugby pitches before milking the publicity for all its worth.

This direct action associated with the anti-apartheid campaign proved to be good material for the image makers in the years that followed.

In the meantime back in his native South Africa his comrades were being harassed, imprisoned, tortured and killed.

Hain's political ambitions proved stronger than his principles. With no chance of a political career as a Liberal, he suddenly discovered socialism, dumped them and joined the Labour party. The only thing that was required was a brain dead electorate who could be guaranteed to co-operate and it wasn't the discerning voters Putney.

Peter Hain went on to have a controversial parliamentary and ministerial career, notorious for its scandals and resignation.

Joining his new rich friends he adopted socialist principles, such as having no respect for taxpayers or their hard earned money. 

Outrageous expense claims such as heating oil, a roof for his woodshed, asking the taxpayers of Neath to pick up he bill for servicing his Aga and cleaning his windows. And then there was the faux leather tray, the posters and calenders, pens and ink. He even put his 80 year old mother on the payroll.

High on the list of scandals was the contributions to his leadership campaign. These were funnelled through a non working, recently created 'think tank' and not declared to the commissioner.

His excuse was accepted by the commissioner but its still unclear what the 'think tank' was for.

He stabbed the people of Gibraltar in the back over sovereignty and is not welcome on the Rock. The same was in store for Northern Ireland over his agreement with Sinn Fein on a united Ireland.

It's been stated before that with the British economy in ruins and her institutions destroyed, Hain retired to the backbenches to finish his term in comfort and to await his sinecure in the House of Lords or the European Union.

One thing is for sure, unlike other anti apartheid exiles, he will not be returning the his homeland to live out his days in the peace and security of the 'Rainbow Nation'.

In conclusion, is Peter Hain the heroic fighter against apartheid, forced out of his native land to carry on the fight in exile, who then discovered socialism and selflessly stood up for the poor, the downtrodden and the disadvantaged.......or is he an impostor, a narcissistic, ambitious, political opportunist and backstabber who is prepared to go to any lengths for personal advancement?

Hain, you've brought enough shame on the people of Neath and Port Talbot with your cowardice and self serving, backstabbing antics. Do your constituents a favour and crawl back under your rock until you join the other freeloaders in the Lords or the European Union.


Update: As predicted the champagne socialist hypocrite was indeed elevated to the House of Lords and now labours under the grandiose title of Baron Hain of Neath in the County of West Glamorgan.

Tolpuddle Martyrs - The Great Betrayal

For many people, disillusionment with the left and Trade Unionism became a final break in the aftermath of the Great Miners Strike of 1984.

It became abundantly clear that the leadership of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) abused the traditional loyalty of their membership and the coal mining communities in order to pursue a political agenda. These communities were left devastated, the consequences of which endure to this day.

It is now cast into legend that a cruel, heartless Mrs Thatcher was to blame but this does not stand up to scrutiny. Even a tertiary examination of the facts prove this to be a cynical manipulation of history which has become a hallmark of the left.

Trade Unions started with humble beginnings and by honourable people. In the absence of a welfare state and national health care provision, Friendly Societies were formed as mutual support systems for those in the community who had fallen upon hard times or were taken ill so as they could not support themselves or their families. These Societies eventually became trade specific and began challenging employers on terms and conditions for their particular trade or industry.

Although Unions were technically legal,  employers and their supporters, remained hostile to the idea of collective action for mutual benefit. When six humble agricultural workers from Tolpuddle in rural Dorset risked everything to form a Society, in effect a Trade Union,  and refused to work when their wages were lowered, they were prosecuted.

They were found guilty using an obscure law which forbade the mutual swearing of oaths and subsequently transported to the penal colony in Australia.

The severity of the punishment provoked outrage. Hundreds of protests and marches across the entire country eventually secured their release. As a consequence of their acquittal and release, their collective action had effectively been condoned and with this Trade Unionism was born.

Collective action empowered groups of workers and this gave them some influence concerning the terms and conditions in the industries in which they were employed.

It is the scope of this influence that plagues British industry to this day.

Wherever there is a source of power there will be unscrupulous opportunist who will attempt to usurp that power for their own corrupt ends.

As soon as collective action was seen to be an effective tool for gaining concessions, ideologically inspired individuals did indeed usurp that power then broadened its scope from agreeing local terms and conditions to taking over the running of the entire industries.

Trade Union barons became so powerful that they could challenge democratically elected governments, as was witnessed during the Industrial strife in Great Britain in the 1970's and 80's.

These ideologically driven Union barons could no better run a country than they could run their individual industries and with the assistance of their puppet politicians in Parliament disaster for British industry followed.

Beer and sandwiches with Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government gave rise to the Closed Shop legislation, demarcation lines, picket lines, secondary picketing,  flying pickets, sympathy strikes, wild cat strikes, the three day week, power cuts, rubbish mountains and the unburied dead.

For those with an unjaundiced view of history, this era of unbridled union power signalled the end of Great Britain as a global industrial power.

The Great Miners Strike of 1984 was an attempt by politically inspired Union barons, Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey, together with their useful idiot minions in the NUM, to abuse the loyalty of the coal mining communities and bring down the democratically elected government of the day, a government with which they disagreed ideologically and despised.

They knew the consequences if they failed but as always with their perverted creed, the ends will always justify the means and they got to walk away unscathed and unpunished.

I observed the wreckage of the communities at the time and I still see the continuing aftermath today and in spite of this, for the barons nothing has changed.

They were and still are ideologically inspired cowards and they still abuse their members loyalty to engineer the imposition of a socialist state.

One noticeable difference is that in some cases the workers are almost as unprincipled as their bosses. Their loyalty can be bought with money extorted from employers too weak and cowardly to stand up to the unprincipled use of industrial muscle and blackmail.

The abuse of working people and the long suffering public by ideologically inspired, fat cat union barons, who are immune from the misery they cause or to the financial consequences of their actions, is a great betrayal of the sacrifice made by the principled and honourable workers of Tolpuddle who must be turning in their graves.
