Unison's Dave Prentis and that Miners Strike Reference


Recommended Posts

The changes the Tories are bringing in are an ideological attack on the state and state provision of services. The analogy works perfectly when addressed to public sector worker's who are being outsourced and made redundant.

 

I think you mean it's a counterpoint to the ideological expansion of the public sector and state attack on free enterprise and business that Labour ran for thirteen years.

 

The reason why it was a bad idea, and why it needs sorting has been know for centuries..

 

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it - Jefferson
