mossdog Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Evidence of this? And the date of the OP's link is 21 February 2012 Last updated at 14:27 so I'd like to know how he could have posted any earlier. Well let's be honest!..........we are dealing with Mecky!

vinyl Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you feel secure when we depend upon imports of gas from Iran,Russia and Malanka Buka? Your arguement would be a lot more convincing if the power was going off now even half as often as it did then. The great thing about importing fuel is you can shop elsewhere if your regular supplier becomes unreliable, and Russia won't be sending flying pickets to block supplies when that happens.

*_ash_* Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This is/was a very quiet thread wasn't it? That's a surprise, I didn't expect that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellyman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This is/was a very quiet thread wasn't it? That's a surprise, I didn't expect that at all. But it is rather interesting that a past figurehead of trade unionism is more interested in his pound of flesh than the future of the union he once ran. I'm sort of struggling with the figures here. Union has 1695 members Scargills pension is £60,000 Car allowance £12,000 Rent on ONE OF his flats in London £32,000 Contributionto Labour Party £50,000 How does the union pay the actual staff who do the work or even afford to pay the phone bill?

All I can say is that that some union members must think Scargills worth it!..............look at Rooney earning more in a month than some supporters have earned in a lifetime.......because he's worth it?

So why are the union members not telling their union to give him the money. This whole thread is about a court case between the union and scargill. Shouldn't they be saying "Good old Arthur. Let him bleed us dry because he's worth it"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So why are the union members not telling their union to give him the money. This whole thread is about a court case between the union and scargill. They probably can't answer that, just like the ones who protested about pensions yet are happy to see their leaders pocket huge amounts (see earlier post and link).

I have often wondered why Scargill wants to bankrupt the Union he has done so well out of. Since forming the far-left Socialist Labour Party, Scargill now has no loyalties to the Labour Party, and perhaps he is against the NUM’s political levy to the Labour Party.

Dingus Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Scargill is an agent recruited 50 years ago and mandated to infiltrate and destroy the NUM. There were similar agents in the dock workers and print unions. If only we had folk like them in MI5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
