Islam versus Europe

May force childless liberals to reproduce.

Beyond parody, Saturday's Guardian gave us this. A couple of choice quotes here may prevent an incredulous spill of coffee:

Britain's biggest unions are warning of a threat of violence by far-right groups during national strike action this month, amid concern that fascist elements are increasingly intent on targeting striking public sector workers.
Unite, Unison and the TUC said they were taking the prospect of disruption by far-right supporters seriously, and had begun to liaise with police to assess any risk to pickets or those on protest marches. The development follows signs that splinter groups from the English Defence League are broadening their campaign from targeting Muslims to trade unionists and socialist organisations. Members of the EDL have recently been involved in attacks on anti-racist and anti-cuts protesters, as well as attempting to target the Occupy movement which has camped outside St Paul's Cathedral.

To back up the unsubstantiated fear mongering, an expert is wheeled out:

Dr Matthew Goodwin, extremism expert and political lecturer at the University of Nottingham, said the far right in the UK was becoming increasingly confrontational. "Historically, trade unionists and the far right have been fiercely opposed to one another," he said. "Trade unionists view the modern far right as a continuation of interwar fascism, and so support anti-fascist campaigns and groups. Meanwhile, far-right extremists tend to view trade unionists as promoting multiculturalism and political correctness. While these disputes are ideological, they have often become incredibly personal.

"Over the past three years, the far right in Britain has become increasingly confrontational and provocative."

Forgetting for a moment that trade's unions and the labour party where formed to protect the interests of British working people, Unites Chief Pinhead, Len McCluskey sez:

"Trade unionists stand against everything the EDL stands for," he said. "Trade unionists have fought long and hard for a fairer society, one with respect at its core. Ultra-rightwing groups care about nothing other than stoking hatred, which is why they have no place in our communities."

With youth unemployment in the UK at over 1 million and long term, systemic unemployment at several millions, what is "fair" about continued mass immigration? What is "fair" about the liberalised free movement of labour within Europe? Nothing - but union leaders have little to say about real problems, only imaginary ones.

That's because, like the boss class, like the politicos, like academia and the bureaucracy, local, national and supra-national, the unions have signed up for GLOBALISATION and only represent and agitate for MORE GLOBALISATION.

Leave your union, leave the liberal bubble. Stop paying for your own dispossession.
